Going to give this bug the exposure it deserves.

There is very little tall grass and it makes finding seeds a PAIN on Pocket compared to something like the console version. Also, the clouds generally look uglier too!

Is this actually WAI?

If not, then it's still around in 1.2.0.2.

Mahmoud Mahmoud 2017-08-04T11:40:01Z

I don't think this is intentional. Otherwise, the amount of double tall grass still wouldn't be the same. Please fix this bug before it comes to console.

Still affects build 1.2.0.22

Still affects 1.2.2

It's worth noting that flowers and grass render out when the player is far away enough. I don't think this is the case with Java and Legacy Console.

I think it is need to be fix because the plains and savannas doesn't look beautiful.

Nagy Richárd 2018-09-07T15:15:21Z

Mega_Spud this is a bug because I tried an older version of MCPE(0.14.0) yesterday and I saw the grass generation in 0.14.0 version was the same as java edition. This bug introduced in version 0.15.0. I think it is need to be reopen and fix.

Nagy Richárd 2018-09-07T16:23:53Z

I attached a screenshot!

Nagy Richárd 2018-09-09T13:12:22Z

Can someone reopen it please?

This ticket has been closed as WAI. Not all differences between platforms are counted as bugs. This could be because Bedrock has different terrain generation than Java but it doesn't mean that it is a bug similar to how pistons behave differently.

Furthermore, the fact that you were able to use two very old versions of the game(and switch between those versions) concerns me. Anyway, please understand that this was resolved as such for a good reason. If the mods find that this is in fact a bug then they would reopen it.

According to Helen this is a bug that they haven't had the time to fix yet https://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftsuggestions/comments/8n97ni/there_should_be_more_tall_grass_in_bedrock/e001986/ .

Why is this "works as intended"? The old versions of Bedrock didn't have this issue?

Michael Jackson 2021-09-25T07:54:38Z

Mojang, please fix this less grass generation issue on bedrock. It will make plains and savannas really beautiful. By this issue, I don't feel like I'm playing Minecraft. Please consider this bug.

Luan Cachoroski Halaiko 2021-10-20T22:51:51Z

Not having the right amount of tallgrass in the plains biome looks very bad, please fix this! it definitely isn't working as intended in my opinion

Blast fCentury 2022-01-27T22:14:07Z

So many grass in the generation would be so nostalgically satisfying for me
