Configuration

Each fruit will grow depending of the minimun and maximun value, the time the fruit appears is random between the two configured values:

setting name	description	type	default	observations
regrow_min_interval	Minimum Regrow Interval	int	600	Seconds
regrow_max_interval	Maximum Regrow Interval	int	1200	seconds

Overview:

Based on "endless_apples" by Shara RedCat (2018). Its starting at https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=379158#p379158 to solve an issue over growing fruits and now is mantained.

The mod works as is but can be used for other mods, currently the mod has support for ethereal, farming_plus, australia, aotearoa, and moretrees. It also support some special others.

API usage

The regrow.add_fruit() function is used to override each fruits after_dig_node function so that an placeholder node (nostly leaves) is placed once it is taken, then a timer is started that will regrow the fruit on completion (unless tree is chopped down).

Definition

regrow.add_fruit(fruit_node, leaves_node, param2_check_override)

Examples:

	regrow.add_fruit("default:apple", "default:leaves")
	regrow.add_fruit("cacaotree:pod", "cacaotree:trunk", true)
