⛺️ Real Life Tools

What is Real Life Tools?

⛺️ Real Life Tools is an administration and setup plugin designed to configure and manage advanced systems used by the ⛺️ Real Life ❄️ (Realistic Minecraft) plugin.

It is not meant for players — this plugin is built specifically for server owners, developers, and administrators who want full control over how realism systems are defined and used in their world.

This plugin will expand over time as new systems are added to the Real Life ecosystem.

About Real Life (Main Plugin)

⛺️ Real Life ❄️ adds an immersive layer of realism to Minecraft by simulating real-world mechanics such as:

• Dynamic seasons
• Temperature & environmental effects
• Realistic survival mechanics
• Advanced crafting & growth systems
• A living, evolving world affected by player actions

Real Life Tools exists to configure these systems in a precise, data-driven way.

Current Features

• Tree Growth Capture System
• Frame-based tree growth definitions
• Region selection using in-world block selection
• Per-tree origin block definition
• Save & load tree growth data to files
• Preview & paste growth stages directly in the world

More tools will be added as the Real Life plugin grows.

Tree Growth System Explained

Trees in Real Life are not static.

With Real Life Tools, you can define custom tree growth stages by capturing real builds directly in-game.

Each tree consists of:
• A tree name
• Multiple growth frames (indexes)
• An origin block (base reference)
• A captured block region per frame

These frames are later used by the Real Life plugin to simulate natural growth over time.

Commands

Permission required: `RealLife.admin`

⚙ How It’s Used in Practice

1️⃣ Build a tree stage in the world
2️⃣ Capture it using `/rlt create tree`
3️⃣ Repeat for each growth stage (index 0 → n)
4️⃣ Save the tree
5️⃣ Let the Real Life plugin handle growth naturally in gameplay

This allows:
✔ Fully custom tree designs
✔ Realistic multi-stage growth
✔ Zero hardcoded structures

Data & Storage

• Tree data is stored as `.yml` files
• Each tree is loaded into memory when needed
• Trees can be edited, expanded, or replaced at any time

This makes the system version-safe, editable, and expandable.

Permissions

Only administrators can use Real Life Tools commands.

Compatibility

• Designed for modern Spigot / Paper servers
• Built specifically for the Real Life ecosystem
• No player-side interaction required

Development Status

This plugin is actively developed.

Planned future tools include:
• Crop growth definitions
• Seasonal structure changes
• Environmental region tools
• Debug & visualization utilities
