Talk:Plantera's Bulb

Does it spawn randomly anywhere there's jungle grass, overwritting preexisting vegetation? Or do you need to keep weeding out these plants to make room for the bulb?

I have found that you need to keep weeding. One can increase the chances for bulbs by making long horizontal 4-high shafts, and periodically checking and weeding. 24.246.152.183 22:06, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Plantera's Bulb overwrites jungle grass, jungle tall grass, jungle plants, and Life Fruit. There is no need to weed. Information taken from source code. --Neojin (talk) 16:30, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

The article seems to imply that bulb marks appear on the minimap automatically, without the player having to actually re-discover them. Is this correct? --185.13.136.7 16:37, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That's correct, at least as fas as I can remember my last play session, which was two months ago.--DoubleFloat (talk) 17:25, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Has anyone found a workaround for the bug that causes a plantera bulb to not spawn on some worlds? (Apart from making an entirely new world of course) Audiophillie (talk) 17:01, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I had an issue with a particular world that I was only playing in singleplayer. For some reason tile dynamics got stuck. Water didn't flow during the game (it was only settled as part of the world loading process), grass didn't spread. Corruption and hallow probably also didn't. I defeated all the necessary bosses and waited for a few days, but plantera's bulb didn't spawn. Then I tried loading this world with a dedicated server, force-settling the liquids, and exiting. That fixed all of the above and the first bulb appeared almost immediately. --Nandorianen (talk) 06:32, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

I found a bug; Using the Clentaminator in the jungle and converting the blocks underneath the bulb to Mushroom Grass causes the Plantera to spawn without destroying the bulb, but the bulb afterwards will not spawn Plantera again if broken.

Plantera killed in world where 2 mech bosses were not ?
I just killed (no idea how I did it but I got the scare of my life) Plantera in a world that I am very much certain only had the Destroyer beat. I even had the twins pop up just after Plantera and I wasn't able to get the to half their health before they got me. Is this because the world is old (I have no idea when I created it, been copy/pasta-ed a lot) or it's a bug that everyone is aware of except me ?
 * Properly an older world. Before the 1.2.3 update those bulbs did spawn having only 1 mech boss defeated, so those would properly still be around if you have an older world. --0icke0 (talk) 23:59, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
