Objects
This page explains the use of "objects." An object is simply some entity which reacts to a trigger (such as its own destruction) and produces some action (such as dropping an item). For a detailed list of available triggers and actions, see the Parameters page. For syntax tips, see the Drop file page.
Valid Objects
The following table shows which entities can be used as objects (and with which "action:" values). Objects can be specified with embedded data values.
| BREAK | LEFT_CLICK | RIGHT_CLICK | LEAF_DECAY | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Most blocks | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| AIR block | No | No 3 | No 3 | No |
| LEAVES block | Yes 1 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Water, Lava blocks | No | No | No | No |
| Most items | No | No | No | No |
| Vehicle items | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| PAINTING item | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Creatures | Yes 2 | Yes | Yes | No |
1 This only applies when the leaf is broken through means other than natural leaf decay.
2 This applies when the creature is killed.
3 This feature is planned for a future release.
The meaning of the "tools:" parameter changes depending on the action used; see Tools for more info.
Special Values
- ANY / ALL
- Use to indicate the drop parameters apply to every possible entity (!).
- PLAYER
- Use to control what all players drop on death (generally in addition to their inventory; see Drops).
- PLAYER@<name>
- Applies to a particular player only.
- PLAYERGROUP@<groupname>
- Applies to all players in a particular permissions group.
- ANYBLOCK except
- Use to indicate all blocks except the ones specified. eg:
ANYBLOCK except [FURNACE, WORKBENCH]: - drop: DIAMOND
Multiple Objects
Presently, it isn't possible to specify multiple objects in brackets (as can be done with tools and drops); each object must be specified separately or within an appropriate group synonym. To streamline your drop file, however, you may consider using aliases and/or drop groups.
