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.

Thanks

Many thanks to these people who helped with OtherDrops:

Cyklo: creator of the original OtherBlocks. OtherDrops is a continuation of Cyklo's original OtherBlocks (2011) plugin.
Celtic Minstrel: many code commits and a major overhaul of the code moving into version 2.0. Moved on to create DropFactory.
Rofang: major update of OtherDrops documentation.
RugRats13: lots of testing and some documentation.

You could give group 1 the permission for the drop, and group 2 the negative permission, like
group1:
- otherdrops.custom.yourperm
group2:
- -otherdrops.custom.yourperm

@deleted_6947223

in your main config, down at the bottom there should be a boolean value for overwriting default drops, you want this set to true.

Would otherdrops be able to do custom block IDs if it were put into a tekkit server?(alter block drops added from buildcraft etc)

Also, on the server I help out on permissions are set up in a weird inheritance setup making permission based drops/events a little hard to handle.How would I set it up if I wanted "Group 1" to be able to get a drop but not have "Group 2" which inherits all of Group 1's permissions be able to get it. I saw a parameter called "Permissiongroups" but was unable to get it to work.

Why does OtherDrops deal damage to the player when one of its events fires? This is my full config:

otherdrops: CREATURE_HOSTILE: - drop: - XP/2

Every time I kill a hostile creature, the extra experience drops as expected, but the player also appears to take damage (the sound and animation plays). No hearts are lost, though. I tried creating other events, such as glass dropping cakes, and the same issues happened.

If a creeper is killed by a skeleton arrow, it drops a music disc, but there is currently 1 music disc unobtainable, I'do like to add it to the drops of a creeper, how can I do that?

Woo thank you! so much less annoying now xD

Following up on the previous tests:
-as far as I can tell messages work
-diamond_sword@all_damage does actually work, the tool causing the drop was the problem
-the delayed pig drop also worked when the tool was changed
-command prefixes work as expected, it was just the command that need changing

Now the remaining problem: hands. I tried to following as tools and none triggered a drop event: AIR, HAND, HANDS, NOTHING, 0

Thank you for the animation fix, and have yourself a great honeymoon!

Hey, I'm the Likeaboss developer. I'm replying to this comment.

I know a solution to this problem, but it would require some work on your side:

First you have to ask Bukkit if Likeaboss is running. It's just one line of code.
If so, and every time an entity dies, you have to check if a boss is tied to it. I don't have a proper API to offer you but there is some simple methods you can use.
Finally, if entity = boss, then do nothing.

This is the easiest way, but probably not the most efficient one, since the boss list will be iterated twice (me too, I verify if the entity is a boss :p). Also you can't alter the drop list.

If you wish to do that I just have to create a new event (BossDeathEvent for example) that will give you the opportunity to modify it just in time.

Tell me if you're interested. I can give you the name of the methods and classes you need.

Edit: I could also use the metadata stuff from Bukkit, you just use a String as a key to retrieve a value tied to an entity, for example if it's a boss from Likeaboss or not.

One bug I've noticed; using Mycelium as a replacement block does not work. The block simply breaks and mycelium does not take its place. I've settled for dirt.

i think you'll have to write
CROPS@1-6:
that way it should somehow work though i'm not completly sure of it.

@kw0lf15:
i don't think thats possible with this plugin, the only thing you could do is make the mob drop a spawnegg if you hit it with an egg while consuming it.
though this plug in should be doing exactly what you want http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/eggcatcher/

So finally i have no idea why it doesen´t work. After reinstall alle the plugins every works fine. Maybe a configuration fault on my side.

A little question by the side. Can i set an Object and except some other.
Like this
   CROPS@7:
- tool:  ANY_HOE
drop:  WHEAT
   CROPS except CROPS@7:
- tool:  ALL
drop:  NOTHING

Idea: I want CROPS simply to drop only 1 wheat and never seed.
