​

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.

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...

I have lightstone dust set to drop from grass durring the day at a high light lever with shovels.

I also have clay that drops from stone and a low % but they haven't been working sense I updated.

 

Hmm - nothing should have changed with that - can you post the config for those and I'll test it?

 

Hi there. Ever since installing this I haven't been able to break minecarts or boats but I don't believe they're touched in my config file. Could this be your plugin or something else? I'm running Permissions 3.16 btw.

 

Someone else mentioned that earlier, but it works fine on my server and not sure why minecarts wouldn't break... version 2.0 will but a big change internally so perhaps try when that comes out (should only be a couple of days)?

 

Hi, after removing OtherBlocks to test this I can definitely say that it was OtherBlocks causing boats and minecarts to not be broken when hit. I tried downgrading to 1.83 but I still have the same issues. I'm trying to remember what I was running before so I can use that until version 2.0 comes out.

Thanks for being so quick to keep my up to date on what's up.

 

No worries - I think it might have something to do with Permissions 3.16? Someone said that PermissionsEx fixed some problems for them. edit: Chronx6 - here

@ClearTranquil

btw: 1.8 should work - I updated the permissions routines in 1.81 and I think that's where it's not compatible with Permissions 3.16.

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

 

Ah thanks! 1.7 works for me too with the same config file.

 

@Zarius I think this plugin and mcMMO have problems. any way to fix? no error appears but mobs don't drop money anymore.

 

Hmm... shouldn't stop money drops - I would have expected the conflict is that you may not get mcMMO experience...

 

Any plans to switch to PermissionsBukkit?

 

Yes, 2.0 has PermissionsBukkit support.

 

This was working for me on bukkit 1000 but now it isn't on 1060.

Code:

otherblocks:
    STONE:
        - tool: ANY_PICKAXE
          drop: DEFAULT
        - tool: ANY_PICKAXE
          drop: CLAY_BALL
          toolexcept: GOLD_PICKAXE
          quantity: 2-6
          chance: 3
          message: ["You found some clay in those rocks."]
        - tool: ANY_PICKAXE
          drop: BONE
          quantity: 2-5
          chance: 1
          message: ["You found some bones inside the stone."]
        - tool: GOLD_PICKAXE
          drop: CLAY_BALL
          chance: 5
          quantity: 12-24
          message: ["You found clay."]
    GRASS:
        - tool: ANY_SPADE
          drop: DEFAULT
        - tool: ANY_SPADE
          drop: GLOWSTONE_DUST
          chance: 5
          time: DAY
          quantity: 1-5
          message: ["That piece of grass was infused with the sun."]

Anyone able to help?

 

Some times the server will not start, after restarting it over and over again it will eventually work but when it does work no one gets money drops, (money drops is all i have so for all i know this plugin could not even be on still this is most likely a conflict between mcMMO and your plugin.)

-----edit------
Yea your plugin is ignored completely when mcMMO is on >.> any help?

actually now that i think about it it may be the fact that mcMMO and permissions 3.1.6 causes high cpu usage.
------------EDIT------------
...OK really weird this plugin stopped working when i put mcMMO in but both work together if i take choptree plugin out o.0 oh well i can live without choptree

 

Are you using Permissions 3.16?

 

no.. I am using permissionsBukkit

 

Yeah, that's odd but glad you got it working. I'm working on migrating my server to PermissionsEx (hopefully it goes well ) so that's probably what will be best supported (although I will try to get it working with other permissions sytems).

@Sh8kezula - odd, will test it out with 1060.

 

Does this work with Bow/Arrows? I'm trying to set it up so when I kill a monster, with a any tool OR a bow, it will drop custom things.

I tried doing this, but it didn't work.

tool: ANY, BOW
i also tried
tool: ANY, ARROW

Is that feature not implemented yet?

 

ANY already includes a bow, you can't put more than one item in the "tool:" section yet. If you want just the bow use "tool: BOW" (arrow doesn't work unless you're hitting the creature over the head with an arrow ).

Version 2.0 will have a new projectile system for RB1060.

If you change OtherBlocks priority to high then it will take affect after mcMMO and you therefore get experience even with configured drops.

@Zarius

I did a little test on bukkit 1060. Plugin works perfectly (Block drops and Mob Drops) With no permissions or the other main stream permission managers.

But the second I install permissionsBukkit and SuperpermBridge all Block Drops stop working.. All my drops from Mobs still work tho.. It is only the block changes.

 

Oh I see. So when you say the bow is included, does that mean shooting arrows will trigger the drop? Or just smacking a mob with your bow?

Is there a way to make it so that the monsters drop the custom items by any type of death?
For example, I have classes on my server and it would be awesome if a mage could cast a spell, (lets just say lightning strike,) and the monster would drop the custom drop i set for it. So in other words, make it so when the creature is killed by fire, or any type of weapon, he will drop the custom stuff.

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

 

Doesnt "tool: ALL" work for what you are asking?

 

Shooting arrows too - if you want to make sure that it's just shooting the bow and not smacking the mob with the bow you need to use something like:

range: ">3"

Or wait until OtherBlocks 2.0.

 

I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it doesnt

ah ok thank you

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

 

"tool: ALL" will cover any type of entity death, it should work - unless a plugin "removes" the mob instead of killing it.

If you have a problem with a particular plugin let me know.

 

Alrighty thank you very much. Great plugin btw All my buddies love it! I set it up so you get money by killing mobs and also mobs randomly drop equipment. (Modified catballs's config)

 

i have the same symptoms as well there is no error in server log on start up all the configs load and the plugin loads properly, just the block drops are broken, mob drops are working flawless

 

Working on version 2.0 - will work on compatibility with PermissionsEx first then look into SuperPermsBridge (that's where the problem is I believe.

 

Chances are that if it works with PermissionsEx it'll also work with PermissionsBukkit and bPermissions, since all of those manage Bukkit permissions.

 

Yeah, Permissions 3.16 might still be a pain though :/

 

Any chance you can implement list syntax for the drop line so that it pulls a random element off that list?

For example:

drop: [{WOOD_SWORD, STONE_SWORD}]
chance 20%

Would give a 20% of dropping either a wooden sword or a stone sword?


EDIT: Of course I only find the other posts asking for this AFTER I write the post. Was there a way of doing exclusive drops that I'm missing?
