StrangeWeapons
History
When the ability to give items custom names and descriptions was added to the 1.4 snapshot, the Minecraft subreddit was flooded with various mockups of weapons from other games, such as Borderlands 2 brought into Minecraft. I saw this as an opportunity to make strange weapons from TF2.

How This Plugin Works
Read this if you are confused This plugin aims to duplicate the item and drop systems that are built into TF2. This plugin has nearly all of the same items, strange weapons, name tags, description tags, crates, and keys as TF2 does. It also has a random drop system to go along with it.
What are all these items?
- Strange Weapons is a weapon that tracks a number of statistics, changes it's name based on the value of the primary (first) statistic, and can have a custom name or description.
- Name Tags can be crafted together with a strange weapon to apply the name set with the /tag command.
- Description Tags can be crafted together with a strange weapon to apply the description set with the /tag command.
- Strange Parts are items that can be crafted with a strange weapon to track additional statistics.
- Steve Co. Supply Crates are specially designated crates which contain an item. Crafting this with a Steve Co. Supply Crate Key will open the crate and reveal the item inside. The contents of all crates must be customized with items and their drop weights.
- Steve Co. Supply Crate Keys are specially designated blaze rods which are crafted with Steve Co. Supply Crates to open the crates. Initially, the crafting will only show a "Mystery Item" in the result slot, but as soon as you click on it to uncrate it will change to the real result. See this image for more details.
Suggested Uses
- Reward players for spending time playing on your server.
- Put strange weapons into crates and let crates drop for players. Then sell keys in an admin store, give them as rewards for voting for your server, or as gifts for donations.
- Competitions to see who can kill the most cows, do the most damage, etc in a set period.
The Random Drop System
- By default, players are limited to 9 item drops every week. When a player joins the server for the first time (or after any scheduled drop), the plugin will roll to determine when they should receive a drop. By default, drops happen every 30 to 70 minutes if the player has not hit the drop limit.. Just like TF2 though, if a player does not claim all of one week's drops, those drops will rollover to the next week. (This makes the limit actually 18 items every two weeks.) The items which drop can be configured with custom weight. (See the
/drops
command.) If a player has a full inventory, they will not receive a drop, instead they will be reminded that they need to have an open space in their inventory and the drop will be rescheduled. If you have admins on your server who are frequently vanished doing secret admin stuff, you can give them the permissionstrangeweapons.drop.announceexempt
and their drops will only be announced to them personally. Should you not want a player to receive drops at all, you can revoke thestrangeweapons.drop.dropitems
andstrangeweapons.drop.dropcrates
permissions. Speaking of crates, the crate drop system works exactly like the item drop system, except that it runs on a seperate timer with separate limits. (Default 3 crates per week.)
Awesome! Hopefully this works for 1.5 -fingers crossed- and if not please update asap :D Please don't give up on this project because it's amazing <3
Crap, 1.5 is here, i hope this is not innactive or my server will be broken :(((
@leobiaz
And that will allow for uses to drop their inventory in death excluding the strangeweapons items? So if I have an inventory of items and a stamp everything but the stamp will drop?
@Imnotcreativeenough
do /gamerule keepInventory true - people wont loose their items on death.
I'm fully interested in how to make it so that players don't drop items on death. I've seen this implemented on another server where the items stop drop on death but don't know how to do it. Please help :P
I also wouldn't mind seeing an easy way in the config files to change the name to whatever you want. Instead of having "Steve Co" you can make your own name. If this is possible please tell me how, preferably the easy way.
because turning an item into a strange causes it to lose all prior custom names, i'm trying to edit the name back in with "Strange" before it through the config file
however, after reloading and even restarting, the item will still say "Strange (itemstandardname)" when unboxed, despite that the config remains the way I had changed it to my likings
how would I do this?
Hello - I am just asking since I would like this as an option for my server. Is it an option or a possibility to make it so that players do not drop Strange Weapons on death? Just wondering that would be a great feature to implement or think about. Thanks. <3
This is a great plugin. My users really seem to love though I'm feeling pressured to come up with more strange items :D Thanks again for it!
Any announcements about having looked into some of the fans suggestions?
Please make Strange weapons able to level up from mob kills as well.
-Charles :)
is this plugin not being updated?. if so. is there an est?. becouse i might need to remove this plugin now, as i see no estimate or if anything will be done for the ones with the problems.
Please Please Please
Add A Command /newkey <player> <amount> /newcrate <player> <series> <amount>
Allow It To Be Typed In The Console As Well
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ILL LOVE YOU FOREVER

This doesn't seem to work for me, I have tried multiple plugins and usually it just sells a blaze rod instead, or it doesn't even work. ChestShop you have to put the item name on a sign, and "Steve Co. Supply Crate Key" doesn't fit on one line on a sign.
@Grinjr
Use a plugin that uses a chest or /sell this (example) like ChestShop.
How would someone sell the keys in a shop?
@PlantAssassin
Amazing plugin! Just one simple request, Can you make the leveling system work for Mob Kills as well, and not just for player kills? Would be a better use for some servers that don't allow PVP. Thanks!
-Charles
@leobizaz
Oh thanks for the clear up. I appreciate it. Is there a way to make it to where it's leveled up by Mob Kills?
-Charles
@RetroCharles
It only levels player kills.
Simple question, how can a weapon level up?
I've been testing it out, and killed tons of mobs, but still it's still labeled as Level 0. What must be done in order to rank up the strange weapons?
We have posted tickets, yet we have not had any replies since you asked us to post them there.
The idea of this plugin is pure amazement, and i want to get started using it, but i cannot at its current state
-Crates throwing error and not dropping -Bows not registering dmg -no cmd to give other players keys -a big glitch allowing duplicate items to be made
Thank you for the unbreakable weapon update. Works perfectly!
