A player on a realm accidentally jumps on a potato crop and it created a fountain of potatoes, 1000's and 1000's of potatoes lagging the realm. I was able to recreate the bug on a back-up of the world. I had to jump on multiple crops before it happened, but was able to recreate it twice, potatoes, carrots and wheat seeds. Didn't try other crops.

We have had this problem during an unrelated lag issue. A player and I are going to try to recreate the conditions and see if we can make a test world that produces this situation. If we can, we'll upload it. Wheat, potato crops just going crazy seemingly replanting themselves and bursting out of the ground. 1.2.9 on a Realm.
It appears this is a "realms+Bedrock" issue. This weekend I'll try to recreate the situation that caused this on our server. I think it is triggered when there is already lag in effect, then the cropland just "goes nutz" and makes it far, far worse. We'll see if we can duplicate it on Single-player first, then try it on our realm. I'd really love to ship Mojang a working example of cropland self-harvesting.
Thank you for your report!

also noticed that after jumping on the crop it would replant itself.
