this does seem to work for me, so it's probably not code related.

vinecontrol is dependend on worldedit and worldguard. if you don't install these vinecontrol will not be able to load, and therefor a config file will not be created.

if you already are using worldedit and worldguard there is probably something else preventing vinecontrol form being loaded, in this case there should be an error in your logs. so if the dependencies are not the problem, please provide me with the error so i can take a closer look.

Drag and drop .jar into my plugins folder and nothing happens. The .jar is there without the config file. I have already restarted the server on multiple occasions without out the file showing up. None of the commands work in game. Suggestions?

Had the plugin running for a bit now, so far so good! Also, fixed the stairs.

Thanks for the quick fix!

could that vine have grown there before you blacklisted the block?

edit: i just used the command "/vc global blacklist add" while looking at a stone brick stairs, in my config it shows up as "SMOOTH_STAIRS" so thats probably it :) this is pretty much the reason for why i made the command work by looking instead of typing a name

also i just fixed the other isseu, the file is up for aproval. thanks for the help :)

@firesofhades Appreciate the quick response. :D

Not sure if this is a bug so I figured I would ask.

Recently added these block types to the config:

blacklist: - GLASS - STONE_BRICK_STAIRS - COBBLESTONE_WALL - STAINED_GLASS_PANE

The vines still seem to be growing on the stone bricks above the window though.

thanks for the info, if it where to many vines to handle, the plugin wont skip vines, the server would lag instead. so its probably a bug.

lemme look into it :)

p.s.: only 10 minutes of vine watching pfff :P lets just say im glad i can use bonemeal to do my testing :P

No performance issues here! It just won't trim everything. I have sat and watched the vines grow for about 10 minutes. (Sounds like I have no life, I know. :P)

Some of the vines get cut automatically but most just continue to grow, as if it can't keep up with all of the growing vines.

Here is my config: global: vinecontrol_enabled: true bonemeal_enabled: true above_ground: true min_length: 1 max_length: 10 max_cut: 9 growthrate: 25 blacklist: - GLASS

I lowered the growth rate because the vines were taking over my village. The plugin just wasn't cutting them fast enough.

The server naturally generates with floating islands so there has to be hundreds of thousands of vines. Could there just be too many?

im not quite sure what you mean with "plugin can't keep up" are you saying the plugin makes your server lag when that area is loaded? or does it look like the plugin trims some vines but not others?

if lag is the problem i will take a look at the performance, but:

i don't think there are that much more vines under your island then there would be in swamps or jungles.
even with lag vines should get trimmed.

so even if there is a performance issue, there is something else going on as well. a performance issue wouldn't cause vines to not be trimmed,so could it be the other way around? the "something else thats going on" causes behaviour that looks like a performance issue.

now that would be possible in a couple of scenario's. but i need a bit more info before im sure which scenario is at work here. would you mind posting your config.yml and give a description of the way the performance issue expresses itself?

Plugin can't keep up with a large amount of vines and I still have to trim them all myself.

It doesn't seem to work properly.

The vine you put down doesn't grow unless bonemeal is used when growthrate is set to 0.

However, the vine still spreads to nearby blocks, and those vines grow down :(? Is it possible to stop vines from spreading as well as growing?

the "global" part tells vinecontrol you want to change the settings globally, therefor it doesn't neet the world name or region id, it gives you an error because it doesn't know what to do with the extra parameters.

you can stop vinegrowth globally with:

/vinecontrol global growthrate 0

if you want to change a setting for a region you would use it like this:

/vinecontrol region growthrate 0 Hub tree

i hope this helps :)

p.s: the global setting affects all worlds if you want to stop vinegrowth only in the world: hub, the use:

/vinecontrol world growthrate 0 Hub

Hey, my world name is "Hub" and I want my vines to not grow at all globally also, my region name/id is "tree". I was wondering why the following command doesn't work -

/vinecontrol global growthrate 1 Hub tree

Is there any way to remove the vine limit? It's the growth with bonemeal feature that I need the most.

this plugin will be triggered if a vine grows. this means that if your vines are already on the ground when you install the plugin, they won't trigger its code because no vine will ever grow.

you will have to cut all the vines yourself the first time. after that, the plugin will pick up.

Your plugin floods the console with Pick interact event & Check 1.

It spams it so much you cannot even see anyone talking, any commands, nothing its just completely flooding the console.
