Features

 

  • Plants require direct sky access to grow and survive
  • Plants without direct sky access will die when attempting to grow, turning into dead bushes
  • Affects the following blocks:
    • All standard crops (Wheat, Carrots, Potatoes, etc.). Should be compatible with other modded crops as long as they extend CropBlock class
    • Melon and Pumpkin stems
    • Sugar Cane
    • Bamboo
    • Cactus
    • Sweet Berry Bushes
  • Prevents bone meal usage on plants without direct sky access
