AreaPlanter

Plant crops in a configurable area with a single right-click!

AreaPlanter is a Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugin that enhances the farming experience in Minecraft by allowing players to plant crops in a specified area with a single right-click. No more tedious block-by-block planting!

Example of Planting with radius set to 5:

Features

• Area Planting: Right-click on farmland with seeds to plant crops in a configurable area around the clicked block.
• Customizable Radius: Server admins can easily adjust the planting radius by editing the config.yml file.
• Seed Efficiency: The plugin consumes only the necessary number of seeds based on the actual planting area and available farmland.
• Vanilla Seed Support: Supports all vanilla Minecraft seeds that can be planted on farmland.
• Prioritized Seed Consumption: Seeds are consumed from the player's inventory first, preserving the stack in their hand whenever possible.

Installation

1. Download: Download the latest AreaPlanter.jar file from the releases page.
2. Install: Place the AreaPlanter.jar file into your server's plugins folder.
3. Start/Reload: Start or reload your server to enable the plugin.
4. Configure:  Adjust the planting radius and seed consumption behavior in the generated config.yml file within the plugins/AreaPlanter folder.

Configuration

The config.yml file in the plugins/AreaPlanter folder allows you to customize the plugin's behavior:

• planting-radius:  Sets the default planting radius (default: 3). Make sure to use an odd number to ensure a central planting block.
• consume-from-inventory-first: Enables or disables prioritizing seed consumption from the inventory (default: true).

How it Works

1. Right-Click: When a player right-clicks on farmland with seeds in their hand, the plugin checks the surrounding area based on the configured radius.
2. Planting: If there's enough farmland and seeds available, the plugin plants crops around the clicked block.
3. Seed Consumption:
   • If consume-from-inventory-first is enabled, the plugin will first attempt to consume seeds from the player's inventory, leaving the stack in their hand intact if possible.
   • Otherwise, it will consume seeds directly from the player's hand.
