HereGravity

A premium, highly-optimized Paper Minecraft plugin for selective block-gravity physics and instant canopy leaf shattering! Add custom weight-based physics to logs, terrain, and structures automatically, while enjoying ultra-fast leaf decay.

Features

• Selective Config-Driven Gravity:

  • Apply sand/gravel-like falling block physics to any block in Minecraft.
  • Fully supports both standard material types (e.g., TERRACOTTA, CLAY) and native Minecraft Tags (e.g., #logs, #dirt, #leaves).

• Dynamic "Shatter" Canopy System:

  • Tired of floating leaves hanging in the air forever when harvesting trees?
  • Automatically intercepts block physics updates and triggers natural, instant leaf shattering for any leaves with a distance greater than 6 blocks from a tree trunk (unless placed persistently by players!).

• "Breaks-on-Fall" Landing Interceptor:

  • Configure specific gravity-affected blocks to shatter on landing instead of placing themselves.
  • Cancel block placement upon impact and drop the block immediately as a vanilla collectible item on the ground (ideal for immersive harvesting or custom block drops).

• Completely Background & Seamless:

  • Requires zero active player commands or complex permission setups.
  • Processes block falls asynchronously and efficiently, keeping server tick rates buttery smooth.

How to Configure

All configurations are handled inside the standard config.yml file.

Default Configuration

# HereGravity Configuration
# Use standard block names (e.g., TERRACOTTA, CLAY) 
# Or use Minecraft tags by adding a '#' (e.g., '#logs', '#dirt', '#leaves')

gravity-list:
  '#logs':
    breaks-on-fall: true
  '#dirt':
    breaks-on-fall: false
  TERRACOTTA:
    breaks-on-fall: false
  CLAY:
    breaks-on-fall: true
  SNOW_BLOCK:
    breaks-on-fall: true
  GLOWSTONE:
    breaks-on-fall: true

Configuration Options

• breaks-on-fall (true / false):
  • If true, the falling block will immediately break and drop as an item stack when it hits the ground.
  • If false, the falling block will land normally and solidifies back into a placed block.
