Solved Speed up crop growth?

I'm trying to get crops nearby a specific block to grow faster by using this code:

Code:

//this checks if there's a special block nearby
        if(hasNearbyGModel(event.getBlock(), 1) != null){
            //this checks the block's kind
            if(hasNearbyGModel(event.getBlock(), 1) == Material.IRON_BLOCK){
               
                event.getBlock().setData((byte) (event.getNewState().getRawData() + (byte) 1));

                //this checks the block's kind
            }else
if(hasNearbyGModel(event.getBlock(), 1) == Material.GOLD_BLOCK){
               
                event.getBlock().setData((byte) (event.getNewState().getRawData() + (byte) 2));
               
//this checks the block's kind
            }else if(hasNearbyGModel(event.getBlock(), 1) == Material.EMERALD_BLOCK){
               
                event.getBlock().setData((byte) (event.getNewState().getRawData() + (byte) 3));
               
            }
           
        }

So basically, I'm using BlockGrowEvent to do this, and attempting to change the plant's data to let it grow

 

BlockGrowMethod, get the blocks data, increase by 1, set.

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void on(BlockGrowEvent e) {
        e.getBlock().setData((byte) (e.getBlock().getData() + 1));
    }

Untested, but should increase growth rate by 2x?

Try it. You may also want to check if the block is fully grown or not first, to avoid over-setting the data value.

 

@HeyAwesomePeople thank you. They grow faster now.
