Growing Grass
by Fluffical
Growing Grass makes grass blocks, ferns and podzol spread short grass and ferns that grow into tall plants on their own.
What it does
Grass blocks produce short grass that grows into tall grass over time, and the same growth applies to ferns on podzol. Mushrooms also grow, but they do not become a taller variant. The rate of growth can be set in the config. Only the server needs the mod, and it is published for NeoForge across 14 release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.2, under the MIT License, with open source code.
Key features
Grass growth
Short grass on grass blocks grows into tall grass after a period of time.
Fern and podzol growth
Ferns on podzol follow the same growth path, so both ground types gain taller plants.
Configurable growth
The timing of plant growth can be adjusted in the config file.

What the author says
Grass Blocks now grow short grass, and short grass grows into tall grass! Same with ferns but with podzol instead. Mushrooms grow too but they dont become the tall variant. Growth is configurable. (This is my first mod!)
