wheat appears to have broken on mcpc-plus 1.5.1 anyway , it appears to be harvesting but the wheat stays as full grown wheat :)
add carrots potatoes and cocobeans to the farming lists?
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Hopper Head's up. I was going to install your plugin. However hoppers look like they may have similar functionality :/
please add an option that chestes didn't loot some items, that can be set in the config, cause i get some errors with mobcatcher because the eggs from mobcatcher saves information for each item, and if chestes try to pick it up, chestharvester crashes
thank you.
@jascotty2
Maybe an easier interim idea would be a config option for making chests harvest only if they Contain a XXX block
so you could set that you have to put a xxx block in the chest to "power" it.
@MattSheridan
at the moment, yes...
will have to look into some alternate search routine that could efficiently set chests to run like that..
consider it on the top of my todo list :)
Does this just effect all chests? I'd love it if you had to build some kind of simple machina, like a chest on top of a gold block or something. I'm all about giving my players cool stuff at a high cost.
i suppose i should post here as well:
with version 1.3.4: (9/13/12)
added netherwart to harvested items
added option for storage chests to dump their contents into a chest
added option for harvesting to be activated by redstone
- also added overload setting, to discourage redstone clocks
- default is wait - if activated by redstone more than twice within the wait period, will not harvest again until pulse stops for 10 times the wait time
- also can optionally cause the chest to explode ;)
fixed items sometimes not being added to chests
fixed chests changing potions into water bottles
fixed items loosing enchantments
getting duplication problems, if a player puts a potion in the chest then throws water bottles near it, when it harvests them they become the potion in the chest. This also duplicates enchants in the same manner.
Ok I got it to work.
SUGGESTION
------When activated with Redstone, it harvests the crops.
Uh, it only harvest 1 block infront of it.
Does this work with minecarts with chests?
hi, is it possible to make an option for scan only what is contained in the chest (like itemscanner) or can i have the source code thanx : )
is there an eta for 1.2.4? I love this idea!
I would like to congratulate you on 2000 downloads! (Well, almost…)
This is a good plugin :)
When I put a Enchanted Sword in a chest,and throw Normal sword near chest, It becomes 2 Enchanted Sword...
So,I Don't want to Use "AutoStack" but "AutoStack: false" is not work for me Am i doing wrong settings? or not work on 1.2.4 server?
@jascotty2
it says you can use minecart chests too pick up. will they automatically get the crops (as a block not as a drop) then pick them up?
its not very clear on here lol
Oooh... been looking for something like this since Minecart Mania... ;)
i don't normally comment here, but i will now to let you all know i finally figured out the pesky change that i was having an issue with when updating this .. the way bukkit handles chests is 'smarter' now, so i had to fumble around with my code for a while before i realized it wasn't me, it was bukkit changes that broke it (double chests were getting deleted)
so: without further adieu: i finally have it ready for your updated servers :)
also: please use the ticket system instead of the comments here to report a bug, thanks ;)
Hey there, i was just wondering if we will see an update for 1.1 R6? i really like this and players love using it on my server Thanks in advance Great work!
