CHDistantFarm
CHDistantFarm is a lightwight and highly optimized plugin that keeps your plants growing when you're away and the chunk is unloaded.
Features:
- Keeps ur plants growing, while the chunk is unloaded
- Supports all important plants
- Nether Warts
- Crops
- Melons
- Pumpkins
- Cactus
- Sugar Cane
- Saplings
- Uses the original minecraft algorithms
- Low level caching for maximum performance
- Auto unregistering of plants if they are fully grown or destroyed
Installation:
- Put the plugin in your plugins directory
- The plugin uses the database from your bukkit.yml (default is sqlite)
- Replant the blocks that you want to grow when the chunk is unloaded
- Edit the configuration file
Upcomming:
- PermissionsEx support
- Disable the features for a specific player
- Disable growing for a plant on a specific world
Known bugs:
- Growing does not work for the spawn area
- Thats a minor issue, because the spawn chunk is always loaded, and the game will grow your plants without the plugin

Tested your plugin today on my servers. We have 8 servers with 1600+ players on them, some of the servers have over 300 players online.
Your plugin works magically good. All the players simple loved it, but on the other hand we noticed a VERY high and serious increase on CPU load and server resources as well. This is pretty sad as your plugin is really great.
FYI: The main cause of lag is on ChunkLoadEvent and a TASK #30 event (NoLagg cannot identify what it is). We have all NoLagg reports if you want it.
Please try to optimize your plugin for big servers.
PM-me if you need more information / join my server.
Thank you.

Posted May 22, 2012That would be very resource demanding, because grass is not a real (by hand) plant(able) block. For grass support i would have to check every single block in a chunk in the chunk load event.

only plugins i think that would cause the issue would be essentials, no-lagg, core protect, and residence although i only use residence for server shops for player to purchase.

Yes, minecraft keeps the spawn area chunk(s) loaded. But as long as you are logged in, the plants in this chunk will grow normally without the plugin. They will only stop, if you log out.

Posted May 12, 2012It works great in CB 1.2.5-R1.3 too. Only if the chunk is near the spawn, you will get problems, but most likely, a lot of players will walk by, and your plants grow.

Posted May 12, 2012This is an awsome mod, thankyou very much! Added this to the server I play on, and life has become much better. Don't even have to be logged in for my wheet to be ready.
One question though, do you know of a mod like this for smelting? And if one does not would you consider making it?

Posted May 6, 2012Hey Zacherl, thank you so much for this plugin! It makes farming way better. I have one request, could you please add a value to the config value to slow or speed up growth rate? I've added the plugin to my sever which makes growing crops way more enjoyable, but my players have more food that I would like because of the growth rate. If you could add an option where you could tweak the growth-rate based on a percent, it would be perfect!
For instance, the default value could be 1.0, which would allow the crops to grow at the default rate. Adjusting the value to 0.5 would grow the crops at 50% their usual rate, while a 1.5 value would be 150% their normal rate. I know that this is likely more complicated than I'm making it out because of the growth algorithms used, but if the modifier could be used to multiply the default growth rates by the value, then it might just work.
I'm really hoping this could be done, thank you again for this great plugin (I can't believe MC doesn't work this way by default!)
[I will also add this comment to the Distant Farm thread just in case that's where you read comments!]

You can change the SQLite to MySQL in your bukkit.yml.
