The first several of these are all required, and are from the last version of
the flowers mod, so this part of the API should be the same as before.
sdelay: The value passed to the ABM's interval parameter, usually in the
1000-3000 range.

From here down are several optional parameters. You can use as many as you
need, but you must specify them in order (so if you want lightmax, you need
lightmin and seed_diff also, but not the rest).
seed_diff: The perlin seed difference value passed to the
minetest.env:get_perlin() function. Used along with the global
perlin controls below to create the "biome" in which the plants
will spawn. Usually a value of somewhere in the 10 to 100 range

Defaults to the engine's MAX_LIGHT value of 14.
nneighbors: Table with a list of neighboring nodes, passed to the ABM as the
"neighbors" parameter, indicating what needs to be next to the
