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.

I'm having a very annoying problem where I can't nickname drops with more than one word which means I have to constantly use underline just to make it one word. It started working when I cleared all the plugins but when I added the health bar plugin it completely broke it and now i can't bind custom drops to nicknamed mobs with more than one word

Hey @ZariusT

Was doing a bit of testing today and it seems in the latest dev build this still does not work. Can you confirm? Or am I doing it wrong?

Yes, just add a sound on death like you would a drop, eg.

# Grim Reaper  
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: skeleton@wither!!eq:head:jack_o_lantern%0!!eq:hands:stonehoe@!damage_all#1%0!!30h~Grim Reaper
      sound: BLAZE_BREATH/0.5p
      biome: HELL
      potioneffect.drop: [INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1,SPEED@2000000000@1,INVISIBILITY@2000000000]
      chance: 20%

  SKELETON~Grim Reaper:
  - sound: CAT_MEOW   # so cute! :D

(possibly not a cat meow :D)

Alright I finished working on the Grim Reapers (Stronger variant of reapers) but I want to change the sound they play on death, is this possible?

# Grim Reaper  
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: skeleton@wither!!eq:head:jack_o_lantern%0!!eq:hands:stonehoe@!damage_all#1%0!!30h~Grim Reaper
      sound: BLAZE_BREATH/0.5p
      biome: HELL
      potioneffect.drop: [INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1,SPEED@2000000000@1,INVISIBILITY@2000000000]
      chance: 20%

For drops & blaze sounds on the mini-boss I suggest giving it a name, eg. SPIDER~Fred (probably not fred though :D)

Try:

SPIDER~Fred: - action: hit sound: BLAZE_HIT - drop: GOLD_INGOT/2-5/80% SPIDER: # Wither Spider Jockey [MINIBOSS] - action: mobspawn drop: skeleton@wither!!45h!!eq:head:ironhelmet%0!!eq:chest:ironchestplate%0!!eq:legs:ironleggings%0!!eq:boots:ironboots%0!!eq:hands:ironsword%0~Fred^spider@100h chance: 100%

(note: for some reason at the moment the name needs to be on the first creature and applies to both. Eg. skeleton^spider~Fred does nothing but skeleton~Fred^spider calls them both Fred. I will be trying to fix this so eventually you can name each independently, if wanted).

Sorry about the excessive replies I just need to get this done by tomorrow for an Ultra Hardcore match I'm hosting.

I made a mini boss but I want it to drop awesome loot on death without it holding the loot how would I do that?

SPIDER: # Wither Spider Jockey [MINIBOSS] - action: mobspawn drop: skeleton@wither!!45h!!eq:head:ironhelmet%0!!eq:chest:ironchestplate%0!!eq:legs:ironleggings%0!!eq:boots:ironboots%0!!eq:hands:ironsword%0^spider@100h chance: 100%

@ZariusT

Everything seems to be working except I keep having this weird issue. Whenever the customized mob spawns, it spawns another mob along with it. Why is it doing this?

    ZOMBIE:
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: zombie@eq:head:116!!eq:hands:stick@!knockback#2%10!!50h

      chance: 0.5%
    - action: mobspawn 
      drop: zombie@baby!!10h
      potioneffect.drop: INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1
      chance: 10%
    SKELETON: 
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: skeleton@eq:head:397:1%0!!eq:legs:leatherleggings@black%0!!eq:boots:leatherboots@black%0!!eq:hands:fire@!fireaspect#1!!25h
      potioneffect.drop: [INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1,SPEED@2000000000@2]

      drop: witch

@Dersheimer

Yes, enchanted_book@!damage_all#3 attempts to "enchant" the book as you would enchant a weapon. Where !<name> relates to an enchantment, @<name> relates to a data value so enchanted_book@damage_all gives the book a datavalue of "damage_all" which is supposed to store the enchantment, I'll test this again tonight to make sure nothing broke.

@IamChaoz

You're right. I'll need to break "use_unsafe_enchantments" into two separate settings - currently it lets you use enchantments on non-weapon/armour things like cactuses & other blocks however also allows for any type of enchantment on tools/armour which causes random to choose sometimes useless enchantments (btw: does the aqua affinity on a pickaxe actually help you underwater?). I'll look into this later.

Oh, and if use_unsafe_enchantments isn't in your config it's possibly because it's an older config - I'm looking into options to automatically update the config file non-destructively but for now you can generate a new one in the latest betas by renaming your existing otherdrops-config.yml file.

@CommodoreAlpha

I haven't forgotten your problem :) Looked into it briefly but haven't identified the cause yet. Will continue to look tonight.

I'm using 2.8b.542, and I'm trying to get enchanted books to drop.

With

- drop: enchanted_book@!damage_all#3

a book does drop, but it has no enchantments on it.

The example in the release notes has

/odd enchantedbook@damage_all

and this command also drops an enchanted book with no enchant on it.

This

- drop: written_book@author="Richard":title="Hello":page="Stuff":page="More Stuff"

works great and I'm loving it, but I'd sure like to know how to drop enchanted books.

Thankee

What if I wanted to give the Undead Miner either a iron or diamond pickaxe with a random pickaxe enchant as a special drop? Whenever I give the pickaxe a random enchant it just gives it a useless enchant like protection 2 or aqua affinity

Sorry for asking in time where you seem pretty busy, but is there any news as to what the nature of the error I posted before is? (Possibly configuration or something else?)

Here's the error that I posted before.

No, shouldn't be that high. Other timings I've seen have it less than World Guard. Can you send me ( pm or email is fine ) a copy of your OtherDrops folder?

@monster6286

Howdy, will try and get that page up soon.

@pongleung

I'll try and test that out tonight.

@IamChaoz

Yeah, YAML configuration requires each of the targets (ZOMBIE:) to be unique otherwise they get overwritten. Simple solution though - just get rid of the extra "ZOMBIE:" lines, eg:

otherdrops:
    ZOMBIE: 
    #### Cactus Man
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: zombie@eq:head:cactus@!thorns#10%0!!eq:chest:leatherchestplate@green%0!!25h
      biome: [desert,desert_hills]
      potioneffect.drop: INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1
      chance: 25%

    #### The Undead Miner
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: zombie@eq:head:goldenhelm!!eq:hands:pickaxe@!random!!50h
      potioneffect.drop: [INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1,SPEED@2000000000@2]
      chance: 5%
      height: "<40"

    #### Pumpkin Zombie
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: zombie@eq:head:jackolantern!!eq:hands:pumpkin@!random!!eq:leggings:leatherarmor@#F87217!!50h
      potioneffect.drop: [INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1,SPEED@2000000000@2]
      chance: 5%

    SKELETON: # Fire Elemental
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: skeleton@eq:head:397:1%0!!eq:legs:leatherleggings@black%0!!eq:boots:leatherboots@black%0!!eq:hands:fire@!fireaspect#1!!25h
      potioneffect.drop: [INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1,SPEED@2000000000@2]
      chance: 1%

I like those examples by the way - hope you don't mind if use them in an example config for OtherDrops.

To whomever asked: legs equipment should work with legs, leggings or legplate (I'll add "leg" as an alternative too).

Alright here's my main issue, I want to be able to naturally spawn 2 different types of zombies in different biomes but have tried the { and [ function and it doesn't seem to be working. All the other spawns work except The Undead Miner it just seems like the Cactus Man overwrites it.

otherdrops:
    ZOMBIE: # The Cactus Man
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: zombie@eq:head:cactus@!thorns#10%0!!eq:chest:leatherchestplate@green%0!!25h
      biome: [desert,desert_hills]
      potioneffect.drop: INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1
      chance: 25%
    ZOMBIE: # The Undead Miner
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: zombie@eq:head:goldenhelm!!eq:hands:pickaxe@!random!!50h
      potioneffect.drop: [INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1,SPEED@2000000000@2]
      chance: 5%
      height: "<40"
    SKELETON: # Fire Elemental
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: skeleton@eq:head:397:1%0!!eq:legs:leatherleggings@black%0!!eq:boots:leatherboots@black%0!!eq:hands:fire@!fireaspect#1!!25h
      potioneffect.drop: [INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1,SPEED@2000000000@2]
      chance: 1%

@IamChaoz

Ah, have you set unsafe_enchantments to true in the config file? Otherwise that's an invalid enchantment.

You can set multiple mobs and set the drop chance as per below:

otherdrops:
    ZOMBIE:
    - action: mobspawn
      drop: [zombie@eq:head:cactus@!thorns#10%100!!eq:chest:leatherchestplate@green!!30h,
               zombie@eq:head:cactus@!thorns#10%70!!eq:chest:leatherchestplate@richred!!30h,
               zombie@eq:head:sand@!thorns#10%90!!eq:chest:leatherchestplate@black%20!!30h,
               zombie@eq:head:ironhelm@!thorns#10%30!!eq:chest:leatherchestplate@green%40!!30h]
      biome: desert
      potioneffect.drop: INCREASE_DAMAGE@2000000000@1

The "%30" at the end of the items is the drop chance (eg. 30%) for that item of equipment. The [ ] brackets is an "AND" list so will drop all of those together. Use { } brackets if you want it to drop only one of the options.
