Permission

Binds a composter that hastens (or stalls) the crops around it in a tiered sphere. Richer compost fades toward a steady trickle over time. The scaffold burns away in the binding.

Pattern

Hover a tile to name it. Reading pattern diagrams explains the symbols.

5 × 5, 2 layers high. Drawn flat on the ground, facing any compass direction.

How it works

Growth binds a composter that tends the crops around it. Right-click the composter, and the scaffold burns away while the composter stays bound. Crops within reach then grow at a pace set by how full the compost is:

• Empty, the compost stops every crop in reach from growing.
• Filled, from the first layer to the eighth, it speeds the crops, and a fuller composter speeds them more.

The reach grows with Tier, from 8 blocks at Tier 1 to 32 at Tier 7.

Feeding the compost

Food composts as usual. Rich compost fades with time: each Minecraft day, a composter filled above the first layer settles one layer, until it rests at one. A composter you empty by hand stays empty, so the crops stay still.

At the top layer, a right-click empties the compost, without the usual bone meal. The Growth compost settles — the soil rests.

Tips

Empty the compost to hold a field of crops at a chosen stage, for a build or a market display.

Configuration

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/growth.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Setting	Default	What it does
decay-interval-ticks	24000	Ticks between automatic fill decays while the compost is above level 1. Levels 2–8 lose one fill each interval and rest at 1; fill 0 stays stable.

Settings by Tier

Setting	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3	Tier 4	Tier 5	Tier 6	Tier 7
radii-by-tier Effect radius in blocks per pattern Tier (1 = Tier 1 … 7 = Tier 7).	8	12	16	20	24	28	32
