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)

Alright, thanks for trying ^_^... Found another plugin that solves the bow problem, but armor as well. Still, my class system is 80% based on this plugin, so keep up the good work! *hugs

Would it be possible to extend the new RANDOM enchant slightly so they can be used multiple times on one drop?

- drop: STONE_SWORD@!RANDOM#1-3!RANDOM#1-5

Also, with enchants_use_unsafe set to false I was still able to get a sword drop(using random) that had an infinity enchantment on it. Would it also be possible to add an option to make the enchants_use_unsafe option NOT affect drops using random enchants? I need it on for some of my rare drops but when using random and getting stuff like fire_protection on your sword its a bit annoying.

Release 2.8-beta4 ( Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?27dbj32say6ddcl until BukkitDev file approved)

fix LogBlock/BigBrother/Hawkeye/CoreProtect support (was registering AIR rather than correct block)
add RegenBlock support
remove docs-help folder (docs there are out of date)

allow SpawnedCheck to work with CreatureSpawnEvents
fix DamageAction - allow parsing of integers (eg. damage.victim: [20] no longer gives an error)
add new trigger: HIT (applies to any entity hitting another, except a player hitting, that's still LEFT_CLICK to avoid breaking existing configs).
added potioneffect.drop (applies to dropped LivingEntities - eg. any mob)
allow LoreNameCheck to apply to tool used to fire a projectile (more accurately: the item in the shooters hand - eg. PROJECTILE_ARROW lorename: MyBow will check the lorename on the bow rather than the projectile).
allow RANDOM as an enchantment (will search for a random valid enchantment)
enchantments level now an IntRange and works in tool: condition. (eg. tool: DIAMOND_SWORD@!DAMAGE_ALL#3-6)
fix "xp_overrides_default" setting

And here's some examples of what the changes let us do:

GRASS: - drop: [SKELETON, ZOMBIE] potioneffect.drop: SPEED@300@5 - drop: [FISHING_ROD@!~Poison Whip, BLAZEROD@!FIRE_ASPECT#6~Flaming Justice, DIAMOND_SWORD@!DAMAGE_ALL#1-6~Butterfly, BOW@!~Bow of Zeus, ARROW/64] dropspread: false ANY_CREATURE: - tool: DIAMOND_SWORD@!DAMAGE_ALL#2 drop: DIAMOND - tool: DIAMOND_SWORD@!DAMAGE_ALL#5 drop: EGG - action: HIT tool: PROJECTILE_FISHING_ROD lorename: Poison Whip potioneffect.victim: POISON@60@5 damage.victim: 1 message: "You've poisoned %v." - action: HIT tool: PROJECTILE_ARROW lorename: Bow of Zeus damage.victim: [LIGHTNING@20] - action: LEFT_CLICK tool: BLAZEROD lorename: Flaming Justice damage.victim: [5-500] message: "You've set %v on fire." # Pokeball like action! :) - action: HIT tool: PROJECTILE_EGG drop: SPAWNEGG@THIS replacementblock: AIR

Ah, sorry - re-read this comment and there's currently no way to deny an arrow being shot (I don't listen to the projectile fired event) - only deny a drop if they haven't got the right permissions.

Try out this build ( Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zvclqdsxu4329ry ) :)

(support added for RegenBlock, also fixed an issue that affected LogBlock/CoreProtect logging)

There are no spoiler tags here which is why I've changed the Support Thread at the top of this page to be the Bukkit forums (which do have a [spoiler][/spoiler] tag). Otherwise you can post it to pastebin.com and link it here. Will check these issues out later tonight.

I actually realised and tried replacing the "- mobspawn: MOB_SPAWN" with "- action: MOB_SPAWN" from our egg-chicken denying thing, and it stops the fish from dropping, but still does not stop the chicken from spawning

also remember that by default eggs and snowballs do not actually damage, I do not know if they still creates a EntityDamageEvent

It also bears noting that entering a value for damage.victim throws a bunch of errors:

ZOMBIE: - action: RIGHT_CLICK damage.victim: [20] tool: ANY

While entering a single digit range works as expected:

ZOMBIE: - action: RIGHT_CLICK damage.victim: [20-20] tool: ANY

If you would like the log I can give it to you, but remind me how to do a spoiler again

Doh, you're right - there's no action: HIT trigger - I was thinking of action: LEFT_CLICK as that also monitors EntityDamageEvent but only for player hits, not hits from a projectile - will take a look at that.

The spawn one should have been "action" rather than "mobspawn", as per below:

CHICKEN: - action: MOB_SPAWN spawnedby: EGG drop: NOTHING

Hmm, not sure about denying the chicken spawn only when being used as the trigger - that's a bit of a tricky one.

@Faldonboy

Yes, it should accept a list :)

Next question, does potioneffect.victim accept lists? [INCREASE_DAMAGE@6000@2, SPEED@6000@2, FIRE_RESISTANCE@6000@2] for example.

I'm not sure whether you meant that these should work now, or that they could be implemented later in this way, but they do nothing apparent right now (2.8 beta 3)

- actually, it stops the egg spawned chicken from dropping anything if killed later, tried using FISH in place of NOTHING to test further, and they dropped fish once I killed them

What are we using as a trigger in the projectile cases? Because I was not aware that tool: PROJECTILE_EGG was a trigger, but thought it was a qualifier for the trigger action: BREAK

In the case of blocking the chicken spawns, I was actually hoping to deny them only when throwing the egg was the trigger for a specific drop, rather than any time a thrown egg would spawn a chicken

Yeah - who wants to drop increased damage angry wolves!!! That's scary! :D

Actually, not so scary as they won't currently attack you - Bukkit bug :\

In regards to the issue - yeah, it's due to the potioneffect.victim applying to the target which in the case is the original spawn, being different to a dropped mob. I can see how that config makes sense though so I'll have to think of a way around it.

Hmm, is this intentional?

This works:

    WOLF:
        - action: MOBSPAWN
          drop: DEFAULT
          potioneffect.victim: INCREASE_DAMAGE@6000@2

But this doesn't

    WOLF:
        - action: MOBSPAWN
          drop: WOLF@ANGRY
          potioneffect.victim: INCREASE_DAMAGE@6000@2

Hmm, possibly since I keep an eye on EntityDamageEvent anyway - should work something like:

PLAYER: - damage.victim: FIRE@100 # fire for 100 ticks tool: PROJECTILE_ARROW # or ZOMBIE: - damage.victim: LIGHTNING tool: PROJECTILE_EGG

Hmm... denying the chicken spawn could work like this:

CHICKEN: - mobspawn: MOB_SPAWN spawnedby: EGG drop: NOTHING

There's are new features though so needs more testing - let me know if there are any problems.

And yeah, more examples are definately welcome :) Once a wiki is set up (hopefully very soon) I'll have a spot where people can add & maintain their own preferred config (if they're happy to share it).

Yes, this is possible - for a single drop you can use:

LEAVES: - drop: STICK world: MYWORLD # you can also use a list, eg. [MYWORLD1, MYWORLD2]

You can also create a separate "include file" if you wanted with the file set to apply only to a specific world (or list of worlds) by putting this section at the top of the include file:

defaults: world: MYWORLD

I wonder if it's possible to make the "drops" in a certain world using Multiverse? So I can like edit drops so a leave drops a stick only in a different world, not the official spawn world.

I replied on the RegenBlocks thread noting that it's due to not being able to replace drops in a BlockBreakEvent without cancelling the event. If you (or anyone reading this) is interested in a fix that would increase compatibility with logging plugins and others like RegenBlock please consider signing up to the Bukkit issue tracking and voting on the issue here.

So I notice the damage.victim parameter that was just added, and got really exited, but will we see things like being struck with various projectiles as a trigger? Or is there a way to do that already that I've missed?

I would like to have eggs thrown at damaged mobs kill them, and drop a spawn egg for that mob, (like a pokéball I guess) right now I am having to use right click, which looks nowhere near as good.

As a side note, is there any way to deny the chance of baby chicken spawn in these instances?

Are you interested in interesting drop files to use as examples/ideas? I use this plugin a lot, and feel like I've invented some neat ideas.
