RedstoneSpread is a lightweight builder's utility plugin for Bukkit servers (1.16+). It allows players to generate organic, branching patterns of blocks. It is perfect for creating natural redstone lines, blood veins, creeping vines, corruption, or ore veins that adapt to the terrain.
📥 Installation
- Download the
.jarfile. - Place it in your server's
pluginsfolder. - Restart the server.
- Grant the permission
spread.useto the relevant players.
🎮 Commands
Main Command
The plugin revolves around a single, powerful command:
/spread <Material> <Amount> [Physics] [Cleanup] [SplitChance] [MultiStart]
Parameters Explained
| Argument | Type | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Text | Yes | The block type to place (e.g., REDSTONE, OBSIDIAN, FIRE). |
| Amount | Integer | Yes | The maximum number of blocks to place. |
| Physics | true/false |
No | Default: true. Updates block connections (e.g., redstone connecting) or gravity (sand falling). |
| Cleanup | true/false |
No | Default: false. If true (and using Redstone), it removes single unconnected dots at the end. |
| SplitChance | 0.0 - 1.0 |
No | Default: 0.1. Controls the shape of the spread (see below). |
| MultiStart | true/false |
No | Default: false. If true, the spread forces 4 starting branches instead of 1. |
🎨 Shaping Your Spread (SplitChance)
The [SplitChance] argument is the most important setting for determining how the structure looks. It determines how often a line divides into two.
0.0(The Snake): The line will never branch. It creates a single, long, wandering path. Good for long wires or distinct trails.0.1-0.3(The Vine): Occasional branching. Looks like natural vines or cracks in a wall.0.5(The Tree): Balanced branching. Looks like a lightning bolt or tree roots.0.9-1.0(The Cluster): Constant branching. Creates a dense blob or explosion pattern.
🛠 Examples
1. Standard Redstone Line:
Places 64 redstone dust, allowing them to connect, and removing "dot" glitches.
/spread REDSTONE 64 true true 0.1
2. Creeping Corruption (Obsidian):
Creates a dense cluster of Obsidian (100 blocks) that looks like it is spreading out from the center.
/spread OBSIDIAN 100 true false 0.8 true
3. Single Long Path (Gold Block):
Creates a long snake of gold blocks (200 blocks long) that climbs up and down terrain without branching.
/spread GOLD_BLOCK 200 false false 0.0
