[REQ] Creepers drop what they destroyed

Discussion in 'Archived: Plugin Requests' started by Baron_von_Hinten, May 9, 2012.

  1. Plugin category: Mechanics

    Suggested name: More harmless Creepers

    A bit about me: I am one of the admins from a little server

    What I want:
    I was looking for a plugin that makes Creepers' explosions drop everything they destroyed so that no blocks, items, etc. get lost.
    Is that possible? I don't want to use a plugin that makes their explosions do no dammage at all to the blocks but I want that the player still has to pay attention in order to avoid the creeper from exploding in a town or close to a valuable building. But if hey really explodes, everything he destroys shall be there and not disappear immediatly.
    I think a lot of people would use this

    When I'd like it by: It would be really cool if somebody could do this when 1.3 comes out because we would like to use books as well.

    Extra thoughts: It would be really nice if somebody decides to actually try to do such a plugin, if he or she could tell me.

    Kind regards

    I'll give it a go, doesn't sound too difficult.

    (btw, 'harmless' is an absolute. Something cannot be 'more harmless')
     
  3. Thanks for both! ;-)

  5. Wow, thank you so very much, nicely done! :)
    Was it hard or a lot of work to write the plugin?

    AntiCreeper already supports this, by setting nerf_creeper.yield to 100. (Actually, that was the first mod I made to the original AntiCreeper2.5.) Also has many other options for creepers and other explosions. Note that to protect already dropped items from disappearing and boats or other such placed items, you'd also need to set nerf_creeper.entitydamage.todrops and .toitem to false.
     
  7. When I was looking for the plugin requested in this thread I of course also checked the already existing plugins and when I was reading through the results and found "AntiCreeper" with the description "Prevents Creepers from spawning" I didn't think that this would be the right plugin for me. Also the second "AntiCreeper" result did not seem desirable to me due to the description "Creepers only damage players". Both of those plugins didn't fit my wish according to the description. Maybe you could edit the descreption so that it shows, how powerful your plugin actually is, which I discovered now when I read through the various features. Are you going to update your plugin when MC 1.3 comes out because the writeable book feature is something me and my community is really looking forward to and then I would not have to bother ReddChicken again with any requests (thanks again for your plugin!).
    However, I have to mention that installing the plugin was very comfortable because I didn't have to configure anything :). But the item drop feature is certainly a valuable bonus!

    No problem :)

    I have to admit, it was very easy.
    Pseudocode:
    If explosion caused by creeper, set drop yield to 100%.
