[MECH/FUN] Watermelon Farm v1.5 - Retain farmland after Melon/Pumpkin harvest [1185]

Watermelon Farm
Version 1.5
RB: 1067

Download: <Edit by Moderator: Redacted mediafire url>

Overview:

After being upset by the fact there was no real easy way to automatically harvest Watermelons, I decided it was time to try to program a Bukkit plugin to revert the block under destroyed melon back to soil/farmland. This goes the same for Pumpkins as well.

Instructions:

Simply place the downloaded Jar in your Bukkit server's plugins folder. Reload or restart your server and whalla, it's running!

Bugs:
* Added as they're found

Changelog:

Version 1.5
* Melons destroyed by pistons will now retain their farmland as well!
* Any farmland trampled over by a piston will revert to farmland on the piston's retract.

Version 1.1
* The tile will only change to soil if it has a stalk next to it.

Version 1.0
* Plugin Released!

 

UPDATE!

(Download from first post)

Changes:

• The tile will only change to soil if it has a stalk next to it.

Hey Guy,
very nice but can u enable that melons pushed by pistons or farmland with melon on top pushed by a piston by bot of the farmland .... (u understand? .. from bot to top in blocks ... piston, farmland, melon. piston pushed farmland pushed melon popped) can u make that this goes back to farmland too?

 

i just wondreing if you might could make a video or picture? plz? otherwise i think good work im testing it out atm.

 

Can you add a feature farmland next to watermelon/pumpkin stems does not turn back into dirt

 

A new version has been released

Version 1.5

• Melons destroyed by pistons will now retain their farmland as well!
• Any farmland trampled over by a piston will revert to farmland on the piston's retract.

Enjoy <3

To add, I went ahead and created an automatic watermelon farm to prove my concept

ahh ok i understand what this does cool plugin

 

this does not work with an automatic melon farm
(when the pistons are pushing the farmland upwards)
[I will post an image when melons regrow!]

 

Ooooooh. I can see where that would be a problem.
I'll hop on that fix ASAP!

 

Wow nice! You should add where bonemeal grows a melon not just the stem . Keep up the good. Also where you can eat a full watermelon for 7 hunger.

 

I have found something, not sure if this is a bug or not. If you make a piston harvesting machine that pushes the melon or pumpkin up, then the other piston pushes it, once the soil come back down, it doesn't revert back to farmland.

Here are pictures explaining what I mean.

Hey Guy,
can u implement that the "Farmland" under the Melon pushed from BOTTOM by a piston, get farmland too? i mean like if u build a piston under farmland, on top of the farmland a melon ... now push the piston with the farmland, the melon drops but the farmland goes to dirt ... I got a Melon automatic ... more compact like urs because of pushed from bottom ... and the dirt not went back to farmland

 

what about pistons Crushing the melon from the top?
It wont work.. but im not sure if u need to update or not.

 

nice plugin, gonna test it on my test server now!

no errors, works fine on my server, added to the live server! cheers!

This doesn't work when the piston pushes the farmland from underneath . Seeing as the dev hasn't been online for a long time, I wonder if it will ever be fixed.

 

Hi Spencer Sharkey!
I want to ad this to my "Farmers" in our MMORPG server. But I would need a permission node so it works only for people in the Farners group to do it. Is there one? Could you add one?

 

May i request a plugin that allows netherwart to grow in the overworld if you could ?
