# AreaPlanter<\/p>\n
**Plant crops in a configurable area with a single right-click!**<\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
## Example of Planting with radius set to 5:
\n<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
* **Area Planting:** Right-click on farmland with seeds to plant crops in a configurable area around the clicked block.
\n* **Customizable Radius:** Server admins can easily adjust the planting radius by editing the `config.yml` file.
\n* **Seed Efficiency:** The plugin consumes only the necessary number of seeds based on the actual planting area and available farmland.
\n* **Vanilla Seed Support:** Supports all vanilla Minecraft seeds that can be planted on farmland.
\n* **Prioritized Seed Consumption:** **Seeds are consumed from the player’s inventory first, preserving the stack in their hand whenever possible.** <\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
1. **Download:** Download the latest `AreaPlanter.jar` file from the Releases page.
\n2. **Install:** Place the `AreaPlanter.jar` file into your server’s `plugins` folder.
\n3. **Start\/Reload:** Start or reload your server to enable the plugin.
\n4. **Configure:**\u00a0 Adjust the planting radius and seed consumption behavior in the generated `config.yml` file within the `plugins\/AreaPlanter` folder.<\/p>\n
## Configuration<\/p>\n
The `config.yml` file in the `plugins\/AreaPlanter` folder allows you to customize the plugin’s behavior:<\/p>\n
* **planting-radius:**\u00a0 Sets the default planting radius (default: 3). Make sure to use an odd number to ensure a central planting block.
\n* **consume-from-inventory-first:** Enables or disables prioritizing seed consumption from the inventory (default: `true`).<\/p>\n
## How it Works<\/p>\n
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.
\n2. **Planting:** If there’s enough farmland and seeds available, the plugin plants crops around the clicked block.
\n3. **Seed Consumption:**
\n * 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.
\n * Otherwise, it will consume seeds directly from the player’s hand.<\/p>\n
