Plants Require Light
James Moore
In game terms, for plants to grow they should require there be no blocks above them. This would stop unrealistic underground farms, or vertical tower farms.
With this consideration, players would give more attention to land use.
Possible grow lights could be introduced late in the tech tree for indoor growing at the cost of electricity.

Doesn't having too many plantes in the same vertical plot already causes issues with overcorwding ?
Also, I like your idea a lot as it could also imply that some plants (I'm thinking about mushrooms in particular) could have lower lighting requierments (if any). Which would add further depth to the farming systems.
