## Plant Configuration<\/p>\n
### Example<\/p>\n
#### Biome Group Section<\/p>\n
> biome-group-list:
\n> TestGroup:
\n> – “PLAINS”
\n> – “SAVANNA”
\n> second-group:
\n> – “FOREST” <\/p>\n
Two biome groups are created, “TestGroup” and “second-group”. “TestGroup” contains the biomes “PLAINS” and “SAVANNA”, and “second-group” contains the biome “FOREST”. Click here for the list of biomes.<\/p>\n
#### Plant Section<\/p>\n

Oak saplings have poor mechanics normally, but in the biome group “second-group” they have an overall growth rate of 100. In the biome group “TestGroup”, they can’t be placed, ruling out its biomes.<\/p>\n
### Can Place<\/p>\n
> can-place: true\/false<\/p>\n
Can the plant be placed?<\/p>\n
### Growth Rate<\/p>\n
> growth-rate: #<\/p>\n
A value of 100 is the vanilla growth rate. A value of 50 would make each progression to the next maturation stage a coin flip. This plugin cannot make plants grow faster.<\/p>\n
### Growth Rate Dark<\/p>\n
> growth-rate-dark: #<\/p>\n
Similar to growth-rate, but applies to plants in light levels under 8.<\/p>\n
### Death Rate<\/p>\n
> death-rate: #<\/p>\n
A value of 100 would make the plant disappear whenever it tries to progress to the next maturation stage. A value of 5 would make the plant disappear 1 in 20 growth attempts.<\/p>\n
### Death Rate Dark<\/p>\n
> death-rate-dark: #<\/p>\n
Similar to death-rate, but applies to plants in light levels under 8.<\/p>\n
### Bone Meal Success Rate<\/p>\n
> bone-meal-success-rate: #<\/p>\n
A value of 100 would make the plant try to grow whenever bone meal is used on it. A value of 50 would make the plant try to grow half the time.<\/p>\n
### Bone Meal Success Rate Dark<\/p>\n
> bone-meal-success-rate-dark: #<\/p>\n
Similar to bone-meal-success-rate, but applies to plants in light levels under 8.<\/p>\n
### Hoe-Reliant Drops<\/p>\n
> needs-hoe-for-drops: true\/false<\/p>\n
If true, the plant will only drop its items when broken with a hoe.<\/p>\n
### Hoe-Reliant Farmland Retaining<\/p>\n
> needs-hoe-for-farmland-retain: true\/false<\/p>\n
If true, the Farmland the Farmland-related plant is broken on will turn into Dirt if not broken with a hoe.<\/p>\n
### Minimum Light<\/p>\n
> min-light: #<\/p>\n
The minimum light level allowed for plant placement, plant growth, and plant bone meal-ing.<\/p>\n
### Maximum Light<\/p>\n
> max-light: #<\/p>\n
The maximum light level allowed for plant placement, plant growth, and plant bone meal-ing.<\/p>\n
### Needs Sky<\/p>\n
> needs-sky: true\/false<\/p>\n
If true, the plant can only be placed, grown, and bone meal-ed if there are no blocks above it.<\/p>\n
### Transparent Blocks Count as Sky<\/p>\n
> transparent-blocks-count-as-sky: true\/false<\/p>\n
If true, blocks that let light pass through them will not be checked when a needs-sky plant checks for blocks above it.<\/p>\n
### No Sky Growth Rate<\/p>\n
> no-sky-growth-rate: #<\/p>\n
Similar to growth-rate, but applies to plants with no sky above them. Does not replace any other growth rate, instead adds another chance for the plant to not grow.<\/p>\n
### No Sky Death Rate<\/p>\n
> no-sky-death-rate: #<\/p>\n
Similar to death-rate, but applies to plants with no sky above them. Does not replace any other death rate, instead adds another chance for the plant to die.<\/p>\n
### Minimum Y<\/p>\n
> min-y: #<\/p>\n
The minimum y-level allowed for plant placement.<\/p>\n
### Maximum Y<\/p>\n
> max-y: #<\/p>\n
The maximum y-level allowed for plant placement.<\/p>\n
### Restrict to Worlds<\/p>\n
> restrict-to-worlds:
\n> – “example_world_name”
\n> – “example_world_name_2”<\/p>\n
Restrict plant placement to certain worlds.<\/p>\n
### Biome Groups<\/p>\n
> See example under the “Plant Section” header<\/p>\n
Any settings for a plant can also be defined in this section for per-group configuration, except for this setting.<\/p>\n
## Notes<\/p>\n
Note 0: PlantNerfer exists on top of vanilla mechanics; it does not replace them.<\/p>\n
Note 1: ‘dark’ light levels are between and including 0 and 7.<\/p>\n
Note 2: different plants have different numbers of growth stages, which means the same rate can affect some plants more than others.<\/p>\n
Note 3: for a successful bone meal fertilization growth, the plant must go through bone meal rate, growth rate, and vanilla bone meal chance checks.<\/p>\n
Note 4: These are the defaults, for any values not defined by the user:<\/p>\n
> can-place: true
\n> growth-rate: 100
\n> growth-rate-dark: 100
\n> death-rate: 0
\n> death-rate-dark: 0
\n> bone-meal-success-rate: 100
\n> bone-meal-success-rate-dark: 100
\n> needs-hoe-for-drops: false
\n> needs-hoe-for-farmland-retain: false
\n> min-light: 0
\n> max-light: 15
\n> needs-sky: false
\n> transparent-blocks-count-as-sky: true
\n> no-sky-growth-rate: 100
\n> no-sky-death-rate: 0
\n> min-y: -64
\n> max-y: 256
\n> restrict-to-worlds: (empty, so any)
\n> biome-groups: (empty) <\/p>\n
Plants with completely empty config information will use vanilla mechanics.<\/p>\n
Biome group settings will inherit default values from the plant settings, unless they are defined in the biome group settings.<\/p>\n
If a biome is in multiple biome groups applied to a plant, only the last group’s biome will be used for the plant.<\/p>\n
