Bukkit

I doubt many people still use this, however I am rewriting the plugin from scratch to include more features and severally reduce the length of code overall.

What can you expect from the rewrite already the plugin is very easy to update on my side for new biomes. However I am going to make it even easier, all you will need to do is add 1 line to the config file and the plugin will support a new biome or even a new type of plant.

Estimate on release date I am not sure I had a HardDrive fail and I lost a good chunk of my code I planned to release it today or tomorrow. So it might be 2 weeks or more depending on how much time I get to put into the plugin.

First of all I apologize for the late reply for whatever reason I am not getting alerts like I should when someone posts on this page.

You are correct I have no idea why its broken at this time as to my knowledge bukkit has not changed any API that effects the areas that I use.

Edit: Well I built it with the newest version and it is working for me now.

@user_126711

Probably not the bukkit plugin is not really on my priority with Spout/Vannila and Minecraft API coming out soon.

@The_Bias_P11

desiccation: 1

Change that to 0. 1 = on 0 = off.

The melon block/ pumpkin block can also fail it is just not effect by desiccation. The physical stalk is where all the nutrients moisture and things are being extracted from the soil so to me at least it does not make sense to have them desiccate.

I thought about this earlier with the plugin but I decided to let bonemeal not fail to give people in bad biomes a chance to counter the poor growing soil with a fertilizer. I would expect anyone who uses my plugin wants more difficulty on the server so I would expect them to disable auto mob farming with another plugin.

I believe in the philosophy of a lot of small plugins doing one specific job well I hate suite plguins that do a large amount of things. There are other plugins that do mobdrop modification please use them.

@Ajaxan

Thank you for alerting me to this bug this might have gone unnoticed for a while had you not reported it.

@Ajaxan

I did some minor testing with this version and it seemed to be fixed. Unfortunately I have a fairly lengthy college research paper due tomorrow so I will not be able to get back to you until tomorrow once I have it done.

look at the console you should only see numbers being printed that are below the failchance you set take a look and make sure they are all below it.

Ok fixed it.

Use this I screwed up when I attempted to add seasons in the 1.9 update and then removed it.

@Ajaxan

What biome did you set it for and what biome were you in?

Edit: testing it my self it seems you are correct wheat seems to be failing more then it should.

Edit Edit:

Ok found the issue when adding seasons and then removing it due to issues I screwed up the formatting of my file and broke stuff.

Because it takes curse a bit to approve files here is a temp link for a fixed version. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3nAe3-zoHtheUMtaG4zeW90Vjg

@Flutterwry

Well its less TC does it but more of its how does bukkit return it when I get the Biome of the plant. This is not hard to test and I already have a good guess how it works.

Also update on the update I am adding a feature I am calling desiccation. It will turn the dirt below the plant into sand and the plant into a dead bush. This might be released in a day or two. I will also add support for saplings.

I am also working on implementing hooking into seasons to allow you to set growing seasons.

I actually considered implementing something like this to craft and animals but I lost the will to put a lot of work into a plugin on bukkit when Mojang had been telling us the API is like a month away.

Once I get PF updated, I might start working and creating an AnimalFailure plugin.

@BeenCarl

It will as long as there is no custom biomes I am not sure how bukkit handles custom biomes. On my to do list is adding a way to add more biomes by a text file so all you will have to do is plug names in.
