Eternal Harvest

EternalHarvest is a Bukkit/Spigot Minecraft plugin that keeps player-planted crops, saplings, and supported growable plants progressing even when chunks are unloaded or the server has been offline.

The plugin stores tracked plant data in a local SQLite database and uses real elapsed time to continue growth naturally. When a chunk loads again, EternalHarvest catches plants up, updates their growth stage, grows supported vertical plants, and can generate trees from saplings.

EternalHarvest is built for servers that want farming and environmental growth to feel more alive without forcing chunks to stay loaded.

Key Features

Offline and Unloaded Growth
Tracked plants continue progressing based on real time, even while chunks are unloaded or the server is offline.

Automatic Growth Tracking
Player-planted crops and supported plants are tracked automatically when placed.

Vanilla Growth Sync
Crops that grow naturally or through bone meal stay synced with EternalHarvest’s tracking.

Tree Growth
Tracked saplings can grow into trees after their configured growth time.

Bee Nest Integration
Trees grown from tracked saplings can generate bee nests with configurable chance and bee counts.

Vertical Plant Support
Supports plants such as sugar cane, cactus, and player-planted kelp.

Growth Visuals
Optional particles and random growth offsets make fields feel less robotic.

SQLite Database
Plant progress, locations, timestamps, and growth data are stored locally in

plant_growth.db

.

Configurable Settings
Customize growth times, update intervals, bee nest chance, particles, maintenance, and debug logging.

Supported Plants
Wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots, nether wart, sweet berry bushes, cocoa, pumpkin stems, melon stems, kelp, sugar cane, cactus, saplings, bamboo saplings, and mangrove propagules.
