About

Realistic Growth brings a natural touch to your Minecraft world by allowing saplings, seeds, and plants to replant themselves when they despawn, just like in the real world. This plugin mimics the process where seeds or saplings fall to the ground and grow into plants or trees, provided they are placed on the correct type of soil or ground. When these items despawn, they will replant themselves if the ground beneath them is suitable for growth, just like how seeds naturally germinate in real life.

Supported Software:

CraftBukkit
Spigot
Paper
Folia
Purpur
Other server implementations may work, but are not recommended as they may cause compatibility issues.

Features:

Self-Replanting Saplings: When saplings or other plants despawn, they will replant themselves on the correct ground, simulating real-world tree growth. If there are more than 4 seedlings in the item stack, if the tree can grow as a 2x2 and if there is enough space on the ground, it will be replanted as a 2x2 tree with a certain probability.
Configurable Planting Chance: The plugin offers full configurability, allowing you to adjust the chance (in percentage) that saplings and plants will replant themselves when they despawn. This adds a layer of realism, as not all seeds or saplings grow in the real world—sometimes they fail to take root. You can set the likelihood of regrowth to match your desired level of realism.
(default is 90%)

Metrics collection

Realistic Growth collects since Version 1.2 anonymous server statistics through bStats, an open-source statistics service for Minecraft software.

If you'd like to disable metrics collection via bStats, you can edit the plugins/bStats/config.yml file.
