Inactive [FUN/MISC] Giant Trees v0.4.3 - Make Massive Trees in Minecraft [1.1-R6]

First!!! I am definitely trying this out on my test server, as it looks really cool! Are there any options to what type (birch, oak, etc.) of tree it spawns, or if there isn't, will there be an option in a later version?

Ill give this a try.

Haha thanks! And no, there isn't right now but it's definitely do-able. Tree leaves do automatically change depending on what biome you're in though. You'll notice in the picture they are the dark green color.

Sweet, let me know how it works for you

This is a wonderful plugin -- thanks!

I'd love to be able to spawn different types, as mentioned above. And, what about the possibility of generating hollow trunks, for building treehouses and such more easily?

@Connor Mahaffey Clean up your formatting, maybe?

Awesome comes to mind just tried it 50 tall and 10 wide. Looks epic

Can we add maybe two things related to each other..

In the config, specify limits for w/h when creating trees. Also add a permissions node to ignore this settings for power users.

Thanks

I did mine 27 tall and it looks odd stumpy but cool

@Connor Mahaffey
Perhaps a note on what settings were used for the trees in the screenshot?

Lol, i have just done a review and it will be up in a mo so you can see my 2 attempts, one is epic and one is shit lol.

Ooh, another plugin. Will try this one later :3

Review is done it is here :

@jamescosten Haha the second one is pretty shitty.

But I like how it works in real time. Maybe we are gonna use this on our server to make a nice rainforest (If it's called rainforest?!).

Can I create more than one tree at the same time?

Hey,

I use cb860.
I got this error when the tree was spawning:

Great plugin, you should add this in the world generator!

Your first bug report:
I just spawned a tree by looking at snow, and it spawned it like this:

You might want to add snow to the ignored blocks.

Requesting a /gt undo
so incase you generate somethign hideous, you can remove, and redo

I second this especially after my hideous attempt lol

i like it its pretty awsome

Hollow trees would be cool! And by different types, you mean different wood and leaves, or completely different types, like a pine or something?

Sorry what exactly do you mean, in the code?

That's a good idea! Definitely in the next release!

Hahahah yea, the height/width thing is a little confusing. You have to do a much bigger height than width for it to work right 20 by 5 is actually about as low as it can go without it giving an error

@Connor Mahaffey Lol no, the giant pic in the OP is just kind of in the way. Spoiler at bottom, maybe?
Great plugin tho!

Win

Right now no :/ It's very hard on the server so right now I've got it so you can't. I'm definitely going to make a cache list in the future that will let you set the locations of several trees, then just have them grow on their own. Should I make it so you can grow more than one? I'm afraid I'll kill servers that way!

Hahaha I'll call Notch XD though if bukkit has a way of telling when trees grow I'll add a random % chance that they grow.

Yes my arch nemesis, the dolighting error of doom. This error happens when the server can't keep up with the lighting as the tree is built. If you've changed your config to something below 60, change it back. If you haven't changed it, make it higher, say 70 or 80. But if that's the case I'd really like to know your server's specs.

I suppose, do you need a wider tree? I thought that'd be as wide as anyone would want. What do you think the max width should be?

leave the max width by the user or leave it out. its her choice if they want to test a /gt 50 500 tree by damaging the world its not your fault

Since CB 825 there is a way to implement the generator.
I have no ide how though, but there is some plugins here that does it, with open source.

Actually it's not spawned where you are looking, its actually spawned where you are standing. But I guess snow would still have that problem. So will standing on an edge, everything will go off the edge.

Hahaha yea I'm gonna remove that and put @jamescosten 's review up instead. I'll leave it as a link. Just a side note, no one pointed out that you can see a messed up tree in the background that has no leaves

Hahaha yes I agree this needs to be done ASAP. I'm a little unsure the best way to do it, and it will further complicate a cache list. The only way I know to do it, is to get every block id and location, and store them in a file. Hmmmm, looks like I'll get to have fun with files.



This is really awesome though guys, this is just in submissions and already it's a huge hit! Thank you all so much.

I'll look into it, I think we can all agree that this plugin does not create trees "efficiently"

Haha there needs to be a limit. The last thing I need is someone on here mad, because some prankster went to the center of a city and did /gt 50 1000 and wiped out the whole map. I'll consider bumping it up to say 50, for people who build to the very bottom of the map, to make the biggest tree possible. But right now, its very "fool proof", if you choose a width of 4-8 and a height of 30+ you can't go wrong, and you get a decent looking tree
