How fast do bamboo shoots grow? I have an idea for an automatic farm, but to make it as effective as possible, the growth speed would be really useful, especially if it has different growth speeds at different heights. R3DSkyCChamp (talk) 17:20, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
Even if this section means infinitely, (thereby excluding things like sheep shearing dispensers which need occasional reloading), what about coal from wither skeleton grinders or sticks from witch grinders? Cultist O (talk) 20:19, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi there.
I've been tryin' to snatch from the water some bamboo while fishing in jungles since the grown up spots of are not yet available until Village & Pillage patch. So from that way I'm attempting to farm some bamboo. I have an underground orchard; just beneath a pool with crystal floor and inside the pool another orchard isle-like. So that underground orchard where I often plant some mushrooms, so it's dark down there, but also there is enough space to plant some bamboo as I guess that there could be a nice place for planting it.
Resembling real life bamboo, I did read that is better to grow with not too much light nor too much shade. I don't know how much light level should have Minecraft bamboo's growing but I suppose that a fairly level could be 7-8, without affecting the nearby mushrooms, perhaps.

In the Nether, it needs light level 10 to grow Excellence 04:47, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
The table listing breaking times in Bamboo#Obtaining seems to be mostly incorrect. I can confirm that swords break bamboo blocks and saplings instantly (and take 2 durability damage), but each tier of axe has a different breaking time, and breaking with any other tool or an empty hand takes less than the listed 3 seconds. In addition, no tools (except swords) speed up the breaking of a sapling. βSonicwave talk 01:10, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
Re: Comment from Amatulic on revert of explanation that bamboo can grow at night. Addressing the comment "Sky light level is not "bright" at night." While counter intuitive, this is not true. Per the description of sky light in in Light: " Sky light is not reduced at night; rather, the spawning of mobs is determined by internal light values." You can also see this in the F3 Debug screen. Bamboo's night growth behavior can be verified experimentally by:
You'll see that the bamboo with open view of the sky continues to grow while the bamboo sufficiently covered by the slabs to reduce it's sky light level below 9 does not grow.
I found this surprising so I dug into the source code and confirmed that bamboo was only checking sky and block light for growth.

Is there some way to know when a bamboo has stopped growing?
(like a texture change, like how wheat turns yellow)
(alternatively, is there some texture-pack or something that can be used to show this?)
Thanks!

More info about how a bamboo is determined positioning (as we may notice when manually farming them)
I noticed that in the game, bamboo has four different textures, but after searching through the Wiki, I was only able to find a render of the first one. I rendered the remaining three and would like to upload them, but they don't seem to have official names in the game. The only one that has a render is called Leafless Bamboo JE1 BE2.png. Each of the four has its own JSON model, but the files are just named bamboo1, bamboo2, bamboo3, and bamboo4, which obviously isn't a very helpful naming scheme. How should these be named?
