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
- Customising mob & block drops
- Customising money & XP rewards
- Customising fishing rewards
- Customising mob spawns
Core Features
- Drop anything!* (*from Bukkit - if it doesn't, let me know)
- Use triggers such as block break, combat, fishing & more
- Conditions to fine-tune your drops such as tool, world, regions, weather, permissions & more
- Add actions including damage, healing, messages, potion effects & more
- Easy syntax allows you to quickly customize drops & rewards for your server
- Future Support

- Apply potion effects to the victim, player, radius, world or server

Ideas
- Give leaves various chances of dropping apples, sticks, cocoa beans, saplings, etc on break and/or leaf decay.

- 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 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: 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.
- CommodoreAlpha: community support on the comments/forum, assisting with documentation.
Many long nights are spent improving OtherDrops so if you like it please consider a donation to my coffee fund :)
- OtherDrops uses Metrics for anonymous usage stats (learn more).
you should add actions "burnable"/"burning" and "explosion"/"exploding" or something like that. Fruitful had that and I hope you'll add it soon, too :)
Another improvement would be that mobs don't simply disappear when dying and instead make them dissolve like in vanilla minecraft. Because in my opinion it looks very strange if the mobs disappear and suddenly there are exp-orbs lying around O.O
hello. using this with CB1509 and beta 8. Getting alot of exceptions in console. For example could not send entity_death to Otherdrops and entity_damage
Regarding logging, I know the code was there to support it, but I believe I forgot to call it. Sorry about that. I'm guessing beta8 fixed that?
Please update, I love this plugin
Any new version expected soon? Would be great, such a superb plugin...
@Lextao
Not sure if ID numbers are supported via tools yet but definitely for drops (eg. drop 6@2 - birch sapling).
@Jadedwolfs
I've added Hawkeye logging support in a Beta8-prerelease in the Bukkit forums but Rugrats noted that it doesn't seem to work yet - could do with more testing though if you've got time. BigBrother/LogBlock logging should have still been working fine...
@Celtic_Minstrel
Will the logging of custom functions be added back by the Full mc version for bukkit? Since this was previously there, shouldn't be too much to ask. :(
well this plugin is simply amazing. I have made dye farms, altars and regrowing wool on sheep.
If you feed sheep wheat, there is a chance it will get its wool back and say Cheers :)
If you go to the server altar, you can stop rain if you sacrifice a Dead bush. There will be a harmless lightning effect and the sacrifice is announced to whole server.
Whenever you harvest wheat you get a random dye as well.
Purely awesome:)
@owenftw
Not sure about the shears yet but try this for the crops:
Shears might be something like this (but not tested at all):
Anybody know how to add these ?
Right click chickens with shears: 2-5 feathers drop and uses up 20% of the shears.
Make all dyes drop from fully grown wheat. but only drops 1 random dye per wheat at a 90% rate.
Hey, I feel like I must be missing something really obvious, but I'm having two issues. First off, I can't get any of my custom yml files to load, and I've added them into the main config file. I'm not getting any errors or anything, they're just not getting added. Secondly, I cannot figure out how to get mobs to not drop their default drops and only drop items I want them to. I've tried adding stuff to other files that do load, and it doesn't seem to do anything even if I restart the server.... Thanks in advance!
Sorry, logging support is one of the things that got lost in the upgrade. It'll be added back when I or Zarius have time... :/
@Celtic_Minstrel Did you add hawkeye logging support yet, and if not when can someone expect this. As I had to disable this plugin till the custom events can be logged. :'(
@Celtic_Minstrel
Well, I removed BigBrother's jar and I'm now getting this like every 10 seconds: http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/4231/
EDIT: Question, instead of using for example: - tool: ANY
can I use an item ID with data value like: - tool: id:data (- tool: 318:1034) This is for using the plugin along with custom items.
Probably an incompatible BigBrother version or something? I dunno. Maybe I should add checks so that it at least doesn't crash.
Emmm, I get this using beta 7:
http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/4204/
@Lextao
Yes works, albeit it has some issues, but nothing related to the CB version.
Beta 8 wru ;)
Is this working with #1337?
@Cultist_O
I'm not sure. There will be, but I'm not sure if there already is a way.
@ Celtic, + Cultist thanks guys works great!
