FarmControl

FarmControl limits plant growth (Wheat, Melons, Reeds, Cactus, Pumpkins, Carrots, Potatoes, and Netherwart) to specific biomes, encouraging travel and trade and reducing the ability to live as an entirely self sufficient hermit.

Features

All crops can always be placed by players, they simply won't grow outside of their biomes
Desired biomes are configurable on a per crop basis
Biomes where crops should grow slowly can be set
Default config insists melons are grown in wet biomes, sugar cane is grown in hot/humid biomes, cactus needs dry hot areas, and netherwart will only grow in the nether and deserts.
If you want to make a crop more rare, or make Netherwart not growable in overworld at all, simply edit the config
Default biomes:

Biome	Wheat	Melon	Reeds	NetherWart	Cactus	Pumpkin	Potato	Carrot
BEACH	Y	Y	Y		Y	Y		Y
DESERT	S	S	Y	S	Y	S		S

@Firebastard: Go

You are correct, I don't have any reasonable means to determine ownership of a farm plot. Additionally, any code put into the "check if the block should grow" hook will be called on _all_ growable blocks, including natural ones, so it needs to stay efficient. Benchmarking suggests my current approach is pretty fast.

@slimedog007: Go

That sounds like it is probably not very easy to do. It's highly unlikely that this plugin tracks who places specific blocks in the first place.

Would it be possible to make a permission node to negate all of the effects of this plugin? I want to give my farming class a bigger advantage over anyone who isn't. :)

Would you be adding cocoa beans to farmcontrol ? My cocoa beans plantation grows like its on steroids and I need to slow it down inline with the other crops.

Did you consider the designation of areas for the cultivation of not using biomes but directly on the temperature and humidity? Configuration would be more elegant and versatile.

Config file is poorly developed. Its design reduces the possibility of different growth rates in different biomes. For example, should look to solve this problem:

biome: PLAINS wheat 0.5 sugar_cane 0.8 biome: FOREST wheat 0.3 sugar_cane 0.6 carrot 0.5

etc

@Captain-Dingo: Go Not that theres much wrong with your approach, but sure, thats a simple enough way to have two tiers of speed. I put it in v1.2.

Could you add a parameter to alter the growth rate of all crops by a multiplier, and not just slow crops?

What I did was put one of the "unused" biomes into the default slots of all crops, put every other biome into the "slow" slot, and set the overall crop growth rate that way but it's kind of hacky.

I'd really love to see this be taken up as well
