''Alters the growth rate for plants and animals {[https://github.com/CivClassic/RealisticBiomes source], [https://github.com/CivClassic/AnsibleSetup/blob/master/templates/public/plugins/RealisticBiomes/config.yml.j2 config]}''

Growth rates drastically vary across biome type. In some biomes certain plants will not grow at all. There are two types of growth rate:

* Fixed (Persistent plants such as wheat, potato and beetroot) : growth rate given in hours

In an optimal setting growth takes around 3 hours for small crops like wheat and potatoes, and for trees between 3 to 8 hours. Growth rates are generally lowest in realistic or reasonable corresponding biomes. For example, the biome of deep ocean has one of the worst growth rates. ReaslisticBiome's also changes fishing probabilities and one can hit the ground with a fishable item to see its fishing probability (if it is not zero). Fishing is restricted to water biomes{{Citation needed}}.

The growth rate of a tile can be improved by placing clay blocks directly beneath. Placing more than 4 clay block below will not improve the rate further. Two exceptions exist.

Crop growth is persistent, meaning crops will continue to grow when chunks are unloaded

Most plants need sunlight, either directly above, or through transparent blocks such as glass. This is not the case for netherwarts and mushrooms.

Placing a glowstone (or redstone-lamp{{Citation needed}}) block above or adjacent to a crop lets the crop grow (albeit slower) in situations it normally would not. This includes crops which are underground or in inhospitable biomes. To grow pumpkins and melons with greenhouse, place the glowstone block adjacent to the free block where the fruit block will grow, and block all other free spots so that the fruit can only grow next to glowstone.
