Features

• Auto-harvest — fully grown castle plants are harvested automatically every 5 seconds and deposited into your Harvest chests.
• Growth acceleration — all plants within the weapon's radius grow faster as long as the Fertilizer chest is stocked, even without a weapon.
• Weapon-based radius — the tier of the weapon placed in the Fertilizer chest determines how large the harvest area is (11 tiers, from Bone to Shadow Matter).
• Multi-fertilizer support — Bone (1 credit) and Grave Dust (2 credits) are supported by default. Any item can be added via PrefabGUID in the config.
• Smart consumption — cheapest fertilizer items are always consumed first to preserve the more powerful ones.
• Weapon durability drain — the weapon loses durability proportional to the number of plants harvested (configurable per tier).
• Multiple Harvest chests — items are distributed across all Harvest chests in range, nearest chest first.
• Multi-territory support — each castle territory can have its own independent Fertilizer chest.
• Duplicate detection — if two Fertilizer chests are found in the same territory, the mod disables itself for that territory and logs a warning.
• Chat commands — .nb info shows live farm status; .nb reload (admin only) reloads the config without restarting the server.
• Fully configurable — every setting (chest keywords, consumption rate, growth multiplier, per-tier radius, per-tier durability loss) is editable in the BepInEx config file.
• Server-side only — clients do not need to install anything.

This mod.

Installation (step by step)

All of the following must be done on your dedicated server, not on a client machine.

Step 1 — Install BepInEx

Download BepInExPack_V_Rising from the link above. Extract the contents so your server folder looks like this:

VRisingDedicatedServer/
├── BepInEx/
│   ├── core/
│   ├── plugins/
│   └── ...
├── VRisingServer.exe
└── ...

Step 2 — Install VampireCommandFramework

Download VampireCommandFramework from the link above. Drop VampireCommandFramework.dll into:

VRisingDedicatedServer/BepInEx/plugins/

Step 3 — Install NightBloom

Drop NightBloom.dll into:

VRisingDedicatedServer/BepInEx/plugins/

Step 4 — Start the server

Start the server once. NightBloom will generate its configuration file at:

VRisingDedicatedServer/BepInEx/config/NightBloom.cfg

You can now edit that file to customize the mod (see Configuration File). To apply config changes without restarting the server, use the .nb reload command in-game (admin only).

First-Time Setup

Fertilizer Chest

Name any storage chest in your castle so that its name contains fertilizer or fert (not case-sensitive). Examples: Fertilizer, Fert, My Fertilizer Chest

Inside this chest, place:

Item — Role

A weapon — Determines the harvest radius. Higher tier = larger area.

Bone and/or Grave Dust — Fertilizer credits used to power the mod.

Only one Fertilizer chest is allowed per castle territory. If you place two in the same territory, the mod will disable itself for that territory and log a warning until you remove the duplicate.

Harvest Chest

Name any storage chest in your castle so that its name contains harvest (not case-sensitive). Examples: Harvest, Harvest Chest 1

Harvested plants are automatically deposited here. You can have as many Harvest chests as you want — they are filled starting with the one nearest to the harvested plant.

Harvest chests must be within ChestLinkRadius meters of the Fertilizer chest (default: 45 m).

Weapon Tiers & Radius

The weapon you place in the Fertilizer chest determines the harvest radius. The mod always uses the highest-tier weapon it finds. If two weapons share the same tier, the one with more remaining durability is chosen.

Tier — Weapon — Default Radius

T01 — Bone — 5 m

T02 — Reinforced Bone — 7 m

T03 — Copper — 10 m

T04 — Merciless Copper — 13 m

T05 — Iron — 17 m

T06 — Merciless Iron — 21 m

T07 — Rare Ancestral — 25 m

T08 — Dark Silver — 29 m

T09 — Sanguine — 33 m

T10 — Epic Ancestral — 37 m

T11 — Shadow Matter — 42 m

If no weapon is in the Fertilizer chest, the mod still accelerates plant growth within the NoWeaponRadius (default: 5 m), but does not harvest.

How It Works

Every 5 seconds, for each valid Fertilizer chest the mod:

1. Checks that the chest contains at least
