Jelly here,

I have a huge farm, and from previous memory, the server's render distance is 6 chunks. But some crops fail to grow even just 5 chunks away, which is a bit of a disappointment. 

So the question is, what is the server's render distance?

Advise: Don't make big farms and just use a machine like /warp free_xp

Or, Stand in the exact center of your farm, you can just /afk or something and it will all grow. or build a smaller farm

[Rowebot]

Or make a multi-layer farm like I have at /warp rabbits

Then you only need to render 1 chunk.

So what is the render distance of the server? If it is only 3, which it seems like, that's ridiculous. My crops won't grow even 3 chunks away.....

still 6

[JoBot2014]

Maybe double check your game render distance

I have a similar issue, my island is large enough that my trees on one side and my cows on the other won't grow at the same time even if I stand in the center between the two... So I'm going to build a rail track that loops my land and ride it when I'm AFKing.

Frost explained to me how the crop growth activation range is counted by blocks and not chunks. So maybe frost can explain it better. Since coincidentally, my crops stopped growing at chunk border which seemed like a render problem.

I also wanted to make a farm but I can't because of the render distance. Why is it 6 anyway, due to lagg? Would you consider changing the distance to 12 or is this not plausible?
