Configuration file
Items
- All 5 different chest possibilities require 5 items.
- Set the type of item for each using the item ID you need.
- Set the amount of items that spawn in the specified chest.
Drop chances
- The following instructions speak of the ChanceOfDrop variable in each chest category.
- When a chest spawns, the plugin picks a chest according to the set drop chances.
- Set the chance of this chest dropping with a value between 0 and 1. (For example 0.2 would equal a 20% drop chance)
- The lowest chance a chest can have is 0.01 (1%).
- The sum of all 5 chest drop chances should equal 1.
Other options
- MaxZRange: The maximum Z distance from the 'center point' that the chests will drop.
- MaxXRange: The maximum Z distance from the 'center point' that the chests will drop.
- Set the time between drops in minutes. (Make sure to give players enough time to reach the chests)
- CenterOfZone-X: The center of the zone in which the chests drop.
- CenterOfZone-Z: The center of the zone in which the chests drop.
- dropWorld: The world in which the drops should happen. The nether/end are not recommended worlds.
Commands
Only OPs may use these commands.
- /ad
- /ad interval [minutes as integer]
- /ad world [world]
- /ad disable
- /ad enable
Permissions
- Not yet implemented. (Current version has no use for them)
Planned features

Posted Apr 20, 2016Does this plugin only support the default number of chests? I added in new chests and I have yet to see one drop. I see one that I replaced one of the defaults with but none of the others. If it could be done so that you can add more than the default chests and they cycle thru that would be wonderful if it won't do that currently.

Posted Dec 2, 2015Is it possible if a language file could be added to editted the airdrop message? Also it would be cool if you added chances for the airdrop to only contain some of the items listed and maybe allow more than just 5 items.

Posted Nov 14, 2015@Grimmonator I discovered a problem. When an airdrop has timed out, I get an error. And there won't be another airdrop after that. It worked several times before. Maybe there is a mistake with one of the chest drops? Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/view/76y8l8jy206ygw3/Airdrop.JPG#

Posted Oct 18, 2015Fantastic plugin, though i have a small suggestion. Maybe add a GUI for each chest configuration that you can choose what items are in what slot/allow for the usage of NBT data (lore, names, colors, enchantments, all that neat stuff)

Just through a command! "/airdrop (ad) giveticket <player> <amount>"
Or something easier.

Hey,
It looks like you've got a problem either in the 'dropWorld' part of the config (most probably) or you may have made some changes to the dropLocation variables.
The good news is that your item configurations are probably fine :D

Hey!
Thanks for the interest in the plugin :)
When you say 'compatible' do you mean it should have features that depend on the factions mod? To my knowledge, at the moment this plugin does not clash with any other ones out there. It won't have any negative effects on a factions server and will function the same as on other types of servers.
I will make it more clear in the info that the plugin shouldn't have problems with any other ones.

Posted Oct 18, 2015Hi, I tried the last version and now this new version (v0.2) but I still get an error message.
I use Bukkit 1.8 and several other plugins, but this error seems to be because of java, which I installed the newest version of.
This is a picture of the error in the latest log, using V0.1 ( Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/view/a6kax4dnu16dm29/Error---Airdrops Plus.JPG# ) This is a picture of the error in the latest log, using V0.2 ( Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/view/vbl7mn523qfdwm5/Fehlermeldung Airdrops V0.2.JPG# ) I don't know how to fix it.
With v0.1, I changed the items, with v0.2 I didn't change anything.
There are no drops at all.

That is why it only spawned on my test server.. Haha! I use a different name on the main world aswell.
Thanks for the feedback on the feedback! Some kind of timer sounds nice, this timer could be shortened by hitting the chest. This will pop up a message, 20 seconds left, etc. I don't think my players are very patient when I think about it haha..
If you want some more, here it comes! Just two small things, maybe big, I'm no dev. :D
Would it be possible to make it NOT spawn on leaves? Like, it spawns ON trees at the moment. Haha :D
Also, a command that forces the drop. - This gave me great idea.. A command that forces the next drop to be close to that player. Maybe around x100, x, z100 from that player. So that you can "call in" a airdrop with right permissions. Possibly certain "Tickets" (paper with name & lore) and if you right click with the paper, you call it in. This will probably conflict with the delete timer as it is at the moment. You obtain tickets via command or something, just a thought. I will fix the payment to do this myself if it's added.
Opinions?
Thanks! ;)

Posted Oct 17, 2015Hey there! Would it be possible to configure the world the airdrop is dropped in? It currently drops in "world" by default but we use another one :)
Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you're enjoying it!
It is possible to set the drop chances to 2 decimal places (0.01 minimum) although I can push a new version soon where I could drop that amount even more.
I really like your idea concerning a delay in looting the chest. Maybe the chests could spawn 'locked' and it takes some time for them to be opened by players. Would love to hear more from you on the matter :)
100% will have the loot deleted from the chest when it de-spawns in the upcoming patch.
Thanks again for the feedback, it really helps me out a lot!

Posted Oct 16, 2015I really like this!
I'm thinking of a way to slow down the looting, or the person who loots it can't loot everything by himself.
This way more people will be able to go for it and don't feel its too far etc, also it will create a war to get the loot.
Something similar.. Will need to test this before I judge tho.
Edit: Is it possible to add chance like 0.005? Or only one decimal? :D Useful for super-rare drop
Edit2: Possibly remove the loot from the chest and not drop it?
