That depends- do you want to entirely prevent a block from dropping, or do you want the user to be able to collect air? The former is doable (and may already work) but I don't think that Minecraft will allow air to be dropped,

@ttiffom2016

Sorry about that; I misunderstood you. I suspect preciousstones is indeed causing your problem. I installed ChangeSilkTouch with your config alongside preciousstones, and I was able to reproduce your problem with any newly placed coal ore blocks. That is, if I place them using creative mode, they are created as "Sky Cannon" blocks, and are destroyed and drop the same; even with silk touch.

If however I find a coal block in the wild and break that using SilkTouch, everything works as expected. Does this describe your problem? If so I think everything is okay. A bit of a pain to test for rarer blocks, but at least coal is easy.

Hey,

So I think preciousstones is part of the problem (see my answer to ttiffom2016 above) but I don't think it fully explains your problem. I can't read your configuration file correctly as you pasted it.. the wiki formats it strangely and I can't be sure what's going on. Could you please paste it to either http://pastebin.com or http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/ and comment with a link so that I can read it?

I have one guess as to what is wrong right now based on what I can see. If all of the "blockType: num" things are on one line, yaml will not know how to parse them, so it won't be able to determine what it needs to do. I'll be happy to help further if I can see your configuration clearly.

@ttiffom2016

Hey,

So I tried out your config, and it seemed to mostly work for me. The one thing I'll point out is that you have the wrong values for a few things. For example, for the drop for coal ore, you put 173, which is the number for a coal block. I think you really wanted 263, which is the value for coal. I think most of what you want is here: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Data_values#Item_IDs

That said, I did run into a problem pasting it in. I'm not sure if it was because I copied it from pastebin, but it put in tabs instead of spaces. In yml files, you have to use spaces; tabs will not work.

If you continue to have problems, let me know. I suspect you saw nothing in your server console, but if anything in there says ChangeSilkTouch, it'd be useful.

Hope this gets you going!

@ttiffom2016

Hm, a bit strange. Could you toss your config onto http://pastebin.com or something similar? I'll see if I can debug what is happening.

@kdthehun

Afraid you're stuck reloading all plugins or restarting the server for now; sorry.

@ohjays

I can't say I'd ever even seen that mod before this point. I can't say that I've tried it officially, but if it's compatible with craftbukkit I'd think you should be alright. I don't officially support any other mods, but if there's anything else I can do for you, let me know.

This most likely won't need to be updated for 1.4. It hasn't needed any changes in ages; it's a simple plugin that works off of only Bukkit API stuff. Unless Bukkit suddenly decides to do an API breaking change (which is pretty rare nowadays) you'll be fine to use this.

Once we have an RB available, I'll test it and update the supported versions on the existing download, like I usually do.

In short, I haven't tested it yet but I don't expect to see any problems.

@ryvix

The latest source code is in the git repository associated with this project; same as always.

@acaldra55

That's how spawners work in vanilla. This plugin makes no attempt to change that behavior; it just lets you pick them up. If you want that kind of functionality, I'd check out either Creaturebox (not sure if it's still in active development though) or SilkSpawners.
