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.

This should prevent a ender pearl drop:

Sorry for the late reply, but it was about "action: place" and that you could instead use "tool: all" and "action: rightclick". The problem about the second solution is that you want to place a block and are standing where the block would go. The rightclick action is triggered, but no block placed. I could think about restricting block placing with certain things to happen (explode, message, spawn mob, drop, whatever).
In my opinion we really need it and there you have a scenario you asked for =P

Glad you like it. Dropping nothing would be like this:

Any news on the "boat crash" trigger? in debug mode the "tool:" section is just empty when crashing a boat.

Check out OtherMobs as it's planned to do just what you say, and more. A lot of the code (conditions/actions/etc) is shared but I thought it better to have a separate plugin as it's a different concept and it frees me up to do more with both.

This plugin has much more potential than just "stuff dropping other things", just because of it's amazing simple config format.

I was wondering if there was some way to detect when a creature is spawned into the world? For example, a SPAWNED action (instead of, for example, BREAK) to potentially replace/add creatures spawned. That way we could do things such as having certain monsters spawn in certain conditions. Have angry wolves spawn in jungles, iron golems randomly spawning underground (would be amazing if they could be made hostile).

Example:

ZOMBIE: - action: SPAWN height: "<50" drop: IRON_GOLEM quantity: 1 chance: 2

When zombies are spawned underground, they have a chance at spawning an iron golem with them.

Below is an example of what i use as a work around for it not allowing for potion break events or egg break events. Works very well though. because even though they are potion break and egg spawn events, they still have to click on something. (like a block for eggs)
Thus this:
ANY_BLOCK:
- action: RIGHT_CLICK
tool: MONSTER_EGG@63
consumetool: 1
drop: ENDER_DRAGON
effect: GHAST_SHRIEK@20
worlds: Mainworld_the_end
event: LIGHTNING
command: "/fixend"
message: ["&3E&2n&dd&be&4r&f Dragon Spawned, Boss Event triggered!1!11!!!!"]
- action: RIGHT_CLICK
tool: MONSTER_EGG@100
consumetool: 1
drop: ENDER_DRAGON
effect: GHAST_SHRIEK@20
worlds: Mainworld_the_end
event: LIGHTNING
command: "/fixend"
message: ["&3E&2n&dd&be&4r&f Dragon Spawned, Boss Event triggered!1!11!!!!"]

EDIT: One more note you can block both ids, 384, etc with worldguards black list. People forget to use the plugins they already have to there full potential.

i really cant see why you dont allow me to change what the mob Eggs do maybe I want to make them spawn more than 1 at a time or in my case stop them spawning. You already allow us to spawn mobs with other items. my big issue atm is that Exp is transferring maps.

And the bottle of enchantment is not a potion its its own ID. "384"
In my eyes some thing like this should of worked for what i wanted :/ instead now I need to add yet another plugin and bog my server down more :(.

MONSTER_EGG@THIS: - worlds: Creative drop: NOTHING 384: - worlds: Creative drop: NOTHING

O well got to do what you got to do.

Dang, I wrote a response to this yesterday but it didn't post for some reason.

OtherDrops doesn't hook into the potionbreakevent or eggbreakevent so it isn't possible to configure what bottle's o' enchanting and spawn eggs do - here's a plugin that specializes in that though: NoSpawnEggs.

As Jadedwolfs mentioned you can easily configure iron golems to drop nothing, eg:

IRON_GOLEM: - drop: NOTHING worlds: whatever (or ALL)

@ezbik

Ah, I can understand the confusion. "Inside" a dropgroup refers to the "drops" section of it and "outside" refers to the start of the dropgroup, eg:

- dropgroup: blah world: this is outside and applies to the whole dropgroup chance: and so is this drops: - drop: FISH chance: this is inside the dropgroup and only applies to this block - drop: EGG chance: this is inside the dropgroup and only applies to this block

@RustyDagger Use this to have an item drop nothing:
drop: NOTHING
Use this to define worlds:
worlds: Mainworld
I think you can do this so you don't have to define each egg. (don't quote me)
- MONSTER_EGG@THIS - drop: NOTHING

Ahh, I was confused as the "Parameters" page says, "An "action:" parameter determines the means by which the drop event is triggered. (If using a drop group, the action must be placed outside the drop group; this is the only parameter not allowed inside a drop group.)"

I assumed it had to be outside the dropgroup since one was used.

Hey man :D I was wondering if I could get some help Still new to the config :/ What I am wanting to do is Have the bottles of enchantment drop nothing but only in one of my maps (AKA Creative) that way I can still sell them at my shop in the normal map.

I also Need to Stop the Mob Eggs working as players are spawning them killing them and carting the EXP back to my Chaos map and enchanting weapons :/

last but not least I wish to nerf Iron_Golems A tad so that them dieing naturally yields no drops.

@blademaker100

Thanks for the great endorsement! I've thought about adding baby animals in the past but couldn't think of a good reason to add them - this is a good reason so will look into adding that feature.

@ezbik

A few tweaks needed - keep in mind that "actions" needs to be part of the drop or dropgroup they are applying to, otherwise it does nothing. Also keep in mind that you can't have "drop" twice in a single block (each block starts with a dash).

GOLD_BLOCK:  # What they want to buy.
  - dropgroup: sellgold
    action: RIGHT_CLICK # Right click on Gold block with Stick.
    tool: STICK # Tool to use to buy
    drops:
     - drop: [MONEY/-100.00, GOLD_BLOCK] # Subtracts from player cash & drop gold
       message: "You purchased 1 Gold Block for $100." # Prints message.

# Or to 'purchase' untamed Ocelots:

COBBLESTONE:
  - dropgroup: buyocelot
    action: RIGHT_CLICK # Right click on cobblestone with Stick.   
    tool: STICK # Tool to use to sell
    drops:
     - drop: [MONEY/-2.00, OCELOT@WILD] # Subtracts from player cash & drop ocelot.
       delay: 30 # For dramatic effect.
       loc-offset: 4/0/4 # Places it a bit away from the player.
       message: "Ocelot now available for training! You have been charged $2."

@Jadedwolfs

Yeah, lots of good ideas there and I've written some of it already - tricky part is specifying the duration and strength of effect - I'll probably do something like:

  potioneffect: BLINDNESS@50/20 # 50 ticks duration and 20 strength

All Bukkit names for effects are here.

@ZariusT "Chromish (and a couple of others) are asking for potion effects to occur (as if you drank a potion) when you break a block, or say you kill a mob and immediately are blinded, or get increased speed."

This is the best thing I have seen in a really long time. "Break glass, have chance to get blinded by a shard of glass" " Kill powered creeper, get strength"

The list goes on and on. :D

I was thinking of using OtherDrops for a server economy, maybe for block selling, haven't tried it, but I think this would work:

GOLD_BLOCK:  # What they want to buy.
  - action: RIGHT_CLICK # Right click on Gold block with Stick.
  - dropgroup: sellgold
     tool: STICK # Tool to use to buy
     drops:
     - drop: MONEY/-100.00 # Subtracts from player cash.
       drop: GOLD_BLOCK # Drops Gold Block
       message: "You purchased 1 Gold Block for $100." # Prints message.

Or to 'purchase' untamed Ocelots:

COBBLESTONE:
  - action: RIGHT_CLICK # Right click on cobblestone with Stick.
  - dropgroup: buyocelot
     tool: STICK # Tool to use to sell
     drops:
     - drop: MONEY/-2.00 # Subtracts from player cash.
       delay: 30 # For dramatic effect.
       loc-offset: 4/0/4 # Places it a bit away from the player.
       drop: OCELOT@WILD  # Or maybe tamed? Not sure who would own it?
       message: "Ocelot now available for training! You have been charged $2."

I just have to say this is the absolutely best plugin for Bukkit. Keep up the great work. This plugin is so versetile. There is an unlimited number of possibilities. I haven't had so much fun configuring a plugin since I don't know when. Here are a couple of ideas I've come up with.

Why make calls to a money plugin/database everytime someone kills a mob. My mobs drop gold nuggets which I require to be made into gold ingots then gold blocks. My admin shop then buys gold block, reducing the need to add $2 everytime someone kills a zombie.

What to do with all those extra seed? Feed them to chickens. Maybe get another chicken out of the deal. Anybody know how to specify baby chickens?

Protect your animal life. Kill a cow, chicken, or pig at night and small chance of attracting a pack of angry wolves. Better yet just have a new animal spawn several minutes later. No net loss.

Chance of mobs dropping armor, weapons, potions (previously mentioned), or music disks. Your only limited by your imagination. FIVE STARS!!! This plugin is a must.
