LootCrates

This project will be inactive and won't work for 1.8 servers until I finished the recoding.
Development Builds
Quote from the developer chengzi368:Development builds of this project can be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use them at your own risk!
Features
A simple plugin that allows you to open crates. Unlike SurpriseEggs, it allows you to use keys to open crates. Also, it allows players to uncrate in their own inventory without any command, and gives players only one item per crate, like TF2 and CS:GO.
- It also support random items from MythicDrops and CrackShot!

How to use
Open your inventory or workbench, then put your crates and keys into the crafting zone, and click the dirt on the result slot... It will turn to your reward instantly!
Commands
- /lc give <crate/key> <type> [amount] [player]
- /lc reload
Aliases: /lootcrates or /crates
Permissions
- LootCrates.give
- LootCrates.reload
Configuration
- Need documenters!
Auto-Updater
This plugin contains an auto-updater to check updates and notify you in order to make sure you are using the newest, not buggy version. However if you want to disable this feature for some reasons, you can set checkUpdate to false in plugins/LootCrates/config.yml.
Metrics
This plugin utilises Hidendra's plugin metrics system, which means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org:
- A unique identifier
- The server's version of Java
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The server's version
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The core count for the CPU
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
Opting out of this service for this plugin can be done by editing plugins/LootCrates/config.yml and changing useMetrics to false.
TODO List
- Drop crates to online players randomly. (Maybe in v1.3.0)
Broadcast to online players after somebody opened a crate.(In v1.2.0)

Other Plugins
- SurpriseEggs - Another awesome crate plugin, but allows bigger inventory for every "eggs".
- BetterPositionTP - A better way to travel around the world(jk, but it is simple and useful).
- LootBox - An alternative, similar plugin. (It isnt my plugin however, just a suggestion :) )

If you want mobs drop loot crates, you should download OtherDrops.

Posted Aug 30, 2014Here's my idea for loot crate: 1. You should make it so loot crates spawn and are broadcasted and take 10 seconds or longer to break. You should also be able to create a radius where the crates can spawn. Allow for customizable spawn intervals. 2. Allow mob drops and add a customizable drop chance. 3. Disable placing Crates, it makes them back into chests. Just my 2 cents, but would love if either of these are possible.

I am afraid that you have to wait 1.2.9, at the moment you can give them out manually.

Posted Aug 19, 2014I tried adding items such as gold nuggets and ghast tears to a custom crate, but it did not seem to work. Do you use an item's data values when inputting them?

I guess it is a bug from shopkeepers. Ask its authors to fix that.

It is possible, this feature will be added in next version (v1.2.8).
