ChestHarvester - turns chests into stationary farming equipment

Version: 1.3.5.1

Download: ChestHarvester.jar


Features:

  • chests can collect drops within a 1-block radius on the faces or from the top
  • clicking on a chest will farm the surrounding area, or in the direction the player is looking, if enabled
  • supports double-chests!
  • to minimize server strain, scans every 5 seconds & only allows farming every 2
  • (this can be changed with "AutoCollectScanInterval" and "ManualHarvestWaitInterval" in the config)
  • can be set to use a hoe to till new farmland
  • can harvest sugarcane, cactus, pumpkins, melons, and netherwart; not just farmland
  • can be disabled per-world
  • can also collect into storage minecarts
  • configurable collection range 1-3 (1 recommended)

Commands:

  • /chestharvester (ch) reload: reload configuration file (OP only)

Permissions:

  • ChestHarvester.harvest for a user to be able to click on a chest for it to harvest (can be disabled)

TODO:

  • iConomy support?
  • Autoharvest, so chests run automatically?
  • "special block" must be on to operate?
  • make player manually set a chest for it to collect items?
