Make anything drop anything, anyhow!

OtherDrops allows you to add anything from a simple "glass drops glass" or mob rewards, to a complex overhaul of your servers drops with drops differing depending on tools, biome, time, weather and much more, along with custom messages, actions and commands.

OtherDrops is lightweight* (it only acts on what you configure) and respects most protection plugins (eg. WorldGuard, Regios) settings. Many examples are included that you can enable and/or customize as you wish.

Getting Started (tutorials)

Further documentation

Help Wanted

Would you like to help improve OtherDrops? Here are some ways to get involved:

Media/art: OtherDrops could really do with some tutorial and example videos.
Testers: Testers who are able to go through the plugin and rigorously check that things (both existing and new features) work as they should. PM Zarius your Skype (or other IM) details if you're interested or jump on the IRC channel.
Programming: any assistance is welcomed - see the todo list here for some ideas. Anyone with refactoring and/or automated testing experience that wants to assist would be great.

Thanks

Many thanks to these people who helped with OtherDrops:

Cyklo: creator of the original OtherBlocks. OtherDrops is a continuation of Cyklo's original OtherBlocks (2011) plugin.
Celtic Minstrel: many code commits and a major overhaul of the code moving into version 2.0. Moved on to create DropFactory.
Rofang: major update of OtherDrops documentation.
RugRats13: lots of testing and some documentation.
Faldonboy & Steelsouls: currently maintaining and improving the documentation.

Hmm bit of a problem going on after I updated to 1.4.6, I have our OtherDrops configs separated into a global config and per world configs(using the world parameter) so they don't interfere with the other worlds, after updating it seems that OtherDrops isn't always listening to the world parameter and is occasionally letting items from other worlds drop.

@WayGroovy

Yeah, it should detect MobArena and disable in area drops by default but someone else mentioned it wasn't working. Does it say "Detected mob arena" or some such when OtherDrops loads up for you?

@dotcurrency

Generally OtherDrops should work ok with any protection plugins. Unfortunately due to Bukkit changes quite a while ago the "priority" level is hard-coded into the plugin.

I've set this at "high" (leaving room for other plugins to pick "highest" if they need to override OtherDrops) and protection plugins should generally be set at a low priority (so that they run first and cancel the block-break event if needed - OtherDrops would then see this event as cancelled and ignore it).

Can you tell what priority the other plugin is running at? Also, can you provide a link to the plugin and let me know what version you are using - I could test it out later perhaps.

Are there any protection plugins that work with this? I am trying to protect a city with preciousstones but this plugin overwrites the protection of blocks that have modified drop rates regardless of the priority.

This is such a great plugin, thank you so much for making it.
Sorry if this is in the post, but how do you make both items drop?
Also how do you edit fish drops?

CREATURE_CREEPER@UNPOWERED: - drop: MONEY quantity: 4 message: "&a You received $&e%q &afor killing a &eCreeper&a!" world: [-Creative]

How do I make it so Creepers drop their 'vanilla' drops in addition to money? I realize I could put "drop: GUNPOWDER" but I'd rather let Minecraft handle it.

Because Mojang decided to take the lazy route and not give Wither Skeletons their own spawn egg + ID, and instead tied them to normal skeletons, this is the only way around it. It's impossible to spawn wither skeletons in the normal world, and it's impossible to differentiate between the two because of this. It's absolutely retarded, but it's possible at least, I suppose.

You are saying that there is no way to specify wither skeleton without the world? Meaning that if a mod (such as this one) puts a wither skeleton in the overworld or a regular one in the nether it's drops would act like the opposite variety? I believe regular skeletons do also spawn in the nether on occasion in vanilla minecraft.

What about specifying wither skeletons in the drop lists of other things? I've given undead a chance to drop themselves (get back up) can I not do that with wither skeletons?

Yes. Just do Witch, Wither, or Skeleton. If you want it to apply to Wither Skeletons specifically, make sure to specify: world: world_nether.

What about new bobs lik wither skeletons or witches. Are they supported? I could not find an example in the include dir and also not their correct entity names in your entity list, to configure them properly.

Howdy and thanks :) The player hurt issue should have been resolved by now - what version of OtherDrops are you using?

Doesn't do custom names yet I believe, but that's planned. Player heads is possible but not custom heads (yet) and I haven't seen any lore text yet so don't know about that one.

Oh, and Seasons Greetings to all :)

Great to see an update Zarius :) Thanks a lot, the player hurt issue has been a problem for quite a while now. I've just got a few noob questions for you. Does the newer version let me give drops custom names, as if they were used on an anvil? And is it possible to drop Player Heads? Also, can I add lore text to my custom dropped items? Thanks, Haders.

Will test it out later, have you tried enabling and testing one of the included modules? Specifically the unit testing one worked with tools for me.

@ZariusT

I'm using version 2.5.2 with Bukkit 1.4.5 R 0.2. Here's my full drop file config. I'm using this with mods to get some custom items to drop while using custom items, however I've tried just using the included files that only use standard MC items and tried some of my own as well. These drops work perfectly fine as long as the tool line isn't added. As soon as a tool is added, it ceases to work!

include-files: 
##########
# The plugin will scan through and load these files after loading the main config below.
# Note: drops from included files will are inclusive and will all be added to the drop list.
##########
#  - includes/od-fix_undroppables.yml    # fix glass, bookshelf, boat and stairs drops
#  - includes/od-goldtools-basic.yml     # allow gold tools chance to get ice, glowstone and grass
#  - includes/od-goldtools-smelt.yml     # gold-pickaxe smelts ores to ingots, sand to glass, etc
#  - includes/od-ore_extraction.yml      # allow ores to be "extracted" - leaving behind the stone
#  - includes/od-leaf_overhaul.yml       # overhaul leaf drops (apples, cocoa beans, leaves, sticks & a very small chance of golden apple)
#  - includes/od-playerdeath_zombie.yml  # players drop zombies on death
#  - includes/od-undead_chaos.yml        # the undead shall rise again! Includes players dropping zombies/skeletons
#  - includes/od-random_examples.yml     # For crazy testing only :) Read through examples before activating.
#  - includes/od-dyewool.yml             # Dye wool after placing!
#  - includes/od-stop_mob_farms.yml      # Stop mob farming!

## Other users overhauls
#  - includes/overhaul-catballs.yml     # great example/playable config from Catballs (disable "ob" configs before using this one, otherwise you might have too many drops)
#  - includes/overhaul-zarius.yml       # Zar's messy config (I run this with no other includes, at the moment)
    
## Add your files here (alternatively just add your custom drops to the bottom of this file)
#  - my_custom_file1.yml

    - includes/od-fix_undroppables.yml

aliases:
##########	
# add custom YAML aliases here (advanced customisation) - see the wiki for more information

defaults:
##########	
# add default values for the config below, "include-files" have their own "defaults" sections


otherdrops:
##########	
# Your changes here, or create a new .yml file and include it above in the "include-files" section
# Explore the included config files for many more examples
#
# If make a interesting or crazy config let me know on the forum and I might include it in the next release.
#
# Example:
#    GLASS:
#        - drop: GLASS
#          
#        - drop: MONEY
#          quantity: 3-15
#          message: You recycled the glass for %q dollars.
