@ -22,13 +22,6 @@ All functions in plants lib are declared locally to avoid namespace collisions
with other mods. They are accessible via the "plantslib" method, e.g.
plantslib:spawn_on_surfaces() and so forth.
In the case of the growing code and the mapgen-based tree generator code, the
usual spawn_tree() calls used therein are routed through
plantslib:generate_tree() and plantslib:grow_tree(), which just directly call
the spawn_tree() function anyway. This way other mods can wedge into these
two calls by name, to execute something extra whenever a tree is spawned via
this library.

just checks if DEBUG is true and outputs the phrase "[Plantlife] " followed by
the supplied string, via the print() function, if so.

plantslib:generate_tree(pos, treemodel)
plantslib:grow_tree(pos, treemodel)
In the case of the growing code and the mapgen-based tree generator code,
generating a tree is done via the above two calls, which in turn immediately
call the usual spawn_tree() functions. This rerouting exists as a way for
other mods to hook into plants_lib's tree-growing functions in general,
perhaps to execute something extra whenever a tree is spawned.
plantslib:generate_tree(pos, treemodel) is called any time a
tree is spawned at map generation time. 'pos' is the position of the block on
which the tree is to be placed. 'treemodel' is the standard L-Systems tree
definition table expected by the spawn_tree() function. Refer to the 'trunk'
field in that table to derive the name of the tree being spawned.
plantslib:grow_tree(pos, treemodel) does the same sort of thing whenever a
tree is spawned within the abm-based growing code, for example when growing a
sapling into a tree.
