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.

Hmm, I just tested this:

     IRON_ORE:
         - replacementblock: STONE
           tool: [STONE_PICKAXE, IRON_PICKAXE, DIAMOND_PICKAXE]
           delay: 1
           drop: IRON_ORE
           quantity: 1-2
         - tool: [STONE_PICKAXE, IRON_PICKAXE, DIAMOND_PICKAXE]
           drop: XP
           quantity: 1-3

...with 64 iron ore and got 64+36 in return - which is pretty close to the average expected return of 1.5 per block (quantity 1-2). Every single ore dropped at least one ore for me.

Issue atm is that it does replace the block with stone (tested with iron ore)
but the ore drop wont drop sometimes.
I destroyed atleast 4 iron ores , dropped 1x iron ore itself..

EDIT:
Obviously i miss understood this, the ores does not dissappear (i think) they just fly to a spot where is room, which can be pretty far :D few blocks from you tbh so if there is lava near = you lose them coz mostly they fly to freaking lava :D

Ok, time to update my testing script :D It tests "replacementblock" but with a small delay, which works. For now try adding "delay: 1" and it should work as expected (with a slight moment where the block disappears), I'm working on a fix for it to include in beta2.

eg:

COAL_ORE: - replacementblock: STONE drop: COAL tool: ANY_PICKAXE delay: 1 quantity: 1-3 - tool: ANY_PICKAXE drop: XP quantity: 1-2

I'll look into the replacement block issue - odd, as I tested that (leaves to glowstone at least).

It's a complex plugin but shouldn't be heavy. It really depends on how many config items and conditions you put into it, but even with hundreds of custom drops it'll just skip the ones that don't apply.

Basic process is (for eg. a block break)

listen to event
check if event is cancelled (if so, exit)
grab list of custom drops specific to this action (block_break) and block (eg. coal)
check each of these (generally only a few - eg. in your example below there's only a max of two potential drops to check) against conditions (eg. tool, world, etc) - this should be very quick
drop the item and process any actions/messages (if there are no actions, nothing get's processed)

Most of the processing is done on server startup - reading the config, checking material names are correct, storing conditions and actions, etc.

The ore block drops & no stone is replaced on the ore place..

also is this really heavy plugin? because randomly my server TPS goes down :E and it feels like its happening while im mining or killing stuff :E

Yes, that should work for all villagers I believe.

@WhyLife

I haven't added support for moving piston drops yet - will look at that for a later version.

@semirotta

Could be some issues - will look into mcMMO compatibility.

@winddelay

The IN_MOB_ARENA flag's working ok, there's an issue somewhere else in the config. I've got it working ok by deleting some sections of your config but haven't pinned down the actual problem yet.

Does anyone know how to edit the drops for things such as moving pistons? I want to know how to make it so that people can't get cocoa beans through the destruction or moving of the log.

Question: Is it possible that this plugin conflicts with mcMMO?

I have altered ore drops with this plugin and mcMMO also gives small chance with Mining skill to give double or even triple drops from ores...
Can this cause lagging? because my server has random TPS drops and especially when used mcMMO ability.

#1068 Posted Jan 11, 2013

I'm having an issue now with my arena drops, and also with skulls. I had my arena drops set like this:

 - &ArenaDropsHostile
   tool: ANY
   dropgroup: arena_hostile
   flags: [IN_MOB_ARENA, UNIQUE]
   drops:

        - drop: POTION@8229/1%  #healthII
        - drop: POTION@16421/1% #healthIIsplash
        - drop: POTION@16418/0.25% #swiftIIsplash
        - drop: POTION@16449/0.25% #regenIIsplash
        - drop: POTION@16425/0.25% #strenghtIIsplash
        - drop: SNOWBALL/1-5/5%
        - drop: IRON_INGOT/2-4/4%
        - drop: ROTTEN_FLESH/1-2/5%
        - drop: BAKED_POTATO/1-2/3%

 - &ArenaDropsNeutral
   tool: ANY
   flags: [IN_MOB_ARENA, UNIQUE]
   drop: STEAK/1-2/100%

and I tagged them to the mobs and food creatures accordingly, It worked great till 2.7 beta. Now nothing seems to drop in arena, Except skelly bows, bones, and arrows that seem to be sneaking in from somewhere else in the config, and also lots of mob heads. I had been handling mob heads thusly;

 - &dropHeadSkeleton
   biome: -HELL
   tool: *playerWeapons
   drop: 397@0/1/0.2%
 
 - &dropHeadWither
   biome: HELL
   tool: *playerWeapons
   drop: 397@1/1/0.05%
 
 - &dropHeadZombie
   tool: *playerWeapons
   drop: 397@2/1/0.2%
 
 - &dropHead
   tool: *playerWeapons
   drop: 397@2/1/0.2%
 
 - &dropHeadSteve
   tool: *playerWeapons
   chance: 5
   message: "%v was decapitated"
   commands: /!*ph spawn %v %p
 
 - &dropHeadCreeper
   tool: *playerWeapons
   drop: 397@4/1/0.5%

And tagging them off to the appropriate creatures with skelly getting the 2 biome specific tags, and player heads plugin handling the player head provisos. We were keeping wither and mob heads at low droprates to keep wither damage low, and make the regular heads have more value. Now it seems to not control the head droprates at all... I emailed the full file if you wanted to take a look at it.

New release:

Release 2.7-beta1 (file here: Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?9oovaba5cnhck7h - until Bukkit dev upload is approved)

fix for Jukebox NPE error
fix ItemFrame "unknown entity" error & move all unknown entity messages to verbosity "HIGH" (=less console spam)
fix issue with "drop: DEFAULT" not working
fix issue where mobs always dropped default items/xp
fix for "tool: HANDS" failing in 2.6-beta1
add Metrics support (metrics.griefcraft.com) to track anonymous usage stats (opt-out in plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml - set opt-out to true)
note: over 1000 minecraft plugins already use this library so you've probably already got it and I thought the stats would be interesting. Everyone gets to see the same stats here: metrics.griefcraft.com/plugin/OtherDrops
fix for mobs dropping custom items/xp inside MobArena arenas
