RedstoneSpread is a Bukkit plugin that generates organic, terrain-adapting block veins with customizable spread patterns and physics.
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.
.jar file.plugins folder.spread.use to the relevant players.The plugin revolves around a single, powerful command:
/spread <Material> <Amount> [Physics] [Cleanup] [SplitChance] [MultiStart]
| 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. |
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.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
