Lore Dropper
Lore Dropper
~Mobs that drop items with custom lore~
UPDATE: Now for 1.7.4!!!


Lore Dropper is a plugin that is designed especially for Role Playing servers. It allows moderators to invent new items that can only be obtained by mob hunting. By "inventing" a new item I am referring to taking any item and giving it a custom name and lore. The moderators can decide the chance of their items being dropped in percentages.
There are two levels of drops, normal and rare. Rare drops can't have a drop chance higher than 25%.
Features
- Give any item a custom name and a story all of its own
- Decide what type of monster has what amount of chance to drop your cutom items
- Two levels of chance for items dropped - normal and rare
- Choose what mobs will drop what items
Permissions
loredropper.*
Should only be given to server staff, not to players.
Commands
| command | description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| /ldhelp | Help Menu | |
| /makeitem <item> <name> <lore> | Make a custom item | /makeitem wood_sword Arthur This sword belonged to king Arthur. |
| /makerareitem <item> <name> <lore> | Make a custom rare item | /makeitem iron_sword IronMan This sword is awesome because it's rare! |
| /setmobdrop <type> <number> | Set the chance for normal items being dropped in percentages | /setmobdrop zombie 15 |
| /listitems | List all regular items created | |
| /listrareitems | List all rare items created | |
| /setto <mob> <itemname> | Set the custom item to desired mob to be dropped from it upon death | /setto skeleton Arthur |
| /setfrom <mob> <itemname> | Remove a certain mob's drop | /setfrom skeleton Arthur |
note: if you get an error when creating a new item you are probably entering an invalid name of the item you want to add lore to. For a list of materials and their names please refer to this.
Configuration
By default ALL chances for items being dropped are 0%
Here are the recommended values to be used with each mob:
Values recommended for use with NORMAL custom items
| Mob | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Zombies | 15 | Zombies are the easiest to kill and most common zombies |
| Spiders | 25 | Spiders are a bit harder and rarer |
| Skeletons | 30 | Hard to kill but also sort of rare |
| Creepers | 38 | Hard to kill and very rare |
Values recommended for use with RARE custom items
| Mob | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Zombies | 5 | Zombies are the easiest to kill and most common zombies |
| Spiders | 13 | Spiders are a bit harder and rarer |
| Skeletons | 17 | Hard to kill but also sort of rare |
| Creepers | 20 | Hard to kill and very rare |

Please leave C&C!
Thank you, i3ick

Posted Jul 15, 2014Hi, this plugin is great and perfectly fits my need, but it doesnt generate the file that contains config.yml when I put it in. I tried to use the command in game it shows that "an internal error occurred..." I m running the craftbukkit 1.7.2 R0.4. it will be great if you can tell me the possible reasons causing this and the solutions to them. thanks

I know it's a bit late now - but for what it's worth randomly appearing text has been removed.

How often is this happening? I will try to fix it
edit: This is supposed to show very rarely but if you are getting it often there must be a bug in the code.

Posted Dec 14, 2013Hi, I've been using your plugin and I just noticed that it will randomly spam my chat. It will say:
This is very annoying and I understand that you want to make sure you get credit for your work, but could you please cut this out or have an option to disable this in the config. Thankyou.

If you want to remove it altogether open the config created by the plugin and under "ItemStack:" find the name of the item you want to delete and delete it with all its meta. Afterwards save, close and restart server.
The image below shows how you would remove an item called Cool_sword using Notepad
important note: If the item you want to delete is a rare item it will not be under "ItemStack" but under "ItemStackRare". You don't need the close the server while doing this.

For my second suggestion, what I actually meant was something like this:
Custom normal item: Arthur
Custom normal item: IronMan
Then even though both are normal items, set the items to have different drop rates, e.g.
Drop rate of zombie dropping a normal Arthur: 15
Drop rate of zombie dropping a normal IronMan: 10
Instead of having drop rate 15 for both Arthur and IronMan.
Still, thanks for the update :) at least now I can remember what I have created! Each mob having different drop is also an interesting feature (which was due to my unclear wording). Thanks for the support too :)

Everything is updated now, please check the newest log file (when the file gets approved, shouldn't be more than a few hours - I just submitted it). It features the list options you mentioned (/listitems and /listrareitems) and it also allows different mobs to have different drops which you also mentioned :)
On the colors: Yes, It will be possible. I am working on that and it should be in my next update (probably the one for the 1.7 minecraft)
Thank you and enjoy, i3ick

Posted Nov 16, 2013Can you enable the mod to use a config file to add custom items instead? (Or use something like '/loredropper list' to view all custom items.
And set different drop rates for each item instead of a general drop rate for each mobs.
Also, will it be possible to use custom colours for the lore and item name?

That's a great idea! I will look into it. Also, if you decide to use my plugin on your server pm me the ip if you want, I'm always interested in seeing how my plugins are being used :)
Thanks, i3ick

Posted Nov 11, 2013Great Plugin! Is there any chance you can add support for color codes in the item name and lore? I plan on using this in my server and I'll definitely let you know if I find any bugs :D
