World generates less grass compared to Java Edition
Hello, thanks for the new update btw. The community would love to see the amount of grass and flowers being tweaked on bedrock versions. Some places and biomes on the game lack grass which is kinda weird to be honest, specially there are new mountains now. I saw a screenshot of side by side comparison of java and bedrock edition, Please check.

The world still seems to generate less foliage compared to Java Edition even after the parity changes introduced in the 1.21.60.23 Preview. Not only is this especially noticeable in the plains biome and other generally flat areas, but less or almost no foliage can also be observed in underwater areas.
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch Minecraft Preview (1.21.60.23 and above)
- Create a new world in creative mode
- Navigate to a plains biome
- Observe your surroundings.
Expected Result:
Like Java Edition, both tall and short grass are significantly more present and generate frequently in large clumps. The oceans are also filled with more kelp, and flowers are more prevalent in Flower Forests or in other biomes known for having a lot of Flowers. There is generally more foliage in general across all locations in the world.
Observed result:
There is more grass present compared to previous previews or release versions, but unlike Java edition, there is significantly less of both tall and short grass which is also more spread out. Oceans can sometimes have almost no kelp and consist of only seaweed (Fixed in 1.21.60.27) . Flowers are also less common in many flower-bearing biomes. There is generally less foliage in general across all locations in the world.
Notes:
To be clear, this is not meant to be a duplicate of MCPE-141364. Rather, this post is directed toward the changes made in 1.21.60.23 that do improve the overall generation of grass, kelp, flowers, and other plants in their respective biomes and locations. While foliage generation is better, it still needs some fine tuning, and it would be best to give generation more tweaks over the next couple of Previews until the community is satisfied.
Despite the resolving of MCPE-188870, the world still suffers from less grass and flower generation compared to Java Edition even after the changes made in the 1.21.60.27 Preview (though I'm still not sure why MCPE-188870 was closed considering the fact that 1.21.60.27 did not address any of the issues with grass and flower generation).
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch Minecraft Preview (1.21.60.27+)
- Create a new world in creative mode
- Navigate to a Plains, Savannah, or Flower Forest biome
- Observe your surroundings
Expected Result:
Like Java Edition, both tall and short grass are significantly more present and generate frequently in large clumps. Flowers are more prevalent in all biomes known for having a lot of Flowers.
Observed result:
Grass and flower generation is still exactly the same as it was in 1.21.60.23 and the experimental changes introduced in 1.21.60.25 make no difference. Like I mentioned previously in MCPE-188870 most foliage generation (besides Kelp and Seagrass) is unlike Java edition. In summary:
- There is significantly less of both tall and short grass. On Bedrock both grass types generate very spread apart.
- Flowers are less common in many flower-bearing biomes.
Notes:
This is a new report containing the unfixed issues found in MCPE-188870 (thanks again to AgentMindStorm2) and is not meant to be a duplicate of MCPE-141364. Like I also mentioned in MCPE-188870, while foliage generation is better, it still needs some fine tuning. Again, I implore the team to please give foliage generation some more tweaks over the next couple of Previews similar to how we've received improvements to the generation of Kelp and Seagrass in the 1.21.60.27 Preview.
The team should preferably draw inspiration from version 0.9.0 of Pocket Edition (as highlighted by LumiQuest at MCPE-141364) in regards to grass generation because it more closely matches modern day Java's grass generation compared to the generation present in 1.21.60.23 or 1.21.60.27:
Confirmed, this is a Java Parity feature for Bedrock
This may be a duplicate of
MCPE-19115. Generally there is less grass in the bedrock so that the productivity is higher. Large amounts of grass can severely hinder productivity. However, since this could be a real parity problem. It is up to the mojang to decide.Thank you for your report!
However, this issue has been temporarily closed as Awaiting Response.
Is this still an issue in the latest version? If yes, can you please add it to the affected versions (or mention it if you are not the reporter)?
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

Affects 1.18.2
Affects 1.18.10.22
Can confirm in 1.18.33 (and 1.19.10.21)
It's sad that the abundance of grass once existed in Minecraft Bedrock, but that was a long time ago during the PE era.
Alpha versions of Pocket Edition generates grass everywhere
I can confirm this happens since 0.15.0 (from 2016), and still happens in 1.21.31 (from 2024), so it's an 8 years old bug
Confirmed in 1.21.44
I can confirm this has been fixed in 1.21.60.23, as world now generates more grass, like Java does.
Thank you so much for fixing this! Now please fix MCPE-121708, MCPE-165424, MCPE-188463, MCPE-188479, MCPE-46176 and MCPE-7990 and I will play again daily ; )
While the changes to grass distribution in 1.21.60.23 do look significantly better, Java still has way more grass. From what I've observed:
I hope the team takes the time over multiple previews to fine tune grass generation.
