[MCPE-41198] grass spreading is messed up

I noticed this with my sheep farm when after I sheered them suddenly nothing grew back. I killed them all to see if the grass would grow back but it doesn't. It does this in other spots where grass has been built on and is tuned into dirt.

I have also been noticing that as well. This should definitely be fixed as soon as possible

Confirmed

Grass is spreading to coarse dirt instead of dirt.

Posting confirmation for grass only spreading to coarse dirt.

IPlease fix I and release an hot fix update beta

Gerardo Castro 2019-02-07T04:18:07Z

I also confirm that this still happens in 1.10.0.4

Chelsea B 2019-02-08T18:01:07Z

Glad I'm not the only one having this issue.

Chris Perry 2019-02-08T18:50:58Z

This is getting really annoying, why say it was resolved then release a version and bam... It's still bugged?!?

Helcostr 2019-02-08T19:19:19Z

They haven't solved the issue for this version (1.10.0.3,0.4) Chris. My guess is that they tried to enhance the grass spread logic, and blacklisted the wrong block.

cameron c 2019-02-08T19:54:11Z

Looking at the offsets that's exactly what happened. A little bit of HEX editing for me fixed the problem lol

Helcostr 2019-02-08T21:19:23Z

Cameron, how did you fix this temporarily? Sounds like you modified the running memory of the game?

Zach 2019-02-09T04:23:54Z

Agreed. My world looks awful with huge patches of dirt missing. Silk touch tools help a little but expensive

Helcostr 2019-02-09T04:59:48Z

As a temporary fix, place down coarse dirt: grass spreading has been confirmed for coarse dirt (whoops) and denied for normal dirt. And remember to kill all nearby wild sheep.

cameron c 2019-02-09T15:34:59Z

Ya it's sad when you have to HEX edit a bug. Lol. Before it looked like the blight apocalypse came through my world.

@Ben Chiu
I diffed the win10 executables. Saw what changed. And trial and error hex edited block changes till I found the right one.

Robin M 2019-02-09T18:01:06Z

This is not resolved. Started a new world today after bug updates and grass is still not regenerating.

Ghost 2019-02-13T23:24:47Z

So, I just noticed that grass does spread. But it spreads to coarse dirt, which it isn’t supposed to. So it seems that the code for dirt and coarse dirt were switched. Affects version 1.10.0.4

cameron c 2019-02-22T04:19:49Z

This is still unknown if resolved due to latest update crashing on win 10?

Shalene Baggs 2019-03-14T06:45:02Z

Yep, clearly not resolved. Started a world this past week - no spready spready. Does anyone know, when this is ACTUALLY resolved will it be fixed in my current world or will the fix only apply to new worlds? Thanks!

Helcostr 2019-03-14T10:53:43Z

@Shalene Baggs Contrary to what cameron c was complaining that "all windows users were unable to verify that this was fixed in beta 1.11.0.1", we soon discovered it was indeed fixed, and even in 1.11.0.4, it seems to be going strong.

This specific bug was related to grass spreading to coarse dirt instead of the intended normal dirt.
