Make anything drop anything, anyhow!

New 2.8-beta 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.

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.

    @elyssah: Go

    I don't believe it does, if it does though it would be using the biome ID and not the name of the biome. Would be a great addition for OD though.

    Another question for you ZariusT

    Does Otherdrops recognize custom biomes from TerrainControl?

    owh, sorry, I think I misread the "Further Documentation"

    @CommodoreAlpha: Go

    You can using "drop: nothing" - eg.

      GLOWSTONE:
  - tool: [WOOD_PICKAXE@!SILKTOUCH, etc...]
    drop: nothing
  - tool: [WOOD_PICKAXE@!SILKTOUCH, etc...]
    drop: glowstone

    It has to be in two sections are the moment as "drop: [nothing, glass]" is broken - I'm working on that. Also trying to get ANY_PICKAXE@!SILKTOUCH to work.

    Yeah, the automatic loot increase is tricky which is why it hasn't been done yet :) There would be a config option for deciding on the multipler that should apply.

    You could try "drop: DENY" along with action: LEFTCLICK or RIGHTCLICK.

    Tried falling blocks previously and it crashed the server :\ I'll look into it again though sometime soon as I imagine there's some cool stuff you could do.

    Yeah, post me a ticket - these comments tend to get lost as they are hard to search on BukkitDev, and thanks for the suggestions :)

    @Cultist_O: Go

    Sounds cool :) I'm looking forward to the changes from 1.6 and will start work when it's release and a Bukkit alpha/beta version for it is available.

    @Taylorwood: Go @ZariusT: Go

    In the latest MC snapshot they started adding functionality for status effect items through NBT tags, I imagine therefore, that adding drop functionality for these sorts of items will become fairly easy.

    Is there an option to have silk-touch drops generated by OtherDrops and/or Vanilla MC completely cancel out all other drops generated by the same tool without the silk touch enchantment?

    The "automatically increase loot for Fortune/Looting" idea is a good, but potentially complicated idea. How exactly might it work? Will it multiply the non-enchanted version of a tool's drops by some constant based on the Fortune/Looting level? (And if it does do this, it should only look at the drops from the completely non-enchanted version of the tool with a damage value of 0.)

    Also, this is a weird suggestion, but could you add a specific feature for the Dragon Egg to "not teleport" upon right/left clicking? I want people to be able to obtain a dragon egg by left/right clicking it with a certain item, but that won't work if it teleports around.

    Speaking of dragon eggs, which is a falling-block-entity, could you add support for falling-block-entities? This again has to do with dragon eggs; I don't want people to be able to use the magic "have a piston push the egg onto a torch" trick. You could have it so that when the egg lands, it will replace the block it lands IN (not on) with itself. But if this is too difficult or unfeasible, you could always just make it so that the dragon egg drops nothing when it lands on some transparent block.

    Should I post my "trapped chest" idea, along with these ideas as tickets, so you won't forget?

    @TjustinD: Go

    IN_MOB_ARENA sets the section to occur only inside a mob arena (with the MobArena plugin) - is this how you're trying to use it? Is OtherDrops correctly detecting MobArena (you'll see in the messages at startup)?

  • Avatar of TjustinD TjustinD May 23, 2013 at 23:47 UTC - 0 likes

    I configured my files to make lightning strike whenever a player hit a mob/player. It works, but when I add "flag: [UNIQUE, IN_MOB_ARENA]", it stops working :\

    @elyssah: Go

    Not possible yet although I'm thinking about adding a trigger for plant growth, after which it will be possible.

    @Armyof6678: Go

    Yeah, you have to configure fortune rewards manually at the moment - automatic increases (as an option) for looting/fortune enchantments is in the todo list :)

    @TjustinD: Go

    There's no errors folder per se - any errors would be sent to the console (and subsequently logged to the server.log file).

    O_o Where do we find the errors folder?
