Plant grow without player presence

Hey all, i feel its realy fustrating that plants only grow while there is a player nearbym i love to build big farms in survival with a big villager but sadly farms could extend tot a surtain range before they wouldn't grow annymore. So i think why not introducing a scarecrow to "watch" the field something a player can place And build or buy. So that not all of Minecraft have to constantly render. And maybe make the system easy like a pre programt timer that doenst need constant evaluation from the system. Annyway IT would be realy epic if you put this tot life

  Originally I was thinking that they don’t grow because chuck loading but if we had a scarecrow to side load the chunk that would be good and a great idea

  Maybe if a chunk has been filled for about 70% to 80%, it would store that chunk. Not on servers, as things can get a little hectic on there when it comes to crops.

  Same problem, different approach:

  When loading a chunk with crops inside, the game checks, how long the chunk has been unloaded and occasionally increases the growth state

  This really discourages players from exploring other areas as your home base is just shut down when away. It's the same with Phantoms.

   

  It should be handled like in Clash of Clans. When leaving a chunk save the current time. Upon reactivation of the chunk advance the simulation according to the elapsed time.
