Super Seeds
Super Seeds lets you seed different plants using chests.
Simply put your different crops in the chest and place a redstone torch under it. Everytimes the redstone torch turns on, seeds in the chest will be distributed on land around the chest that meets requirements and is empty.
It can automatically plant:
- Wheat
- Carrots
- Potatoes
- Sugar Canes
- Cactus
- Nether Warts
- Melon
- Pumpkins
- It respects the fact that cactus need one block space between them.
- It respects the fact that sugar canes grow on sand with water beside it.
- It respects the fact nether wart can only grow on soul sand.
- It respects the fact crops, carrot, potatoes can only be seeded on farmland
- It can create patterns of different plants on your grounds. Put 8 crops, then 8 potatoes, then 8 carrots, then 8 crops in your chest, and run it, you'll get 4 lines of different plants...
Howto
The image is self explanatory, but to explain it shortly:
- Place a redstone torch under a chest
- Place farmland, sand or soulsand (or the three of them same time), depending on what you want to seed, around the chest.
- Place your seeds in the chest.
- Toggle the redstone torch off/on
- Taadaaaaa!

Q: Is this plugin dangerous?
A: Bud, it's running on my server, it did not yet destroy anything and it surely won't. But of course, I cannot be held responsible if it damages any area on your server.
Configurations
Commands
Thanks to Metrics, I can see that a very few servers are still running on Java 6. Be aware that allow/deny commands use Java 7 String switches, that were not supported on Java 6...
What is to come?

Hi! Thank you for your review! Save me the time to make it:) Hey, i'll include it in the description, but could you also show support of bone meal in chest and multi layer farms?
About pumpkins and melon, actually, if I check too much the plugin looses efficiency... The best is to do it this way, in my opinion:
Where:
The plugin will plant pumpkin or melons on the farmland blocks, they will grow oppsite sides, next to the water.
Adding more controls to it, such as:
Plant only if nexts blocks are empty will decrease efficiency not to say that the rods all connect to the melon/pumpkin then.
Adding a control such as:
Plant only if two nexts blocks are empty, will decrease efficiency as well and plant less crops :)
hey i made a video for this plugin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnS_HNix__g&feature=youtube_gdata
@smed2696
Yeah, the thing is what kind of permissions... Checking who powered the chest? Don't think you can. The only solution would be adding a command to set the chest as allowed chest in Super Seeds, and put permissions on that command then...
Will there be some sort of permissions added so its customisable what groups can use what?
@martcor
HI!
1.2.0 containing configs is awaiting approval...
About drop chest, no need for that anymore, the redstone update for minecraft will bring auto chests filling with carts.
im going to try this :) you know the plugin Dropchest? the combinations will be awesome making an automatic farm

Hi!
The new version, 1.2.0, is customisable, you'll be able to set the size in the config file. Should be online by tomorrow or even in a couple of hours, stay tuned.
About versions, it's been tried on 1.4.7-R1.0, but should be fine on 1.4.6 as well, but I didn't try it though...
I like this a lot, can i ask you 2 questions?
1) can you make it work with more than 9x9?
2) what version for 1.4.6r0.3?
ty a lot!
