Could you please update replacetool so that it accepts all types of data? I'm glad this plugin is still up and running. No server should be without it.

EDIT: - The console can get spammed if using "replacetool" a lot. - consumetool doesn't work if the item is being eaten.

If you want to see my last Post

EDIT : Okay I tried again like this :

COAL_ORE@1: - tool: ANY_PICKAXE drop: INK_SACK@23!~Cobalt quantity: 1-2

It seems to work very well but I don't have the custom name of the item yet.

The item I drop have the name "Bone Meal" instead of "Cobalt". Where is the error ?

I tried again with an item which doesn't have metadata value : the drop have his name in uppercase.
59@8: - drop: 296@!~Malt quantity: 1-2

returns an item called "MALT" and not "Malt". :/

EDIT2 : Drops on named mobs or specific region both don't work. (I use Bukkit for 1.7.9)

@Nokaaj

This definitely sounds plausible. Not being a moderator I wouldn't be able to give you a final say-so, but from my experimentings with the plugin, it sounds like it should work. The plugin would just respond when that block was destroyed and act accordingly. The best way to find out would be to try it :)

Also the word you're looking for is not "damage value" of 1, but 16:1 = block 16 with a "metadata" of 1.

Hi ! Is it possible to use this plugin to create different drop from an unexistant block ? I mean, if I choose for example, the bloc 16:1 (which mean the coal ore with the damage value 1) and transform his texture with a texture pack, can I choose to obtain a custom item when I destroy it ? (like 351:17 which will be cobalt and named cobalt) ?

If not, I read it's possible to use custom taged Item (name / enchant ...) to have different drop when using it. Is it possible on blocks ? And can those blocks drop a custom Item (name and data value again, like my example before) ?

Thank you in advance !

There may be a different way to do this. But, I'm thinking you can do it so the block the player mines doesn't drop anything but instead the server issues a command such as: /give %p item_name to put it into their inventory. That of course would also depend on them actually having enough space in their inventory for the item.

@DarkGalaxy

I think you mean that you want the block to not drop anything? If so, you can just turn the default drop off in the config and maybe set the block to drop air? Or I seem to recall a placeholder called NOTHING I think? I may be making things up but you can try that :P

When players place the block down and break it. It still works. Is there any way to turn that off?

Hi ! Thanks for your plugin, this is an amazing work.

I'm sorry to bother you... I have a little issue with the fishing probabilities (I want to loot custom fish, with later different loots for each "level" of fishing rods...).

When I try to catch some fish, a lot of loots are what I expect, but I sometimes get vanilla loots despite my configuration.

There are my current lines :

PLAYER: - tool: 346@0-34~§fBasic rod;§6Text;§6Text. drop: { 349~§fBasic Fish;§6Text;§6text/1/85%, 349@2~§fClownfish;§6Text;§6Text/1/2%, 349@3~§fGlobefish;§6Text./1/13% } trigger: FISH_CAUGHT weather: CLEAR flags: UNIQUE chance: 95 message: §bI got one ! - tool: 346@0-34~§fBasic rod;§6Text;§6Text. drop: { 261@300~§fOld bow;§6Text/1/100% } trigger: FISH_CAUGHT weather: CLEAR flags: UNIQUE chance: 5 message: §bI got one ! ..eh...

With this line in the config file

loot_overrides_default: true

I probably made a mistake, but.. where ? :'( I spent so much time on that problem...
I think it could be because of the chance parameter, but how can I set several categories (fishes, treasures, etc) with different chances of drops without this extra vanilla loot ?
Would you know how to fix it ?

Another question : can I set a drop on a mob with a custom name ?

Thanks again for your work. Have a nice day ! :)

That's on ZariusT's side, not mine. I'm just helping out with customer service.

@kev3200

If "ANY_ITEM" hasn't worked for you, I'll try some testing myself. Hopefully I can get back to you soon.

@MrCobayo

Well, even though I'm supposed to do the diagnosis, I would like to ask you: what do you think the "unrecognized target" is? Are you running any mods? Perhaps you tried to have OtherDrops work with mod-mobs, and it doesn't quite recognise those yet for some reason.

My bad, I worded that edit wrong. I meant to say that the zombie doesn't take damage from my sword or fist. However, it does only drop the gold ingots when I hit it, which is good (not when on fire). Meaning, it takes damage from fire, lava, etc. but not from the player (I also tried bow and arrow).

Hm, that's a little odd. I would have guessed that using PLAYER as a tool would have meant "player hitting entity, no matter what the player uses". Try using "ANY_ITEM" instead of "PLAYER".

Thank for the lengthy reply. It is really great when those who understand the plugin can help us newbies out :)

And because of those new changes you mentioned, I may end up making an updated tutorial video anyways. I'm a little OCD and the original video wasn't really up to the standards I was looking for. If I do, I'll be sure to mention those updates. (I'll also mention not to make an infinite zombie loop...)

EDIT: I put in the config change you posted. The zombie now only takes damage when I hit it (not when on fire, which is good), but he still doesn't take any damage from my diamond sword... Still an infinite gold source.

@Sabbykat

I'm guessing OtherDrops will have to be more compatible with MCPC+'s "dynamic" entity enum. If that makes any sense.

@kev3200

Alright, I finally got around to it. I'm sorry for the long wait.

So, the video is good, but I do want to make a few points. (You don't have to redo the video; it's actually really good for beginners, but I just need to point these out first.)

While it's true every server should have this plugin (totally biased opinion), many people who stumble upon this little jewel are probably already familiar with how to install plugins and set them up. I think you could split the video into one just for installations (for the totally newbie admin), and one as a formal introduction to the plugin.
"loot_overrides_default" and the other overrides will only override a drop IF you've set up configuration for it. Meaning if I set it to true, and configured only pigs to drop something different, everything else will still drop vanilla drops.
Recursory configurations are fun (like your ZOMBIE->PIG->COW example), but (and even though this is somewhat obvious) they should be taken with caution. If you have an event where the a zombie-spawn-event causes another zombie to spawn, you'll be in for a nightmare. I'm not sure if OtherDrops has a built-in protection against that yet.
Those links will be outdated in the near future as I "move" (more like "copy") all the content over to the wiki, so I may redirect those links or something.
Aliases are basically for giving an entity/item another (or multiple names). So if I gave an alias to "STONE_SPADE" and called it "STONE_SHOVEL" both names would work.
The "default:" section is for defining default values. I've no idea what I've just said, but I think it's for defining what "DEFAULT" means for a certain type of drop. I've never used it myself.
(For your other video) I don't know if "LEFTCLICK" works in place of "LEFT_CLICK". It probably does, but I'd rather stay safe and use the latter over the former.

I'll see if I can embed the video on the main page and on the wiki's main page - if not, I'll just link to it with a flashy, bold, red message.

Okay, now to your gold-ingot issue. Your log, perhaps because the problem is more complicated than I thought, or perhaps because it's too short, does not seem to indicate any problems. In fact, it seems to show that your config is working as it should. It is, however, weird that the zombie takes no damage, but perhaps I can still help.

So, when you specify the "HIT" trigger, you also should specify whom the entity was hit by (via "tool:"). As of now, the zombie can get "HIT" by anything, so any form of damage counts as a "HIT". Specify the tool as "PLAYER" if you want the zombie to drop gold ingots ONLY if the zombie is hit by players (any player). Any other form of damage will not drop gold ingots.

And now onto the damage issue. Perhaps it's because OtherDrops canceled the original event that the damage (EntityDamagebyEntityEvent) never passed. I'm not sure what to make of this, and I'm not sure if this is intentional, but try this workaround:

ZOMBIE: - trigger: HIT tool: PLAYER drop: [DEFAULT, GOLD_INGOT] the rest of your config: blah

Basically, I added in "DEFAULT" to the list of "drops". Zombies don't drop anything when they're hit, but this should allow OtherDrops to "pass" the original event. (Or more technically, copy it and add in a gold ingot.)

Thanks for making a video by the way. You went out of your way to thoroughly portray your problem - I appreciate that. ;)

@Anyone else

If I missed your problem/question, please comment again so I can get to it.

Having an issue with OD overriding unbreaking enchantment. The tool takes damage and ignores the enchantment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: No longer a problem. Found the setting I was looking for in the config.yml.

Here's the pastebin page: http://pastebin.com/tpTEdXDZ This was with verbose set at extreme. I placed a zombie using a monster egg and then hit it once with my diamond sword.

And here is a video I made as well that showcases the problem in action: https:www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBDfpmWxb0g
