OtherDrops
Make anything drop anything, anyhow!
Minecraft 1.7 features (click)!!
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.

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

Dev builds are available on the main page above :) Here's a link: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-mods/otherdrops/#w-color-276304-dev-builds-color
@semirotta
Close but a couple of errors there. I can see what you are trying to do with DEFAULT@!~Raw Tuna however I'm unfortunately not always able to tell via Bukkit what the default drop is so you do need to specify the item yourself, eg. RAW_FISH@!~Raw Tuna.
The RAW_CHICKEN issue is because the target should be the one doing the eating (the player) and the tool is the item being eaten, eg:

Could you aid? I want this to happen: Fishing rod catches fish and gives you a fish named Raw Tuna and has small chance to spawn squid and Raw Tuna. Failure brings Wet Boots (leather boots)
the @!~ is not working at all, no lore is changed. Read about it here http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-mods/otherdrops/pages/parameters/
Also Neither of these options work: http://pastebin.com/RPkHaAET
It keeps saying unrecognized target (skipping): RAW_CHICKEN

Not as out-of-scope as you think :)
Since I already had to deal with cancelling events to customise the block break drops this feature is already there, although not quite as obvious as "event: CANCEL".
If you add "drop: DENY" instead of the event: cancel line it should work as you are describing.

This is quite a weird request (it's very out-of-the-scope of this plugin's purpose), but could you add some sort of "CancelEvent" parameter? Here's an example if what it can look like:
What this example would do, is if you right clicked any block, including air, with an Eye of Ender that has a damage value of "1", any event that might, will, or should happen will be canceled hands-down, no exceptions. Why do some events need to be canceled? Well...
Once in awhile, you'll meet a very meticulous server admin who exploits some things Mojang left over, and in this case, it would be me exploiting damage values to create "new items." However, these items with alternate damage values still retain the behaviours of the original item; for example, right clicking with an Ender Pearl, regardless of damage value, will throw it. To make these "new" items distinct from their "original counterparts," I would like to cancel out what they normally do, because frankly, if the newer counterpart is more expensive to make, it's not worth using it when the normal version can get the job done.

Unfortunately I can't help without an example of the config you're trying to use and the version of OtherDrops you are using.
@ShadowCat13
Yeah, currently need to manually customise the drops yourself. Considering some sort of global multipler you could set for looting enchantment.

Glad you got it working :) Messages inside the droplists is planned but not yet possible (will eventually be <item>/<quant>/<chance>/<message>).
Yes, /1/100% is a little redundant as they are the default values - personal preference as to whether you want to specify them or not.
Yeah, the percentage example you posted below would work but keep in mind that by default it's multiple dice, eg.
This would first roll a die for the rawchicken/feather/egg list and if it's 50/100 or lower it'll then roll a die for each item in the list.
It then continues to the second section (diamond/emerald) and rolls another die, if that's 20/100 or less then it runs any actions (eg. message) & rolls for the individual items.
So it's possible to get both diamond and raw_chicken in the example above. If you want only one or the other you need to add flags: UNIQUE to both sections (that'll cancel out any other sections for that target (CHICKEN:).

Posted Jun 10, 2013All right, so we finally got the drop arrays working. I was writing them similarly to that, but something was wrong with the file I think. After some fiddling I got them to drop correctly.
Now, I'm wondering if they can be customized further? For instance, within that drop group, is there a way to have a message print if a low percentage drop occurs? I know you can do it with individual drops (the 'choose one or the other' type set-ups), but is it possible to nest it inside these arrays?
For instance, with a chicken file that's like this, would I be able to add a message to the gold nugget somehow? (and btw, is the 100% on the 1 chicken redundant?)
I was also wondering if it's possible to add a percentage on that particular array of percentages... So like, you could have that group of drops be a 50% chance of being chosen from, then maybe have a SECOND group of drops that has a 50% chance of being chosen from, then there would be another array of drops within that group.
So I guess I'm wondering if something like this is possible, or if there's a better way to write it, or if this is correct: (just repeated the drop array for the sake of example)
Again, sorry for all the questions. I'm really new to this sort of thing and it can hurt my head XD

That way would make sense too but currently it's as a drop, eg: drop: [RAW_BEEF/1-2/10%, XP/5]

Thanks CommodoreAlpha :) One thing to watch though (and @ShadowCat13 - pay attention too) - can't use [DEFAULT, drops, etc] due to a bug. You need to put default at the end, eg. [GOLD_NUGGET/1/5%, DEFAULT].
Yeah, you'd need to override the zombie drops & add exactly what you want to the drop-list if you just want to increase the chance and not the quantity.
@ShadowKillerx
Yeah, I noticed that issue - fixed in the latest dev build. Not quite ready to release a new beta yet.
@prozzenn
Unfortunately not possible with OtherDrops yet, I think there is a "canPickUp()" flag for mobs though so a plugin to cancel that should be possible (might look into adding it to OtherDrops somehow).
@IamChaoz
Ah, that sucks, tried the latest dev build? (let me know what version you have the issue on).
@medullaman
Ah, will test that out later.

For all of the questions you just asked, you can use brackets [] for that. Here's an example that should help you write your drops (because I don't know how exact you want it to be).
The brackets essentially means "Consider all of them," rather than "Choose one of them based on percentage." Here, a sheep, when killed by any form of damage, 1-2 pieces of raw beef at a 10% chance, drop a leather at a 10% chance (That doesn't mean leather always drops when raw beef does!), and drop whatever vanilla Minecraft tells it to drop. The "DEFAULT" is necessary if you turned on "drops override" in the config.yml.
Here's some more examples for your other questions; they should be similar in nature.

Posted Jun 9, 2013Hi, this is a cool plugin but we are having a little trouble getting it written right. We are mostly trying to add more drops to all mobs. Like making Sheep drop the wool like normal but also have it able to drop some raw beef and leather too. How would we write it so that all had a chance to drop at the same time? Each with a percentage chance?
If on a chicken we wanted gold nuggets as a rare drop added along to what it normally dropped how would we do that? Or if we wanted to up a zombies percentage chance of it normal rare drops?
lol sorry for so many questions.

Posted Jun 8, 2013Hey Z
Is there a way to stop mobs from picking up items? Because atm if there is a mob with an enchanted weapon, and if a player drops a sword in front of him there is a chance that he will pick up that weapon and drop his, and i do not want that to happen, also ive had players complain because sometimes the mob (zombie) will pick up an item and will not drop it when it gets killed (because i've set it so mobs do not drop w/e they are holding), so im just wondering if i could somehow cancel mobs picking up items from the floor.
thanks prozzenn
-EDIT-
btw the first issue was based on what a player told me, i tried it myself and i was not able to do it, but the second issue is still persistent.
