When a hemp plant from the wild is sown it seems to accept being planted, but breaking the fully grown plant and replanting only allows growing the original again. The second piece of hemp refuses to be planted. Breaking the top half of the plant and attempting to plant it also does not work. The end result is that it takes a long time to get enough hemp for canvas.

Aside: It would be nice if there were separate items for hemp seeds and hemp plants.

Any hemp is plantable when I do it; do you plant them next to water?

I was under the impression they were planted like crops, not reed. The first block is indeed next to water (and tilled) while the rest are tilled and within 4 blocks of the water source. Is there a reason they grow like reed? It seems to me that hemp grows more like wheat, etc in real life.

It's true that hemp is planted like wheat in real life, but the hemp plant need tons of water to grow. That is why i decided to make it like reed, also because there were a lot of wheat like plants but only one reed type plant.
