Make anything drop anything, anyhow!

New 2.8-beta features (click)!!

Do you want to change what drops when mining or killing mobs? Do you want a simple config with the ability to add more complex drops later?

OtherDrops allows you to add anything from a simple "glass drops glass" to a complex overhaul of your servers drops with drops differing depending on tools, biome, time, weather and much more.

OtherDrops is lightweight (it only acts on what you configure) and respects most protection plugins (eg. WorldGuard, Regios) settings. Many samples are provided that you can enable and customize as you wish, or create your own custom drops, as simple or complex as you like.

Features

  • Supports Bukkit 1.5 (new blocks, mob names, and more)
  • Economy support via Vault (supports all major economy plugins).
  • Customise drops from block breaks, mobs deaths, fishing and more.
  • Intiutive config options with many aliases to work with the way you think (eg. drop a GOLD_HELM, GOLDEN_HELMET or "314")
  • Multiple drop possibilities with chance values down to 0.000000001%.
  • Data values for drops and drop conditions (eg. WOOL@RED, LOG@BIRCH, CROPS@RIPE).
  • Multi-world support and other advanced conditions: tools, regions, biomes, heights, permissions, light-level and more.
  • Configure actions upon successful drops:
    • damage tools, injure player, or reduce the quantity of used items
    • display custom messages (or a list of messages with one selected at random)
    • create explosions, lightning, and other effects
  • Support for many third party plugins (compatibility info)
  • Drop real money items via MoneyDrop.

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.
  • Unleash the zombie apocalypse by setting zombies to drop zombies when they die! (This can be world-specific.)
  • Make mobs that don't normally spawn naturally spawn.
  • Make mob spawning, drops, and events biome specific!

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: Need testers who are available from around 8pm to 1am Brisbane time (+10GMT) and happy to grab a copy of the latest build to check out before a public release is made. 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

    If I make an enchanted tool a required parameter for a certain event to happen, something like "GOLD_PICKAXE@!FIRE_ASPECT#2", will it automatically include all gold pickaxes with a fire aspect level of three and above? If not, could you add some sort of notation to allow this to happen?

    For example, "GOLD_PICKAXE@!FIRE_ASPECT#(2-5) could work. Something along those lines. This example would specify that FIRE_ASPECT levels 2 through 5 will work.

    Another question, if I do this: "tool: [ANY, -GOLD_PICKAXE]", will this also exclude "GOLD_PICKAXE@!FIRE_ASPECT#2"? If it doesn't could you make this the case, and add a new notation, like "GOLD_PICKAXE"? This new notation "" would mean to exclude ONLY that item, and not the enchanted version of that item, though data values should still be ignored.

    With the potential of this plugin, I can see why you'd need three documenters. Right now, I'm having fun overhauling the entire drops system, both mobs and blocks. :)

    @ZariusT: Go

    Yea, the LEAVES are fine... The ITEMSPAWN trigger would be pretty awesome, i see what u did there...

    CHICKEN`Emma: - trigger: ITEMSPAWN drop: {EGG/95%, DIAMOND/5%]

    ENDERMAN: Drop: {DEFAULT/99%, CHICKEN`Emma/1%}

    Chance for a diamond machine??

    @Cliffordlittle: Go

    Ah, so LEAVES@REDWOOD/BIRCH/etc works ok for you now?

    Oh, and I looked into the chicken egg stuff - doesn't seem to be a specific event for that so difficult to do.

    I'm thinking of adding an ITEMSPAWN trigger - could allow for some interesting effects (or denying players dropping certain items) - this might work if I search for a chicken at the same location.

    Not by default, but I would use replacementblock: air to remove the block. you could add the block break sound and whatever item drops you want as well.

    LEAVES@BIRCHWOOD/REDWOOD/JUNGLE aren't working for me when trying to edit what they drop... @GENERIC seems to be perfectly fine...

  • Avatar of CommodoreAlpha CommodoreAlpha May 17, 2013 at 00:00 UTC - 0 likes

    Do "Action-Requirement" parameters like "Right-Click" or "Left-Click" cause the block that is clicked to break? If not, how do I make it break?

    I don't think enchanted books can be enchanted (for the anvil) anymore. I'm going to go through all my drops later today, I'll let you know if I come across anything else. :)
