Special Thanks to Dilla and Corver for converting these in my absence. I want to appologize to the community for being gone for so long. A lot of things came up, and I had to shift my priorities. 9.2 is simply the combined version that Corver put together. I will still continue developing the new features that we have planned, like vines and seaweed. Again thank you so much. And to everyone else, I have not abandoned this mod, and will once again continue development of it.

Information
This mod creates a tall grass block that grows on top of existing grass blocks.
Once a tall grass block has grown, it will start spreading to nearby blocks, growing taller as it does.
This really softens up the harsh edges of grassy hills and even thought it is a simple mod, it really enhances the feel of the game a lot. It gives it an almost low graphic "Oblivion" type of environment feel.
When the game is first loaded, grass will pop up very frequently. This should only last a few minutes. This was so that I did not have to modify the chunk loader. ______________________
Features Non-Invasive: will not destroy save files after unloading.
This mod, and all updates, are designed to not have any new blocks, in order to keep your saves safe. All changes are purely graphical, or add new elements to existing blocks.
Growing Grass: grass will spread and grow taller
Biome Compatible: Grass is color adjusted for biomes, and should be compatible with most biome mods.
Hoes can harvest grass, making it shorter until it is soil. Happy Mowing.
Flowers become lily pads when placed in water!
Uses a custom texture file for all textures, no need to mess with the terrain.png
