I was wondering if there is currently a plugin that allows plants to grow while no one is on a server, and if not could someone make one? Thanks!
AFAIK there is a Plugin that lets Crops grow by interpolation the Growtime after Chunk reload. But this only works with crops. I use Citizens NPC Plugin to get this Effect. The Chunk a NPC is in doesnt get unloaded, so even a Furnace will keep working because the Chunk doesnt get unloaded. Even Mobspawners react to an NPC like to a Player, so you can utilise Mobspawners and keep them active with a nearby NPC. ^^ Remember, only the Chunk a NPC is in stays active. All surrounding Chunks will unload when no Player is in range of them. Hope this helps.
I know it's a year and months since this tread was last active, but do you happen to know the name of the plugin that lets crops grow? I searched for it in the plugins area but to no avail.
