I have encountered something weird. I grow quality crops 12 separated in 3x3 squares, and noticed that down the far side west side, ever crop was growing slower. I figured this may have been due to the beehive not hitting the squares, but they seem to show clearly within the beehives circle with Ender's Client.
I moved my beehive and planted some new crops, so we will see if that changes anything.
Does anyone know any other reason this may have happened?
