[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:
      - drop: CREATURE_ZOMBIE
        chance: 50%
 
    # Spiders killed with any sword at night have a 10% chance to drop web,
    # otherwise they drop whatever they normally would
    CREATURE_SPIDER:
      - tool: ANY_SWORD
        time: NIGHT
        drop: WEB
        chance: 10%
 
    # Trees drop apples (or cocoa from birch trees)
    SPECIAL_LEAFDECAY@GENERIC:
      - drop: APPLE
        chance: 5%
    SPECIAL_LEAFDECAY@BIRCH:
      - drop: DYE@BROWN
        chance: 5%

If you are getting errors with the word "snakeyaml" in it, your config file isn't properly formatted.
Test it on this website (or this one).

1. He, I guess will have to add towny support.
2. You can't.. well at least I'm pretty sure.

 

Sounds great, cant have people punching holes the houses in my towns

Awww! I wanted to have it so that when killed by a zombie there was a chance to spawn a zombie. Not as fun when you have to have it on any death.

 

The best I could recommend is that whenever you die you drop a zombie thats about it

 

@RugRats
Is there a simple way to make sure certain 'rare drops' doesnt trigger when mobs die from mobstraps such as falling, burning or suffocating?

I had been hoping that removing the tool: entry would do that, but no such luck.

 

Were you testing on 2.0? Did you check that it wasn't OtherDrops translating the 45 to 13? I'm not sure if I did anything like that in the course of refactoring the code, but it's possible that I might have.

Specifying tool: CREATURE_ZOMBIE should work. In 2.0 I believe the CREATURE_ part is optional.

 

Thats cool! I never knew you could do that

 

Works like a charm, thanks
Well, the message part doesnt work.. but its a minor thing.

 

Tested on 1.95 and checked the source-code, nothing should be changing the number (although I'll do a more thorough check later with debug messages to make sure).

Yeah, the message is designed to be sent to the attacker (the zombie in this case). We would need a "messagevictim:" option if you're wanting to alert the player that got killed.

 

messagevictim could be useful for mob kills (a zombie just gutted you!) or for pvp. Theres a few things you could do with it. But I also know you have a large list and are busy. Just thought I'd let you know there is interest.

Which the mob kill idea brings up the idea of a list of messages to go with a action with a chance for each. Flavor text is fun when used right.

 

@Zarius
Is Towny support realistic in the near future?

 

Oops - checked the 1.95 source and discovered it wasn't checking if the event was cancelled - please try 1.96 with Towny and see if it works.

@po5 - you might want to try this version with PreciousStones too.

 

It seems to work! I will test it more indept and report back any problem i come across.

Edit: When a drop is money, can you show the minor currency instead of the larger one?
Ie, You recieve x silver instead of you recieve 0.0x gold?

Edit2: event: FIRE/BURN seems to be missing. Im trying to create an event where if you break a powered redstone wire it will start a fire. Uhm, is there even a way to specify REDSTONE_WIRE_ON? At the moment im limited to event: EXPLOSION which i intend to use on breaking DIODE_BLOCK_ON.

Theese i want to work, obviously i want the player to get electrocuted and not the redstone wire. Perhaps it can be created on broken block and if touching player then you get fried too. Lightning would work if it didnt come from sky but rather from wire to you. If not possible to add suitable gfx, just plain taking damage would work i guess. Fire on other hand can be at broken block, since the idea of fire is to cause structural damage primarily.

Code:

  REDSTONE_WIRE_ON:
      - chance: 10
        event: ELECTROCUTE
        message: Severing the powered wire has cause it to electrocute you!
      - chance 5
        event: FIRE
        message: The powered wire has caused a fire!
        exclusive:

This one works

Code:

  DIODE_BLOCK_ON:
      - chance: 5
        event: EXPLOSION
        message: Removing the repeater while powered has caused a catastrophic failure!

 

Getting a lot of this in the console. This time it was after a server restart and I was the only person to log on (and I didn't log off):

Probably not, since OtherBlocks doesn't know anything about the details of the currency system. If it's possible at all, it would need to be configured in your economy plugin.

Try this:

Code:

    REDSTONE_WIRE@RANGE-1-15: # I'm pretty sure this range implies "on" for redstone wire
      - replacementblock: FIRE

It's impossible for lightning to come from the sky, so you'll have to just use the damageattacker key.

 

The line it's complaining about is this section for PlayerInteractEvents:

Code:

        if (block.getRelative(event.getBlockFace()).getType() == Material.FIRE) {

where:

        Block block = event.getClickedBlock();

Do you know what you were doing when this triggered? All I can think of is an event that doesn't have a block or blockface? Which is odd because the PlayerInteractEvent is only called for blocks I thought...

Prerelease 4... and
Add support for heroes.
If I say make it so you get bark of trees when you use your hand to get a log when it breaks it drops the log and bark ect like I have it but I don't get any exp :O Priority is on high.

 

@RugRats - will try and look into that tonight.

 

Well, I would suspect that if the action is RIGHT_CLICK_AIR or LEFT_CLICK_AIR there might not be a block... but didn't you check the action before checking the block?

 

2.0 alpha1 released.

Changes:
* removed annoying debug message from pre-release 4
* fix for specialevents (tree, explosion, etc) - all should work now
* fix for player drops
* fix for ranged data (eg. drop: WOOL@0-15 now correctly drops random colored wool)
* fixed bug with toolexcept
* verbosity levels of loading and debugs messages tweaked - verbosity low now just says "OtherDrops loaded." on startup rather than 20 lines
* fix for hooking into WorldGuard - this might fix region condition (haven't tested it yet).

 

You the man. 1.96 along with priority highest fixed it.

Can i do a request? I made some blocks when mined in a specific way yield more resources, but added a chance to find gas pockets, which just means it will blow up in their face. Now i delayed the event, and put a message too. But everything is equally delayed.

It would be nice if the message was instant, and then the event delayed, so people could run away

 

EDIT: Error found - "damagetool: 2" causes the NPE while breaking a block without tool!

I need help to fix a null pointer exception with CB1060, Otherblock 1.96:

The only definition I have is this (the error triggers only when a sandblock drop is triggered):

Code:

defaults:
    - biomes: ALL
      worlds: ALL

otherblocks:
    SAND:
        - tool: ANY
          drop: SAND
          chance: 30
          damagetool: 2
        - tool: ANY
          drop: NOTHING
          chance: 100

My intention was to reduce the drops of sandblocks by 30% - works, but the server.log is spammed with the null pointer exceptions!

Can somebody help me how to fix this or if I did something wrong?
thx

 

@Zarius
All the file names are OtherBlocks... :O
Also all the start up messages say OtherBlocks..
The config files are OtherBlocks..

This is with 2.0 alpha 1

I'm guessing you messed this up pretty bad

 

You'll need to use a drop group; put the message in one "drop" and the delay and event in the other. Drop groups may be broken in the 2.0 alpha though.

Something like this:

Code:

  BLOCK:
    - dropgroup: Gas Pocket
      # put your conditions here, such as tool used and such
      drops:
        - message: "You found a gas pocket! Run!"
        - event: EXPLOSION
          delay: 30

 

I got it working thanks

Code:

    COBBLESTONE:
        - dropgroup: Gas Pocket
          tool: ALL
          chance: 100
          drops:
            - message: "You found a gas pocket! Run!"
            - event: EXPLOSION
              delay: 30

 

@po5 @Celtic Minstrel

Glad you got it working - yeah, dropgroups don't work in 2.0 yet.

Hmm... I think that's due to the "remove item" part of damage tool (trying to remove an item in your hand when you have none perhaps) - I'll need to remove that feature and separate it out into damagetool: and damageitem: (or removeitem?).

Oops - no idea why but there was an old file call OtherBlocks-alpha1.zip from about a week ago. Removed it and updated the link to the correct file of OtherDrops-alpha1.zip

Thanks for that - what were you doing? Is the error often or just during a particular action?

Nevermind - fixed it locally anyway

 

All I can say is that i've never seen it before and it was caused by this config

Code:

otherdrops:

          - tool: ANY
          - chance: 100
          - message: Damn..

@RugRats - yeah, the bug was with messages that didn't include a drop - fix will be in the next build.

 

I was also messing with fail configs such as the one above to see what would happen
Also theres no /obr in otherdrops?
