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)

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.

Actually, another way you could implement this would be to give all players a certain permission (doesn't have to be from an actual plugin you have), then have OtherDrops display the "Congratulations" message for a person who reaches the Nether. Once this happens, you could have another trigger remove that permission from all players.

LOG:
- trigger: BREAK
drop: DENY
tool: ANY

This prevents the breaking of all kind of logs with any kind of tool. If you wish to have only Axes to be able to break the log, then you should add this:

tool: [ANY, -ANY_AXE]

so its any tool minus ANY axe.

I believe this should work:
LOG: - tool: AIR #This is the ID for your fist drop: DENY #Weird, I know, but this should cancel the event entirely. No drops, no breakage, no nothing.

@IamChaoz

You could, but that would require a new (very-out-of-the-way) feature to be requested, then implemented. What the plugin would have to do, is look at the player.dat folder for the world-in-question (for you, it's the Nether). If the folder was empty (no players were on it), then it would probably know to congratulate the first player on reaching the Nether, using a custom trigger.

One caveat with that idea, is that if every player left the Nether, the player.dat file would be completely blank again, so that could fool the plugin. What it would have to do, to circumvent that, would be to somehow save and read from data on each player for a list of worlds they've gone to, so that if a player has already gone to the Nether, the plugin will know not to congratulate them (or send some other message/item/gift/whatever).

It could save the player data on its own... but that would detract from the purpose of modifying and adding dynamics to drops. What the plugin could do is rely on another plugin to do the "save player data" for it, maybe like MultiInv or something.

Or you could circumvent this whole hassle by being smarter than me and finding a super-clever alternative way to achieving this goal. If you do find that alternative way, please do tell me about it. :)

Can this plugin be used to prevent a block breaking as well? I want to change logs on my server to prevent players from breaking them by punching them.

@DancingWalrus I don't know why it is not working since it did work for me... I use this :
- trigger: PLAYERJOIN
message.server: "&l&f[&l&5Owner&l&f] Joined!"
permissions: owner

And the owner rank has this permission node:
- otherdrops.custom.owner

Players who are in rank OWNER & join the game, that message.server will be sent.

@DokuProductions

unfortunately it is not visual drop.

@DokuProductions

If you use a plugin that specifies a certain item to be "turned into cash," it's probably utilising damage values to save data onto the items that drop. For example, in a plugin that turns emeralds into cash, it could possibly be doing something like "EMERALD:5 = $5," etc. If this is the case, you just need to specify that item(s) with the appropriate damage value to drop.

If not, then you should submit a ticket requesting a hook for the plugin you are using. Consult the developer of that plugin for more details.

@Morphiedev

I'm not sure if this will help, but it appears you've forgotten a "@" symbol in your configuration. Trying adding "@" right before the "!" in "DAMAGE_ALL" to see if that will help.

@xBladeM6x

Maybe it's due to the spawn reason that this plugin goes over to spawn customised mobs. Maybe the plugin kicks in when the spawn reason was via a spawn egg, but it doesn't kick in (for some reason) when the spawn reason is something else.

The strange thing is, if I use spawn eggs, they spawn without fail. It's more about the initial chunk spawn is either vanilla for other mobs, or just non existent for my special ones until much later, they will spawn but rarely.

How do I go about making a customized zombie mob I made, completely replace normal zombie mobs 100% of the time? I try doing this:

        - trigger: MOBSPAWN
          drop: ZOMBIE@!!eq:head:leaves%0!!eq:hands:stonesword%0!!eq:chest:leatherchestplate@green%5!!eq:legs:leatherpants@green%5!!eq:feet:leatherboots@green%5!!~&lVahra Hunter
          chance: 100
          potioneffect.drop: SPEED@12000@1
          height: ">30"
          biome: [PLAINS, FOREST, FOREST_HILLS, SMALL_MOUNTAINS, EXTREME_HILLS, JUNGLE_HILLS, JUNGLE, SWAMPLAND]
          world: world
          flag: UNIQUE

But it seems that when I go through the area, there's literally no zombies. Not even regular ones.

Inside drop config:

drop: DIAMOND_SWORD@!LOOT_BONUS_MOBS#3,!DAMAGE_ALL#3

Why is it showing up Looting 1 though I I have it on #3? Also I have unsafe_enchantments: true, ignore_level: true. In another config.

I figured out the tool damage! That works now but, even though I'm getting money for killing mobs, they don't actually drop it. It goes straight to my wallet. I need money to be visually dropped so that other players can pick it up if they helped. Is there a way to set that up?

@CommodoreAlpha I knew how to do what you just said, which is what I tried to avoid and find an easier-quicker solution :D. The way you described it, makes me wanna create another file "Zombie_LootingEnchantment_Drops.yml" and specify all the items in it for this 1 specified enchant, I thought there was a easier solution to that. But if there's not then I'll go with this one.

Thanks for a reply though, also I didn't knew I can do "@!LOOT_BONUS_MOBS#1-3" for more randomness :D

@Morphiedev

The answer is very simple. First, look at the page in the documentation on "Enchantments".

Now replace wherever your configuration looks like this:
ZOMBIE/SKELETON: - tool: SomeBoringOldSword drop: YourDrops

...to something more like this:
ZOMBIE/SKELETON: - tool: AwesomeEnchantedSwordHere@!LOOT_BONUS_MOBS#InsertLowerEnchantLevelHere-InsertHigherEnchantLevelHere drop: YourDrops

And now, swords that you specified, when enchanted with "LOOT_BONUS_MOBS" (and with the level range you specified), will drop what you listed.
