Make Crops Grow Faster With Commands! (Random Tick Speed)

Hey everybody, it’s UnderMyCap and welcome back to another video! Today I’m going to be showing you how to make crops and plants grow super quickly in Minecraft with commands. I’ll be covering both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition, and the good news is the commands are basically the same thing. Let’s get straight into it!

Why Do Crops Grow So Slowly in Minecraft?

For a plant to typically grow quicker, all you need to do is simply place wheat next to a water source and put light next to it. However, even with the ideal conditions, this process is just so slow. Thankfully, there is a simple solution using a command called Random Tick Speed.

What Is Random Tick Speed?

Random Tick Speed is a game rule that increases the tick speed of your world so that everything moves a lot quicker. By default, the random tick speed is set to around 1 or 10 on a new world. By changing this value, you can dramatically speed up the growth of crops and anything else that relies on the tick speed in your world.

How To Change Random Tick Speed in Java Edition

To use the command in Java Edition, simply open your chat and type /gamerule randomTickSpeed — make sure you have a capital T and a capital S in randomTickSpeed. After that, you just enter your desired number. For example, setting it to 1000 will have your crops growing at an incredibly fast rate. You can visibly see the grass and crops growing almost instantly — it is absolutely ridiculous how quick it goes!

⚠️ Warning: Be careful not to set the number too high, as this can potentially crash Minecraft. Similarly, if you set it too low, nothing will work as expected.

How To Change Random Tick Speed in Bedrock Edition

In Bedrock Edition, things work a little differently, but it is actually even simpler since you can do it without typing a command at all. All you need to do is click the little button at the top of your screen, or press Escape on your computer, and head into Settings. From there, make sure you have cheats enabled, click on Game, and scroll all the way down to the bottom where you will find the Random Tick Speed slider. You can adjust it however you like — and don’t forget you can always reset it back to the default value of 1. Just like in Java Edition, setting it to 1000 will have your crops growing incredibly fast, just make sure your crops have light or they won’t grow!

⚠️ Warning: Just like in Java Edition, setting the value too high in Bedrock can also cause issues, so keep that in mind when adjusting the slider.
