Default Config.yml

---

General Settings

language_code

default: en-US

Language setting for the user plugin messages. The language files are located in your server's "plugins" directory: plugins/RealisticPlantGrowth/local

Upon the first plugin start, all supported languages for your version should be available in this directory. If you wish to change the language, you'll need to identify and select the .yml file with the desired language. You also have the option to create your own language files and use them.

In cases where specific translations are missing, the default strings from the default language (en-US) will be automatically selected.

---

plugin_prefix

default: '[RealisticPlantGrowth] '

Plugin prefix for console logs. Does not affect chat messages. You can customize the prefix using MiniMessage format and legacy &-color codes. For details, refer to: MiniMessage Format

enabled_worlds

default:

• your_world

• your_world_nether

• your_world_the_end

List of worlds where this plugin is active. To customize, modify this list to include your desired worlds. Any worlds not listed here will use the default growth behavior.

---

bonemeal_limit

default: 3

Limits the use of bonemeal on plants to the specified amount. Setting 'bonemeal_limit: 0' completely disables the use of bone meal. Negative numbers deactivate this feature (e.g., 'bonemeal_limit: -1').

bonemeal_limit not implemented yet.

---

min_natural_light

default: 15

Required natural sky light level for plant growth.

SkyLightLevel	Description
0	Allows underground plant growth.
12	corresponds to sunlight filtered through leaves.
15	plants only grow in direct sunlight. (Allows glass ceilings.)

---

destroy_farmland

default: true

When a player harvests a plant that has grown on farmland, the farmland is automatically replaced with a coarse dirt block. Consequently, the player is required to re-hoe the area to prepare it for seeding new plants. Setting 'destroy_farmland' to 'true' enables this feature.

---

require_hoe

default: true

Determines whether a player requires a hoe to harvest plants. If set to true, players must use a hoe for harvesting. When require_hoe is set to true, harvesting plants without a hoe will yield no drops. \

Additionally, enabling this setting prevents drops from agricultural plants destroyed by flowing water and pistons.

---

display_growth_rates

default: true

Displays potential growth rates for an item in hand when a player left-clicks the ground. Only shows growth rates for the biome the player is currently in.

---

display_cooldown

default: 5

Only active, if display_growth_rates is enabled. Time in seconds before the growth rates are shown to the player again. Prevents spam clicking and therefore heavy area scans.

---

use_metrics

default: true

When this configuration setting is set to true, your plugin will anonymously contribute usage data to bStats. bStats is a service that assists plugin developers in understanding how their creations are utilized in the wider community.

This anonymized information is invaluable for enhancing and optimizing plugins based on real-world usage patterns. For additional details, please visit the bStats page of Realistic Plant Growth.

---

check_for_updates

default: true

Set this option to true to enable automatic update checks when the server starts. Setting it to false will disable update checking.

---

Composter Settings

Configuration options for customizing composter behavior and functionality in the game.

---

disable_bonemeal_output

default: false

If enabled, composters will no longer produce bonemeal as an output. This effectively disables bonemeal farming using hopper-fed composters or manual composting. When disable_bonemeal_output is set to true, composters will accept input but will never yield bonemeal.

---

quick_fill_with_shift

default: false

If enabled, allows players to rapidly fill composters by holding Shift and right-clicking with compostable items. Speeds up manual composting for convenience, especially during bulk operations. The exact number of items consumed is determined using vanilla composting chance calculations.

---

allow_bonemeal_as_input

default: false

If enabled, allows bonemeal to be inserted into composters by players or hoppers. Each bonemeal used increases the compost level by 1 with a 100% success rate.

---

Fertilizer

Fertilizer enables Composters to fertilize crops in the surrounding area, allowing for growth in normally uninhabitable areas.

---

fertilizer_enabled

default: false

Enables the use of composters to fertilize crops in the surrounding area.

---

fertilizer_radius

default: 8

Plants within this block radius will grow at the fertilizer_growth_rate (see below). Higher values may increase server resource consumption and cause lag (Maximum 15 blocks).

---

fertilizer_passiv

default: false

true: Fertilizer effects do not deplete composters to fertilize the surroundings. false: Players must actively fill the composter to achieve fertilization effects.

---

fertilizer_boost_growth_rate

default: 20.0

The fertilizer_boost_growth_rate is an additive value applied to the percentage-based biome-specific growth rate when a composter is within the configured fertilizer_radius. \

For instance, if the biome-specific growth rate for wheat in a desert is 25.0%, setting fertilizer_boost_growth_rate to 20.0% will result in a boosted growth rate of 45.0% for wheat plants.

---

fertilizer_allow_growth_rate_above_100

default: false

Allows a growth rate above 100.0%. If a plant has a biome-specific growth rate of 100.0% and this is set to be true, the resulting growth rate can exceed 100.0% (e.g., 125.0%). Otherwise, the growth rate is capped at 100.0%.

fertilizer_allow_growth_rate_above_100 not implemented yet.

---

fertilizer_enables_growth_in_invalid_biomes

default: false

If set to true, Fertilizer allows plants to thrive in invalid biomes. If set to false, plant growth is limited to biomes explicitly listed in Biome: [] section within GrowthModifiers.yml.

---

fertilizer_invalid_biome_growth_rate

default: 35.0

Growth rate of plants in invalid biomes with fertilizer access. Only active if fertilizer_enables_growth_in_invalid_biomes is set to true, and the plant is in an invalid biome.

---

fertilizer_invalid_biome_death_chance

default: 25.0

Probability of plant death in an invalid biome despite fertilizer supply. This rule is effective only when fertilizer_enables_growth_in_invalid_biomes is set to true and the plant is located in an inappropriate biome.

If the Growth process of the plant consists of multiple growth stages, the death rate is internally adjusted by dividing it by the number of growth stages.

---

UV-Light

Artificial light source that allows plants within its radius to grow where the sky light level is lower than the min_natural_light value. This allows the cultivation of plants underground or in buildings without direct sky light access.

Note: Plants still require the minimal vanilla light level to grow.

---

uv_enabled

default: false

Enable the use of UV-Light Blocks.

---

uv_blocks

default:

• OCHRE_FROGLIGHT

• PEARLESCENT_FROGLIGHT

• VERDANT_FROGLIGHT

List of blocks that can function as UV-Light sources. Use the official MATERIAL_NAMES to add items to this list.

Hint: uv_blocks don't need to emit light, but when they do, you don't require an additional light source.

---

require_all_uv_blocks

default: true

Determines whether a plant requires all UV-Light Blocks listed above to grow.

• true: All blocks in uv_blocks are necessary for plant growth.

• false: Only one of the blocks listed in uv_blocks is required for plant growth.

---

uv_radius

default: 5

Radius around a UV-Light block that affects growth. Higher values consume more server resources and may lead to server lag. (Maximum 15 blocks) Use the official MATERIAL_NAMES to add items to this list.

grow_in_dark

default:

• RED_MUSHROOM

• BROWN_MUSHROOM

• NETHER_WART

• COCOA

List of plants that grow without requiring natural sky light, allowing growth in artificial light sources like torches and lanterns (not the same as UV-Light). Use the official MATERIAL_NAMES to add items to this list.

---
