Recently while farming my melon I broke some of the melon stems and this can be a real pain to fix so I created a plugin that would be a good solution for this issue. So I created a melon mode which once enabled players can't break melon or pumpkin stems and along with this I created a baby seed system in which players can't break seeds unless they are fully grown or shifting. Now I'm not suggesting that this is given out for free I believe that the best way to implement this would with a monthly subscription of player points or in came cash. Video: GitHub:
This idea seems cool; however, i don't necessary agree that its worth the time and resources to implement. This is solely because not only may it need a ton of bug-testing with interfering with other different types of relevant plugins, this will waste resources which currently we're not looking to increase on both our main servers. I love your support and efforts into putting this suggestion together. For me, this suggestion is a no but i'll leave it open for others to discuss
Responding to both of you with another idea- In regards to being unable to break seeds/ttrample crops, What about working through this with the custom enchantment plugin and a special pair of boots or armor, Maybe even a book that way it's more easily accessible? Possibly an enchantment that would prevent you from breaking any type of Tier 1 crop/seed, that way it could also prevent breaking baby wheat/potatoes/carrots.
