blocking requirements for 20' tall 2x6 stud wall
(OP)
I'm having trouble finding info about the blocking for a 20' tall 2x6 wall. Obviously, I don't want the studs to run 20' without any blocking inbetween them. Everyone I've talked to seems to think blocking at mid-height is sufficient, but I can't find anything in a text or code about it. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Look at the finish system and make sure you don't exceed the allowed defection. If straight walls are desired, consider Timberstrand or finger joint studs from Trus Joist or GP (straight 20' – 2x6 will be hard to get). The 20' tall walls I designed were eight inches thick

At 20' I would have concerns about strong axis bending for for out of plane wind loads.

I don't see any vertical 10 foot requirement for fire blocking.
