 Description   

Grass will not grow under a fence or cobblestone wall.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Make a dirt rectangle surrounded by grass blocks
2) Places fences or cobblestone walls around the rectangle
3) Wait to see if the grass will grow under the fence or cobblestone wall square dirt area.

This makes fenced sheep farms extremely difficult. Affects versions at least since 0.9.x.

Doesn't affect torches, waited for the grass to grow under them and it did. However, this still affects fences and cobblestone walls.

Liam, see MCPE-8328 - Grass not spreading

Comment by gatharian [ 12/May/15 ]

Grass isn't growing back in 0.11.0 build 10 please re-open!

Comment by Katten [ 30/Apr/15 ]

I will reopen this ticket the issue reappears in the future.

Comment by Plethora777 [ 30/Apr/15 ]

Pat, if grass spreading is fixed and this issue is not fixed, I will open a new ticket, right?

Comment by Katten [ 30/Apr/15 ]

Plethora, if grass cannot spread at all in the recent builds, then there is no way to test if this is still an issue.

Comment by Plethora777 [ 30/Apr/15 ]

I'm surprised to see this listed as RESOLVED and pointing to a general problem with grass growing on 0.11.x. This (grass not spreading under fences) issue has existed since 0.9.x....

Comment by Plethora777 [ 18/Apr/15 ]

Appears to still not work on 0.11

Comment by G. S. [ 02/Feb/15 ]

Just to add, grass also does not grow under upside down stairs or stone walls

Comment by rplatham [ 28/Jan/15 ]

Reproduced in creative and survival on Galaxy S4, Android 4.4.2 by enclosing a dirt area with fence on dirt with grass blocks surrounding the outside of the fencing. To be clearer, if there is a grass block under any part of the fencing, grass blocks will grow into the fenced in dirt area.
