Keep your crops harvest-ready without worrying about them dying before you return! RipeFreeze is a lightweight Rust plugin that automatically freezes player-planted crops at 5% of the Ripe growth stage, preventing them from aging until players harvest them. Perfect for servers where players want to maintain their farms without constantly monitoring crop growth. Features Automatic Growth Freeze: Crops stop aging at 5% of the Ripe stage. Vanilla Growth: Plants develop normally until reaching the configured threshold. One-Time Harvesting: Each plant can only be harvested once. Persistent Withered Plants: After harvesting, plants enter the Dying stage and remain in place until manually removed. Vanilla Genetics: Does not modify plant genetics or normal harvest yields. Existing Crop Support: Automatically detects already planted crops. Customizable Settings: Adjust the Ripe freeze percentage and monitoring interval. No Permissions Required: Works automatically without player commands. How It Works Players plant their crops normally. Plants grow through their natural growth stages. At 5% of the Ripe stage, growth automatically stops. Crops remain ready for harvesting. After harvesting, the plant enters the Dying stage. Withered plants remain until manually removed by players.
