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)

Further documentation

Lorename, Heroes (class & level) conditions
Cooldowns

Actions

Ideas

Give leaves various chances of dropping apples, sticks, cocoa beans, saplings, etc on break and/or leaf decay.
Make glass, stairs, and boats reclaimable (can be tool-specific if you wish).
Allow gold and iron to be mined directly into ingots with a golden pickaxe.
Allow users to right-click on cobblestone with vines in hand to turn the cobblestone mossy.
Nerf mob traps by disabling drops from environmental damage.

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.

Thanks

K, so I have a few things to say/ask so excuse the post if it's really long please

Is there any way to set a cooldown between drops? I've checked over everything and didn't see anything related to cooldowns. If there isn't is there any chance this could be added in the future?

Not sure if this is possible already or not either but is there a way to set the "action" to something like "walk_over" or "walk_on/off" so the drop activates when you walk over/on/off the block in question

Is there a way to make it so a potion effect activates when you break/hit something? Say I wanted a 10% chance for a spider to cause blindness effect if you attack it with your fists.

Your last release beat me to my last question :P (consume tools not taking the final one)

Thanks for the report - I've found the problem (it continued to load Vault after determining that Vault wasn't there) and fixed it locally - will be in the next build.

I had an issue with OtherDrops not loading properly, due to it not finding Vault. I don't have Vault on my server, as I don't use any economy system. 2012-03-21 13:07:24 [SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling OtherDrops v2.6-pre1 (Is it up to date?)

Yeah, that should work fine - I'll need to test it out to see if something's broken.

@Chromish

Hmm, a cooldown parameter would be tricky - probably would need to be global (as in apply to anywhere that you use cooldown:). I'll keep it in mind though as it's been mentioned before and does seem quite useful.

Could you add a "cooldown:" parameter? I have a healing sponge block on my server, but people spam healing and it gets annoying. Danke!

Can't get this to work, I've been under the impression that consumetool works on anything you have the tool set to, is this incorrect or is this a bug? using 2.6-pre1

it works fine up until it's supposed to take the fish away, the cat spawns just fine...

ANY_BLOCK: - action: RIGHT_CLICK tool: RAW_FISH/10 drop: OCELOT@BLACK_CAT consumetool: 10

The 2.5 versions should work fine in R-8. Let me know if there are any problems.

Firstly regarding the seeds - you'll get the default drop if none of the other conditions match unless you add "- action: left_click, drop: nothing" lines somewhere.

Random events is tricky - unless there's already a bukkit event (eg. breaking a block, etc) it needs to run on a repeating timer to keep checking if a condition is met. This is outside the scope of OtherDrops however keep an eye out for a remake of iGrow which may be able to do this.

Thanks for the report. Fixed the first error (it was due to Vault loading successfully but failing to load it's economy module for some reason) and the second issue has been fixed locally (it's due to an error whilst reading "PLAYER" drops).

not leaf decay but like a chicken laying eggs randomly an event where you don't have to directly interact with something to get a drop.

on another note do you know why Im still getting seeds as drops?

  Long_Grass:
    - action: Left_click
      tool: Air
      drop: Nothing
      Weather: rain
      replacementblock: Brown_Mushroom
      Message: Found a Mushroom!
      chance: 5

    - action: Left_click
      tool: ANY
      toolexcept: Any_Sword
      drop: DENY
      chance: 75
      
    - action: Left_click
      tool: Any_sword
      drop: This
      
    - action: Left_click
      tool: Any
      toolexcept: Any_Sword
      drop: Nothing

The player in radius bit is not really possible. You're talking about leaf decay? Here's an example:

otherdrops: LEAVES: - action: leaf_decay drop: apple/1/5% time: dawn region: [landofapples] # optional region?

anyway you can add an extra drop trigger where it can auto drop if the conditions are met? so lets say at dawn I want a 5% chance of leaves dropping apples in set region maybe even add an extra condition where its only triggered if the player is in a set radius

Odd, I can't see what's changed that might cause that error. Do you get the error with version 2.5 as well as 2.5.1? Can you send me a copy of your config/drops file?

I only have Mobs dropping default and money on deaths. Yes it works, it just randomly errors out with that it it increasingly gets worse. I reverted from 2.5.1 to 2-5-beta2 and it works fine now.

<<reply 602777> Try this perhaps?

Zombie: - drop: default - drop: gold_nugget/1-9/50%

@Jadedwolfs Thanks, will look into that one later. I can tell it's due to a PLAYER drop not loading properly so if you've got time for testing then removing that player drop should allow it to continue loading.
