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)

Hey, I have this config:

CREEPER: - drop: FLINT@1179 quantity: 1 messsage: The creeper dropped a bit of meat, yes?

Now, if I read everything right, no matter how the creeper dies it should drop that item.
When I stab it to death with a diamond sword, it drops it - but does NOT give the message. If I shoot it with a bow, it doesn't even drop anything....

Am I missing something?

Yes, it would let you do for example:

ANY_CREATURE: - drop: DEFAULT # ensure default drop occurs - drop: CANCEL_XP # and cancel the xp drop

I'm still thinking about the enchantments but mostly focused on updated OtherDrops to BukkitR5 (big job) and adding some automated testing to reduce bugs. The problem with the looting/mining efficiency enchantments is that everyone might have different ideas about how they want it to effect their config. At the moment you can use enchantments as a condition for your tools and set up your own bonuses for then (see the enchantments page for more info)

@xBladeM6x

10% chance in addition to the fish or instead of? Just remove the "flags: unique" line if you want the fish to drop too:

PLAYER: - action: fish_success drop: sponge/10% flags: unique

@BobbySoSlo

OtherDrops will attempt to drop whatever is configured - if none of the configured drops succeeed it will drop the default. If you want to ensure the default drop is always overridden you can use "drop: NOTHING" and if you want the ensure the default always occurs (even if something else succeeds) you can use "drop: DEFAULT".

In you example you could get both clay and seeds - you can use "flags: UNIQUE" if you want to make sure you only get that item if it succeeds (ie. if both clay and seed roll a successful chance and seeds is "unique" then clay will not drop). If you wanted a chance of all three you'd need to add "drop: DEFAULT" (with or without a chance).

Please take a while to think about it and then check out the poll on the righthand side on how this should all work.

So it drops it all the time or only when it doesn't drop the other stuff?

I guess I'm having a hard time understanding if it's inclusive or exclusive: Does that definition of dirt drops mean:

Always drops dirt, 2% drops clay and also .5% drops seeds (meaning you could get a drop of all 3)

Or it only will drop one of the 3 items.

Thank you very much, either way this is an amazing plug in and I'll be adding it to my server and maybe taking a look at some of your todo list to see if I can help at all.

It should, yes, still drop dirt. However you can add drop: DEFAULT to make sure it drops the default stuff.

I've been reading through and can't seem to find the answer:

Does OtherDrop replace what is dropped, or does it only add to it?

i.e. you have an example where you alter the drop of a dirt block to potentially drop a seed or a clay ball with a small chance. Will the block still drop dirt all of the time, some of the time or never given the example:

DIRT:

Dirt sometimes drops clayballs when using a spade. - tool: ANY_SPADE drop: CLAY_BALL chance: 2%
Tiny chance of finding seeds (any tool). - drop: SEEDS chance: 0.05%

Since I'm apparently lazy and derp, would you mind telling me how I can make fishing have a 10% chance of getting sponge?

If that would do what I'm asking about (still drop the default loot), then it sounds good.

Are you working on enchantment levels? I'm pretty excited about the possibilities I see with this plugin but I don't want to nerf looting/fortune enchants at all (or make level 1 work as well as max level).

My primary goal at the moment is to add experience when mining and moderately reduce it from mob kills. Many of them have "gone to ground" in their XP-grinder-farms and I want to get them active again. Sitting in a hole, 95% AFK for hours, seems antithetical to the fun that is Minecraft :)

Thanks for the reply.

Not currently possible - I'm thinking about a way to do this. Perhaps by adding a drop: CANCEL_XP?

If I wanted to make skeletons (or all mobs) drop their normal loot but no experience, how would I do that?

Thanks :)

I was looking more for a way to give a half a heart to a player when hit with a melon block by another player. Mainly because of this script.
PLAYER:
- action: LEFT_CLICK
tool: MELON_BLOCK
consumetool: 1
time: NIGHT
drop: MELON
dropspread: TRUE
quantity: 4-9
effect: POTION_BREAK
message: ["BOINK!!!"]

Not sure if damage attacker allows negative values but if it does that would heal. I'll run EXPLOSION_TNT & CREEPER through some more testing (I was aware of creeper being identified as explosion_any but tnt was working last time I checked).

OtherDrops 3.0 will have a redesign that should make it easier for me to add automated testing which will help avoid these "regression" bugs. I'd been planning it for later but with the new Bukkit R5 changes it'll be completed sooner.

I do not see anywhere there is a function to add hearts to a player or heal someone. I see where you can damage attacker, but that's it.

Also is there a way to have an explosion event just be cosmetic(not do block damage), also EXPLOSION_TNT and EXPLOSION_CREEPER events seem to no longer work, only EXPLOSION works.

Thanks

New release 2.4-beta1 (grab it from the github download link whilst it awaits BukkitDev approval).

    add new message variable %v, make variables (%v, %t & %p) return human readable values (eg. arrow instead of PROJECTILE_ARROW@0)
    add same variables to command parameter
    add MONEY@PENALTY (will reduce the attackers funds, doesn't effect the victim) and allow MONEY@STEAL without an attacker (eg. victim falls to death - will lose funds)
    prevent playerinteract events being parsed if player in creative mode
    add endermen=enderman alias
    fix NPE issue with ENDERMAN data that caused the config to fail to load a section containing "drop: enderman"
    fix support for targets as block id (still requires quotation marks surrounding, eg. "120":)
    add /od settings command to show current config settings
    add more MaterialAliases
    add new mobs properly to CommonEntity (fixes issue where BLAZE: drop: SPAWNEGG@THIS didn't work)

@Totenfluch

There's a couple of possibilities:

  DIAMOND_ORE:
      - tool: ANY
        drop: [MONEY/60-80, DIAMOND/1]
        chance: 10%
        message: "Money - and a diamond!"  # you can't use %q here, would just return "1"

or with two messages:

  DIAMOND_ORE:
    - dropgroup: moneyAndDiamond
      chance: 10%
      drops:
        - tool: ANY
          drop: MONEY/60-80
          message: "You got $%q."

        - tool: ANY
          drop: DIAMOND
          message: "You got %q diamonds."

Hey, It's me again^^

I want a Block to drop Money and the destroyed block:

DIAMOND_ORE: - tool: ALL drop: Money quantity: 60.0-80.0 chance: 10 message: ["So many little Diamonds cool! - %q Money"]

Thats my config for now so basicly i want a Player to get the Money + the normal diamond. in one drop but only 1 Diamond 60 - 80 would be too much :P

Is there a Possibility to do that?

Hmm, not sure why the golden_pickaxe bit isn't working however I did notice a few errors in the config - is this your active config? Some sections as numbers (like 122:) likely fail as they need quote marks (eg. '122':).

I've also cleaned up the config a lot (my personal preference for using the condensed drop format) and added a few aliases which I think make it easier to read and easier to modify later. This brings the file size from 1182 lines to 486 (and that's with a bunch of extra comments and spaces). Here's the new version.

Let me know what you think (search for ZAR: to find my comments) and would you mind if I added your config to the optional modules in OtherDrops?
