Been messing around with this and I like it, but I do have two questions.
I put a hoe in the chest and then clicked it, in the hopes it would do some hoeing, but nothing, Could you expand on how the hoe works.
Same goes for the storage minecart. I had one circling a small test area and it wasn't harvesting. (it was on a power-railed loop)
And lastly, is there any plans to add pumpkin and watermelon to the harvestable list or is that impossible cause they require multiple block hits?

P.S. I vote for run chests on redstone in your TODO list.
Plz make this chat based configurated for each chest ( enabled/disabled, range, ...) the formula for calculating a distance between (x, y, z) and (x, y, z) is: math.sqrt(((math.abs(x-x)^2)+(math.abs(y-y)^2))+(math.abs(z-z)^2)), maybe i forgot something anywhere. And furnace, dispenser, storageminecart support!
Wow Looks good I will use after my server is done with our adventure map! looks great!
