The world generator has been extended with a procedural foliage decoration system that places schematics and vegetation on plots during chunk generation. Schematic placement uses a deterministic hash-based algorithm that calculates positions per-plot, ensuring consistent results across chunk boundaries and server restarts. Categories like tree/ and stone/ support configurable spawn chances, max instances per plot, and vertical translation (stones are embedded 2-4 blocks into terrain). A weighted block palette (FoliageDecorator) distributes ground vegetation (grass, ferns, flowers, saplings) using WorldEdit's pattern system with 60% air for natural spacing. All placement logic includes early rejection checks and bounded iteration to minimize performance overhead during world generation.
Place schematics in the following folders to have them be used as foliage for the world generators:
- plugins/PlotSquared/pfoliage/tree/*.schem
- plugins/PlotSquared/pfoliage/stone/*.schem
When merging plots, the foliage won't be placed.
PlotSquared is a land and world management plugin for Minecraft. It includes several highly configurable world generators. You can create plots of land in existing worlds using plot clusters, or you can have a full world of plots.
For the end user, PlotSquared is packed with a tonne of cool features. It allows you to merge plots, and build together with your friends. You can also change a lot of plot specific settings in the form of flags. Such as: weather, time, game modes, pvp status.
Whilst we provide a whole load of unique features, the biggest focus is to provide a lag-free and smooth experience.
