Distant Farm
Are you tired of talking a walk away from home, and coming back noticing that nothing has grown at all? Is your house situated far from the populated areas where people rarely travel? Perhaps you knew that plants can only grow when there are players nearby?
Distant Farm keeps your plants growing while you're away using the same algorithms Minecraft uses. The plugin keeps track of plants and attempts to calculate their growth based on the time you've been absent. It uses very little memory and CPU, and doesn't require any commands or setup to work!
Credits to KeepGrowing for the base idea.
Current version: v0.2[Alpha]
Notes
- The code will be open-source once the project is near final release.
Features:
- Plants that keep growing with no players nearby:
- Crops
- Nether Warts
- Trees (All types)
- Melon
- Multi-world support
- Plants only grow while the server is online.
- Lightweight with minimal impact on server memory/CPU usage.
- Easy to use, no configuration needed.
Upcoming features:
- Plants to be added:
- Mushroom (brown/red)
- Sugar Cane
- Cactus
- Pumpkin
- Vines
- Permissions-support
- Allow only certain players to use the features.
- Ability to block the feature on specific worlds.
- Support to disable unwanted features to improve performance.
- Add the ability to register existing plants to the system (e.g. by right-clicking with a hoe)
Known issues:
- Plants destroyed by other sources than by hand aren't unregistered, they should unregister on growth-check though.

Yeah I made sure of that, replanted several times, and it didn't seem to work in a particular area, whereas in another area it did.

Assuming Thunder_Eye wrote his plugin anything like KeepGrowing, only crops planted after installing the plugin will have any effect. All wheat must be replanted.

Yes I just tested this. Placed a farm in a completely different location, came back to find them grown.

I would appear to be getting this issue only some of the time. In some areas. I haven't recognized a pattern yet.

Posted Dec 29, 2011I am seeing similar textures, mostly netherrack, but distant farms are not even affected by the plugin. I will go back hours later and still only have seeds.

Posted Dec 29, 2011Update on the texture glitch. It is happening far more frequently, sometimes to an entire stock of wheat. (which considering my farm takes about 15 minutes to harvest fully) this is becoming a problem. The glitched crops do not yield any wheat, only seeds. I've only seen the following textures: redstone, stone brick, mossy stone brick, levers, redstone torches, iron doors, and wood doors.
