I Figured Out Why Plants Won't Grow or Spread in Many Modpacks.

Calamites Sapplings vanish upon growth. #1429
This may also have to do with the linked bug report above.
What I am playing:
MC Eternal 1.4.4 (Forge 1.12)
Expected Behavior: F&AR Sapling grow into trees after being planted on grass. Ancient Ferns spread to surrounding blocks under cover of leaves.
Observed Behavior:
Saplings disappear once they reach their full growth stage. Ancient Ferns mature, but never spread.
Bug Identification:
After some testing I have figured out what I believe to be the issue. While you can place saplings and plants on any block that is a forge tagged dirt or grass block, the growing function in the mod checks specifically for Vanilla Minecraft dirt and grass. On all Biomes of Plenty dirt and grass variants, the observed Behavior would occur, but growth would happen as expected once swapped out for vanilla dirt/grass. I have not checked if this just occurs with BOP blocks, but since I assume this is some sort of growth check that checks for specific blocks instead of the ore dictionary equivalent, this should occur in all cases where you can plant your F&AR plant on non-vanilla blocks.
