OtherDrops
Make anything drop anything, anyhow!
Minecraft 1.7 features (click)!!
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)
- Install & setup first custom drops

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.
- Faldonboy & Steelsouls: currently maintaining and improving the documentation.

Thanks for that answer, I'll keep anything else related to that in the ticket.
...I already have another question, don't hit me please!
Could it be that the dyeing of sheep can't be disabled the normal way, you know, like:
?
If so, I've already come up with a workaround to disable it, but I want to be sure before I do that (because it's kind of more longish and complex).
Or am I doing something wrong here? It won't even show a message if I add one.

Posted Jul 24, 2013If I specify any mob to drop "CONTENTS", will they drop their "inventory"? This "inventory" refers to the ones that zombies/skeletons/pigzombies have for carrying items, but apparently all mobs have this type of one-item "inventory," not just those three mobs.
The reason I'm asking is because a plugin called MonsterEffects allows you to have mobs "steal" items, and I'd like to ensure that they drop whatever was stolen via this plugin.

Blocks do not retain data of any kind, only functional blocks(chests, hoppers, etc) do.

Damn, you're right, I hadn't even thought of that... now as you said it, I'm not sure if blocks do retain their name in the world (as, when placed)... they have the default name when you pick them up again, so probably not (except chests, which indeed do retain it, but that's a feature I think). :/
To be sure, I'll file a ticket, maybe Zarius can shed some light on that, but if it isn't possible, then I'd really need something else. There's got to be some sort of block data that is retained, other than the data value... Mojang, why are you always making it so difficult for us?
EDIT: Ticket #280 created.

Is it possible you could tell me why this doesn't work? The lore is set and I've tried various items now so this is one of the basic examples:

Scroll-clicking the tab you were writing your comment in (which closes it) is also just as bad. We all have those moments. :P
The cauldron data-value limitation issue is most likely an issue of vanilla Minecraft. Also, I thought that blocks which exist in a physical form (within the world, as opposed to inside the player's inventory) do not hold any name/lore-related NBT data, because it's not "needed". That could be wrong though. If this is the case, Zarius can do nothing about it, but if it's not the case, it's definitely a plausible feature for him to add, provided he didn't add such a feature in already (I can't find any docs on it myself).
A great question to ask Faldon or Zarius though. :P

Posted Jul 24, 2013Great, accidentally pressed the back key and my browser jumped a page back and erased my comment.
Ok, here's the short version:
I wanted to add functionality to the Cauldron, and I need a lot of data values for that. But it seems that the Cauldron only supports data values up to 14, for anything higher, it just reverts to 14. 12 usable data values (Cauldron@3, which is a full Cauldron, to Cauldron@14) is not even remotely enough for me (for example, I was adding wool coloring via adding dye to the Cauldron, even just that is already too much for only 12 data values).
My problem could be solved if I did it via lore names instead (giving the Cauldron, when replacing it via "replacementblock", a unique lore name, and then check for that lore name instead of the data value), but it seems currently you can't check for the lore name of the block you're interacting with, only for the lore name of the tool you're using.
Does anyone have another idea how I could solve that problem? Would it maybe be possible to implement that functionality (checking for the lore name of the block) into OtherDrops? Or is it already possible and I missed that part in the documentation?

Posted Jul 24, 2013Hej guys, i have two question about this plugin to you.
1. Is there any way to make special armor or legs that will automicaly active some kind of enchant on player who wear it?
for example Armor with enchant speed2 and when player put it on himself then i get extra speed for xxx time?
2. Is there any kind of enchant commend that will allow me to get full food bar by "right click"? For example: some kind of magic sword that allow me to get full food bar when i click right click (when i hold it in hand ofc).

There is the complete thing, under ENDERMAN: there is the end skeleton stuff (replaces some enderman spawnings in the end with END SKELETONs.
Under SKELETON@60h: is everything about the END SKELETON drops and stuff.

"drop: NOTHING" _should_ work (ie. override default drops) regardless of the "loot overrides default" config setting. I'll look into your particular case as soon as I can.

drop nullification doesnt work from monsters or something, I have tried everything to remove the default drops from skeletons etc... I have skeleton named "End Skeleton" and it only spawns in end with the endermans, it drops arrows,bones and bows and i dont want those to drop BUT i dont want to remove ALL DEFAULT DROPS via config since then i'd have to make every single piece of mob and make their drops myself there in the config.
My config shows the armor drops, its in the End Skeletons items what it equips... there is % of dropping those items but theyre always almost broken but it just doesnt show this in the pastebin because i left that part out on purpose.

Your "drop nullification" thing looks right. I'm not sure if negating a drop group like this:
...currently works. If it doesn't you have to specify all the tools individually. For your attackrange, you might have to tweak it a bit, because I'm sure people can punch a cactus block from slightly more than two blocks away. Just keep tweaking at it until your happy. Also, don't forget to specify the "HIT" trigger, if you want people to be poisoned when they punch the cactus with a non-tool item. Other than that, it looks fine.
What exactly do you mean by "End Skeleton"? Did you mean a "Wither Skeleton"?
To cancel out vanilla drops, I believe you have to set the "override-drops" option to "true" within the configuration. Otherwise vanilla drops will still drop.
I have no idea what could be causing your armour issue. Your paste shows no armour drops, so I can't really help you there until you provide a more "complete" paste of your drops. Sorry. :/
@Faldonboy
Thanks for clearing up the confusion. :)

Cooldowns are applied to whoever triggers the drop/event.
Added an example for pset.hunger(use xp/speed/exhaustion in the same way) and took an example of cooldown from one of my configs. You can find them on the 2.8 beta-page found here

Is "cooldown" also usable without specifying a player? So, it automatically assigns the cooldowns to the players that trigger the drop? If so, could you give an example for that?
Also, when you've got the time, some documentation on "pset" would be very nice. ;)

If that even works it would still be an alias, better to use the actual Bukkit name when possible.

Are there any warnings in console when you reload OtherDrops? If you see something about an invalid mob name or biome name that would be the cause. I don't see anything wrong with it though. Try switching MOOSHROOM to MUSHROOM_COW. Mooshroom is just an alias and it might be having an issue with it.
