✨ Features

- 🌿 Sugar cane only — every other plant stays 100% vanilla
- ⏸ Stop / Start — pause and resume growth anytime
- 🔄 Reset — back to vanilla speed in one command
- 🌍 Multi-language — English, Français, 中文

⚙️ How It Works
Instead of scanning every block in every loaded chunk each tick (which destroys TPS), FastCane uses an event-driven index:
- 📦 Chunk loads → cane bases indexed once
- 🌱 Player places cane → added to index
- ⛏ Player breaks cane → removed from index
- ⏱ Every X ticks → only indexed bases are grown
The vanilla BlockGrowEvent for sugar cane is cancelled — FastCane is the sole controller of cane growth speed.
📁 Configuration
The config file is automatically generated at plugins/FastCane/config.yml on first launch. You can edit it directly or use the in-game commands — changes made with /cane tick, /cane stop, /cane lang, etc. are saved automatically without needing to touch the file.
# plugins/FastCane/config.yml
# Growth interval in ticks (20 ticks = 1 second)
# Vanilla default: ~4096 ticks (~3.4 min per block)
# Lower = faster. Range: 1 - 100000
growth-ticks: 10000
# Vanilla tick value — used by /cane reset
vanilla-ticks: 4096
# Language: en, fr, zh
lang: en
# Is growth active?

📋 Requirements
| 🖥 Server | Paper 1.21.x |
| ☕ Java | 21+ |
| 🌍 Environment | Server-side only |
❓ FAQ
Does this work with piston farms? Yes — FastCane only controls when cane grows, not how it's harvested.
Will /cane tick 1 lag my server?
With thousands of canes it can add up. Test with /cane tick 20 first and adjust.
Does this affect bamboo or kelp?
No. Only SUGAR_CANE is affected.
The speed I set resets after restart?
It shouldn't — the value is saved automatically to config.yml. Check that your server has write permissions to the plugins folder.

📁 Configuration
Le fichier de config est généré automatiquement dans plugins/FastCane/config.yml au premier démarrage. Tu peux l'éditer directement ou utiliser les commandes en jeu — les changements faits avec /cane tick, /cane stop, /cane lang, etc. sont sauvegardés automatiquement.
❓ FAQ
Ça marche avec les fermes à pistons? Oui — FastCane contrôle uniquement quand la canne pousse, pas comment elle est récoltée.
Est-ce que /cane tick 1 va lagger le serveur?
Avec des milliers de cannes ça peut s'accumuler. Teste avec /cane tick 20 d'abord.
Ça affecte le bambou ou les algues?
Non. Uniquement SUGAR_CANE est affecté.
