[MECH] OtherDrops 2.8- Ultimate block/mob/player drop editing [1.5.2]

​

Documentation, downloads and more are on the BukkitDev page​

Want to fix glass/stairs/boat drops? Want to gather ice/glowstone/grass in a balanced manner? Want to smelt ore with golden tools? Want to cause chaos with undead that rise again? Now you can, simply by enabling the included example files or delve into the more advanced customisation and make drops work the way you want.

OtherBlocks aims to give you ultimate control over what item that blocks/entities drop when destroyed, depending on how they were destroyed. Compatible with WorldGuard. Lightweight! Only scans what it needs to and ignores the rest.
Download: BukkitDev (download link on there) | Source Code

Included Modules
* Fix undroppables: fix drops for stairs, glass (don't use your hands - ouch), boats & bookshelves (1.8 stairs included)
* Gold tools (basic): gold tools have a chance of dropping the complete block for grass, ice & glowstone.
* Gold tools (smelt): gold tools have a chance of mining an ingot directly from ores.
* Ore Extraction: using the usual tools, ingots are ripped out of ores, leaving the stone behind.
* Leaf overhaul: adds leaf drops (apples, cocoa, leaves, sticks & a very small chance of golden apple).
* Undead Chaos: beware the night! Zombies & skeletons rise again and even players rise back from the dead (player deaths spawn more zombies/skeletons).
* and more...

Custom Configuration Examples

Code:

    # Simple glass drop fix
    GLASS:
      - drop: GLASS
 
    # Players drop Zombies on death, 50% of the time
    PLAYER:

In your documentation, you list MONSTER_EGGS as an item, but I was under the impression that was the name for the stone block that breaks to produce silverfish.

 

Yup, that's correct; fixed.

 

@Zarius
Since the resent updates how can I repair this to work with the new version

Code:

    CLICKRIGHT-2: # GRASS
        - drop: NOTHING # start with a blank slate - ie. don't drop anything unless we say so
          tool: ANY_HOE
        - drop: SEEDS
          tool: ANY_HOE
          quantity: 1
          chance: 42
          face: [UP]
        - drop: NOTHING # this allows the ground to be tilled
          replacementblock: SOIL
          tool: ANY_HOE
          face: [UP]    # for up face only (ie. not if you click on the side)
    CLICKRIGHT-3: # DIRT
        - drop: NOTHING
          tool: ANY_HOE
        - drop: DEFAULT
          tool: ANY_HOE
          face: UP

 

I haven't seen any block/item/entity for exp orbs yet...

This should work (with a couple of bugs):

Code:

  GRASS:
    - action: RIGHT_CLICK
      tool: ANY_HOE
      face: [UP]
      drop: SEEDS/1/42%

    - action: RIGHT_CLICK
      tool: ANY_HOE
      face: [UP]    # for up face only (ie. not if you click on the side)
      drop: NOTHING # this allows the ground to be tilled
      replacementblock: SOIL

  DIRT:
    - action: RIGHT_CLICK
      tool: ANY_HOE
      drop: NOTHING

    - action: RIGHT_CLICK
      tool: ANY_HOE
      face: UP          
      drop: DEFAULT

If you make a separate include file you can set action: RIGHT_CLICK in the defaults and not have to keep typing it.

Bugs are that face: UP doesn't seem to test properly and the seeds appear lodged in the ground (which is correct as it's the dirt block they are dropping from but we had a work-around previously, will work on incorporating that into 2.0).

I am getting this every time I kill a monster:

Code:

2011-09-17 05:08:24 [WARNING] Task of 'OtherBlocks' generated an exception
java.lang.NullPointerException

When I reload or restart, the plugin loads normally and has no errors. This is version 1.96.

 

I look forward to you guys consolidating your info pages and linking to them from the OP, because I have a hard time keeping track of which resources are where. The BukkitDev page essentially includes what's in the wiki, but BukkitDev has all the new OD2.0 and MC1.8 stuff, while the wiki has the Advanced YAML page (though it's not linked from anywhere as far as I see). Dropgroups are somewhat explained here and there, but I don't see a single great explanation of them in one place, and the slash-based quantity/chance shortcut syntax seems to be mentioned only in the 2.0 Progress page.

Granted you're working on more important things than streamlined documentation right now, but maybe a quick link to all of those things in the OP would help? The OP is pretty long and has some of those links peppered here and there (the BukkitDev link is all but hidden), but there's no single place to look for reference material links.

 

I guess I got to get to work!
EDIT: Thanks for the feedback!

 

Ooh yes, we could add an ExperienceDrop class...

Code:

REDSTONE_ORE:
    - drop: DEFAULT
    - drop: XP@5
      chance: 7%

 

Ohh hot damn do I want.

 

Is there an API to drop XP yet?

Can you post your config - are you trying to drop money? What economy plugin are you using?

 

Ideas on how to fix? Cracked stone brick has same name as noncracked.

Code:

  SMOOTH_BRICK:
      - drop: NOTHING
      - tool: ANY_PICKAXE
        drop: SMOOTH_BRICK
        quantity: 1
        chance: 100
      - tool: ANY_PICKAXE
        drop: 98:2
        quantity: 1
        chance: 5
        exclusive:

 

Any possibility to add the fishing catch event? I want certain perms groups getting better loot from fishing.

 

Instead of 98:2 use SMOOTH_BRICK@1 (mossy) or SMOOTH_BRICK@2 (cracked)

It is likely I'll add this eventually

 

There's no API specifically for experience, but the generic World.spawn function supports spawning experience orbs.

I'll fix this once sunkid's materials update pull request is accepted. (Unless Zarius beats me to it.) It'll probably end up being SMOOTH_BRICK@STONE|COBBLESTONE|MOSSY_COBBLESTONE. In the meantime, you can use the numbers as Zarius said.

 

Thanks guys

 

Cobblestone smooth brick? You just blew my mind with that label.

 

It wasn't my idea; ask sunkid. Personally I think it's a bit of a stretch.

 

Hmm... odd labels - I'd say it should be SMOOTH_BRICK@NORMAL/CRACKED/MOSSY (which I've added as valid data values).

Version 2.0-beta-3 - Download

* improve fix_undroppables (1.8 support, new stairs drop stairs, breaking thin glass hurts with bare hands)
* add loc-offset (eg. loc-offset: x/y/z) - adds location offset for drops/events/effects
* renamed randomiseloc to loc-randomise
* add NORMAL/MOSSY/CRACKED for SMOOTH_BRICK
* fix for synonym drops (eg. ANY_AXE)
* fix NPE for DAMAGE_FALL

@RugRats

For the seeds from tilling, try this:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Code:

  GRASS:
    - action: RIGHT_CLICK
      tool: ANY_HOE
      drop: DENY  # deny any tilling at first, then allow on UP face only below

    - action: RIGHT_CLICK
      tool: ANY_HOE
      face: [UP]
      drop: SEEDS/1/42%
      loc-offset: 0/1/0  # this offsets the drop (and events/effects) by +1Y to stop seeds getting stuck in ground

    - action: RIGHT_CLICK
      tool: ANY_HOE
      face: [UP]    # for up face only (ie. not if you click on the side)
      drop: NOTHING # this allows the ground to be tilled
      replacementblock: SOIL

@Zarius
Any reason why this doesn't work?

Code:

    GLASS_PANE:
        - tool: ANY
          drop: GLASS_PANE
          quantity: 1
        - tool: [AIR, GLASS, GLASS_PANE]
          drop: NOTHING
          damageattacker: 1-2
          message: "Ouch! That hurt."
          chance: 20

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

@RugRats - Because bukkit has called it THIN_GLASS. Check the fix_undroppables file in Beta 3.

I might look into making a synonym for it.

 

Thanks

@Zarius
I've got TNT blocked on my server with worldguard meaning it shouldn't explode... but this makes it explode OtherDrops 2.0 Beta 3 to be exact.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Hmm, this shouldn't be changing the effect of existing explosion triggers (eg. TNT, creepers). I'd understand the "event: explosion" not respecting worldguard (and it probably shouldn't either, since if the admin has added this to the config they want the explosion).

Will look into this and test tonight.

 

Agreed, though CRUMBLING is a close contender.

Also, with the new blocks we could consider adding things like ANY_GLASS, ANY_FENCE, ANY_STAIRS as synonyms.

 

iConomy 6, and yes I am trying to make them drop money. My config calls a few of the included yml's (fix undroppables, gold tools basic, and leaf overhaul) as well as this one I made myself.

My yml, based off one of the included ones:
http://pastie.org/2556026

MC 1.8.1
CB 1149

If you want to yell at me because it's not an RB of Bukkit and tell me I shouldn't be posting in your thread if I'm running a non-recommended build I will understand

Perhaps I should try your 2.x beta?

 

Newest build shouldn't matter (i'm running a new build myself). 1.96 should support iConomy 6, I'll have a look at your config. In the meantime try the newest beta.

 

I have updated to your newest build, beta 3. I put my custom drops into the main drops yml, and (I think) set it up to call those other 3 from included. Now, when I kill a mob, I am no longer getting the error in my console. I am also, however, not getting any of the custom drops or money for the kills. It's like the plugin isn't even there. Am I doing something wrong with my config?

Config:
http://pastie.org/2556232

I have also noted this is now showing up in the console. It's not an error, but I'm not sure what it means either:

Console:
http://pastie.org/2556219

 

Oh dammit - I removed that debug message but probably didn't rebuild the beta release before posting Will fix as soon as I can when I get home in about an hour and a half - will also test your config tonight and see if it works for me.

 

Is this possible allready with this otherdrops ?

 

Okay, beta 4 is almost ready to go

* fixed the entity drops issue (including money)
* remove the "location" debug message
* add new aliases:

Anything I'm missing before I post the new build?

Hmm... you'd need a plugin to add a furnace recipe for the 4 sticks to wood plank, but the rest seems doable:

Code:

  LOG:
    - tool: HANDS
      drop: DENY
      damageattacker: 1
      message: "Ouch - that hurt.  Try breaking the leaves - they're softer!"

  LEAVES:
    - tool: HANDS
      drop: STICKS
      chance: 0.5%  # do you really want this low?  player has to destroy 200 leaves for 1 stick?  Perhaps 2 sticks with 5% chance?

  LOG:
    - tool: WOOD_AXE
      drop: DENY
      damagetool: 20
      message: "That didn't work - guess this wooden axe is just decorative..."

  STONE:
    - tool: WOOD_PICKAXE
      drop: DENY
      damagetool: 20
      message: "Hmm... the stone is too hard for your wooden pickaxe - perhaps try something stronger?"
  GRAVEL:
    - tool: ANY_SHOVEL
      drop: COBBLESTONE
      chance: 1%  # one in a hundred chance of cobblestone, making a stone pickaxe needs about 300 gravel dug up?

Sometimes percentage is written as a part of 1 = 100 %

Thanks for the reply.
