i have red a lot of post saying that you don't enough seeds from the grass well i have a way to get a seed from every grass,
when harvesting grass if you do not get a seed just replant it sometimes it takes 3 or 4 goes but you do get a seed, and every so often you need to replant a grass a lot more times, but its not that much trouble if you want the seeds, so stop complaing about it and work it out like i did.

Seems that the correct solution then would be for grass to set a bit of metadata on place that can be checked for when dug. If such a flag is present, that grass would be treated as though it has no seeds.

i don't know about that, but i was just saying how to get more seeds, as people were complaining about not getting enough seeds. i like the grass the way it is.

I've never read anything about people not receiving enough seeds. Either way I set it up so there are a whole lot of grass everywhere and digging at grass would give me a 10% chance of getting a seed, the rest of the 90% I get nothing.

See http://wiki.minetest.net/Grass

The probability to get wheat seed from grass is 20%. The probability to get grass from grass is 80%. The probability to get nothing is 0%, Gambit.
I gathered the data from the source code of the farming mod.

The replanting trick works well because the probability that you still have no wheat seed after 5 consecutive digs is (20%)^5 = 0.032%.

No, I'm saying I adjust it that way.
