Dispenser Planter
Information
Recently Minecraft added a ton of uses for the Dispenser, but they forgot one crucial aspect; planting with dispensers. It's something that should have been added! I consider Minecraft dispensers broken for this reason, so I have created a fix.
A tree farm before...
A farm before...
And now, the fix...

does it also work with cocoa seeds?
It would be handy to that bonemeal works with it
@IAMCecilMan
It doesn't quite work as expected with Bukkit 1.7.2 (build #3022).
Tested with a continuous clock setup as well as a single trigger (button).
It plants correctly whatever is in the dispenser, then keeps the last two items and continues to plant more, effectively duping them, up until it reaches the maximum distance or there's no further tilled soil, then spits out the remaining two items (or more if there are any).
It acts even the same way with just the two (or even one single) item in the dispenser, effectively using up no item at all, for the whole distance it's configured for.
So if you want to keep your in-game resources legit, I don't recommend to use it.
Someone please update this, fix the duping issue (prevent it from keeping <=2 items in the dispenser while there's tilled soil available), and implement mechanics that check if there's at least one planted item along the configured distance and consequently prevent spitting out any plantable items under any circumstances.
Please make Dispenser plant the seeds while they are facing up or down
soo... nothing for 1.7 then? I haven't tried this with 1.7 yet but a lot was changed, so one would assume this may no longer work. Any one who has had experience with this plugin since Bukkit's major update?
is there any way to allow this to also breed animals?
@SimSonic
I will look into the duping.
Java technically is open source... you can see the source easily.
Yes, dupes items. Please find the problem =\ Beautiful plugin! Please do not make it more complicated :)
Why not to do it open source?
This should be 1.6 compatible in theory. If you discover any issues with 1.6 (as soon as bukkit releases it) let me know.
@funcolandgotgeeks
I am glad to hear that, thanks.
@Nik0lashka
I'll fix it soon, have been busy digging into CPP(C Plus Plus) and haven't given updates much time.
My server loves this plugin !!!

@ngAlan
Well, it's not a big deal though) Thank you for a cool plugin!
@Nik0lashka
I've noticed that myself on occasion. I haven't really found out what causes it to do that. I'll look into it more.
Why seeds don't decrement in the dispenser? (The last one)
@RedNeay
I will probably get around to it, yes. I'm still looking into a cleaner method to handle the entire planting system.
Hi, It's a nice plugin, very useful. However cocoa bean can't be plant. Is it possible to add it?
Thanks
@PAntrack
Permissions are just not possible with my implementation, sorry. Glad to see you're enjoying it.
Very good plugin! I hope soon to add permissions :)

I've added pictures for how it plants, check the main page.
ok i am looking forward to the an extended explanation, as i have worked with machinaplanter for a year, and it is working fine. I also know how to plant seed etc, but this dispenser is thowing the seed on the surface even if soiled.
