 # list of crops to be effected by the plugin
 # valid crop names can be any of the following:
 #  any of the bukkit.Material enum names    -- crops
 #  any of the bukkit.TreeType enum names    -- trees
 #  any of the bukkit.EntityType enum names  -- animals
 # any other name will have no effect except for inheritance
 # names with capital letters will be assumed to be official bukkit names
 # the plugin will give you a warning if you use a name with any capital letters
 # that does not map to a bukkit material, tree type, or entity type

 growth:
  #----------------------------------------
  crop:
   # the base rate of this plant as a fraction of the standard rate
   base_rate: 0.06
   # the rate at which plants will grow in an artificial environment, sunlight factor will be ignored
   # greenhouse is represented by immediate proximity of a glowstone block with light level 14
   greenhouse_rate: 0.75
   # if this flag is true, the growth rate of the grower is modulated by sunlight levels
   # ie sunlight level = 15 means full growth, while sunlight level 0 means 0 growth
   # sunlight level is disregarded is this flag is false
   needs_sunlight: true
   # multiplier that is applied to plants that are not at level 15 sunlight
   not_full_sunlight_multiplier: 0.25

   # material that, placed in a column beneath a crop block, may provide a bonus for each underlying
   # level of the material.
   soil_material: CLAY
   # the maximum number of layers to count towards the bonus
   soil_max_layers: 4
   # the bonus per level. The total multiplier to the overall growth rate will be:
   #   100%  +  soil_bonus_per_layer * number_of_layers
   soil_bonus_per_layer: 0.5
   # the relative z-level at which to start looking for soil blocks, in this example the column will start
   # 2 blocks below the crop block, ie beneath both itself and the farmland block
   soil_layer_offset: 2

  # wheat
  CROPS:
   # CROPS will take on any parameters from the "crop" growth configuration that are
   # not specified in the CROPS definition (so CROPS will "inherit" the base_rate, needs_sunlight ... etc
   # from "crop")
   inherit: crop
   # if this parameter is set for a crop, then it is "persisted" to grow even when the chunk it is in
   # is unloaded or the server is off. It sets the time to grow to maturity in units of real-life hours
   # if this parameter is set, then the base_rate is ignored, though the other multipliers will still be
   # in effect
