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...

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.

Posted Dec 23, 2013soo... 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?

I will look into the duping.
Java technically is open source... you can see the source easily.

Posted Jul 1, 2013This should be 1.6 compatible in theory. If you discover any issues with 1.6 (as soon as bukkit releases it) let me know.

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.

I will probably get around to it, yes. I'm still looking into a cleaner method to handle the entire planting system.

Posted May 27, 2013ok 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.
