# IpacGrowthControl
\nA simple plant growth control plugin for Minecraft.<\/p>\n
https:\/\/modrinth.com\/project\/ipacgrowthcontrol<\/p>\n
This is a simple plugin for controlling plants such as sugar cane, cactus, bamboo, and vines.
\nIt allows players to use shears to quickly toggle the growth ability of a single plant, which is useful for builds that need to keep plants at a fixed height, temporarily pause natural growth, or make machine maintenance easier.<\/p>\n
### Usage<\/p>\n
Hold shears and right-click a plant to toggle its growth ability.
\n– Upward-growing plants: sugar cane, cactus, bamboo, kelp, and twisting vines.
\n– Downward-growing plants: vine, weeping vines, and cave vines.<\/p>\n
The plugin automatically finds the anchor block of that plant and stores its state.
\nWhen the player is in Survival or Adventure mode, each toggle consumes 1 point of shears durability.
\nSome plants can also play a shearing sound when toggled, and this list can be adjusted in the config.
\nRight-click again with shears to re-enable growth.
\nThe stored state is automatically cleared when the block is broken, replaced, exploded, or changed by other events. <\/p>\n
