 Description   

Update by Mega_Spud:
Summary:
Grass (short and tall) generation in Plains biomes is a lot less than in previous versions and in the Java version.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start a new world (Seed example 1739530041)
  2. Travel to the plains biome (example: /tp 386 64 -22)

Observed Results:
There is not much grass and tall grass in the plains.

Expected Results:
In previous and other versions, plains have a lot of grass and tall grass.

Screenshots/Videos attached: Yes

Notes:


Original Description:
There seems to be a lot less patches of short grass (Plains), and there's more tall grass (Savannah).

Previously, both biomes had a lot more short grass.

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

Comment by Luan Cachoroski Halaiko [ 20/Oct/21 ]

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

Comment by Michael Jackson [ 25/Sep/21 ]

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.

Comment by The Retro Flowey [ 21/Nov/20 ]

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

Comment by [Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay Wells) [ 27/Sep/18 ]

We're tracking parity issues and feature requests on the Minecraft Feedback Site.

We're already working on achieving parity across versions where possible, and we're very keen to hear your requests or suggestions, so we'd encourage you to make a post at https://feedback.minecraft.net, or upvote an existing topic there.

If you're not sure whether your issue is a parity request or a bug, hopefully this article will help explain further: Parity Request Guide

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/ .

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.

Comment by Nagy Richárd [ 09/Sep/18 ]

Can someone reopen it please?

Comment by Nagy Richárd [ 07/Sep/18 ]

I attached a screenshot!

Comment by Nagy Richárd [ 07/Sep/18 ]

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.

Comment by Nagy Richárd [ 19/May/18 ]

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

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.

Comment by Mahmoud Mahmoud [ 04/Oct/17 ]

Still affects 1.2.2

Comment by Mahmoud Mahmoud [ 27/Aug/17 ]

Still affects build 1.2.0.22

Comment by Mahmoud Mahmoud [ 04/Aug/17 ]

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.

Comment by [MCPE Helper] Aspergerian [ 01/Aug/17 ]

Is this actually WAI?

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

Comment by Mahmoud Mahmoud [ 05/Jul/17 ]

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!
