​

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...

Custom Configuration Examples

Code:

    # Simple glass drop fix
    GLASS:
      - drop: GLASS

Thanks a lot

 

Cool - glad it's working for you I'm thinking of renaming the usepermissions option to "use_otherblocksactive_permission" and making it affect the otherblocks.active permission only - or even removing it entirely. There's no reason to disable the "permissiongroup" option - this should always work no matter the usepermissions settings - will fix that.

 

Do as you wish. By the way, our server will be running a 450+ line config file
Oh, one last question. How do I correctly set up multiple drops for one entity. I currently have this:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Code:

     CREATURE_SLIME:
     - tool: ANY
       drop: LEATHER_HELMET
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

     - tool: ANY
       drop: LEATHER_CHESTPLATE
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

     - tool: ANY
       drop: LEATHER_BOOTS
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

     - tool: ANY
       drop: LEATHER_LEGGINGS
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

     - tool: ANY
       drop: IRON_HELMET
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

     - tool: ANY
       drop: IRON_CHESTPLATE
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

     - tool: ANY
       drop: IRON_BOOTS
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

     - tool: ANY
       drop: IRON_LEGGINGS
       chance: 5
       permissiongroup: Hunter

Haven't tested it yet though, not sure if it will work.

EDIT: Tested, works with this format.

By the way, is it possible to disable configured item drops if you're killed by a non-player? I have this set up:

Code:

     PLAYERGROUP@Fox:
     - tool: ANY
       drop: DEAD_BUSH
       quantity: 2
       permissiongroupexcept: [Fox, Slayer, DarkArcher, Thief, Tunneler]

These groups are "the bad guys" of the server and the dead bush is sort of a pvp token (you exchange it for epic items like chainmail through npcs). Now as you can see, they can't get the bonus by killing each other, however if they're killed by anything but the defined groups they still drop the dead bush. Even if they write /kill, fall down, or get shot by a skeleton. Is there any way to make them drop it only when killed by the assigned groups?

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

 

That's a very creative use of the plugin

For the moment you can use tool: [ANY_SWORD, BOW, ARROW] or a list of objects you want to include but then if you didn't include say "APPLE" they wont drop the item if killed by a player with an apple. Could also try toolexcept: [DAMAGE_FIRE, DAMAGE_FALL, etc with all "damage" values from the Material and Creatures list]. I would like to add a DAMAGE_PLAYER_ATTACK option eventually.

 

Thanks, will use that for now.

 

You're still awake? Don't know if I made it clear but I recommend the toolexcept option.

 

hey, i want my crops to somehow drop 1 random dye, how do i do this?

 

Random color drops aren't yet possible but are definitely on the todo list. Got a couple of big changes first which I hope will make configuration more flexible.

 

Ranges aren't possible, then?

 

Unfortunately not for the drop's color value. They are currently read only for the block value (eg. CROPS@RANGE-1-6 drop: etc) if that makes sense.

 

Thanks, that seems to work. As in there are no errors. I'll test it next time I'm in game.

 

According to the post just above yours, it won't work. On the other hand, it'll probably work in a future version even if it doesn't now.

 

Nope, that should work - the example butterquark posted doesn't look like he's going for random dye - just brown (cocoa).

 

I dont think stuff can drop CREATURE_CREEPER@POWERED

i get this on startup:

Well, if he used what was posted rather than the note below it, yes.

@po5 – Presumably not supported yet.

 

Should be fine but drop doesn't support object@data yet. You need to use drop: object and color: data - does that make sense? I'm working on a fix that should allow drop data to be specified the same way as the original object (as per your example above).

 

In your examples in the config.sample.yml you use "PIG@SADDLED" instead of "CREATURE_PIG@SADDLED", maybe you should fix that
Nice Plugin!

 

Ah, thanks for that - will be fixed next version.

New version:


Version 0.9.8 (2011/07/07)

• previous beta stable
• added dropitem@dropdata support (inc. range for random)
• fix treespawn for blockbreak

Weird example of the day:

Code:

        GRASS:
            - tool: ALL
              drop: CREATURE_CREEPER@POWERED
            - tool: ALL
              drop: WOOL@RANGE-0-15
              event: [TREE]

Note: creeper must be before tree - otherwise it wont spawn. This causes a random wool color to drop, and a tree with a powered creeper stuck (momentarily) in it to appear. Beware! The creeper may escape & explode

Getting an error when running /obr on v0.9.8:

The plugin still works fine though.

So, can we have group drops now?

 

Thanks for that, will look into it tonight. Group drops coding is in progress but a larger undertaking As is integer data values (eg. for adding itemcraft blocks).

 

What will the syntax be like for the group drops?

 

I'm thinking something like this:

Code:

configversion: 2.0

otherblocks:
  main:
    GRASS:
      - dropgroup: mygroup
        chance: 50%
        exclusive: true   # this means that if this drop is selected no others will occur
        - tool: ANY
          drop: MAP
        - tool: ANY
          drop: COMPASS
      - tool: ANY
        drop: STONE
  mycritters:
    <some stuff about creature drops>
  mycritters.ranger:
    <specific ranger stuff>
  mycritters.hunter:
    <specific hunter stuff>
  mycoal:
    <some stuff about mining drops>
  leafdrops:
    <generic leafdrop stuff>

aliases:
  hunters: [main, mycritters, leafdrops]
  miners: [main, mycoal, leafdrops]

In this case grass will have a 50% chance of the "mygroup" drop which consists of 100% chance of both map & compass - due to the "exclusive" option no other (default or stone) drops occur. If the chance for "mygroup" is not rolled then the block will drop stone.

If the "exclusive" option is not set then the grass will always drop stone and 50% of the time drop "map & compass" in addition to the stone.

This config change also assists with permissions. Here are some permissions examples:
otherblocks.dropgroup.main
otherblocks.dropgroup.mycritters
otherblocks.dropgroup.mycoal
or even the aliases:
otherblocks.dropgroup.alias.hunters
otherblocks.dropgroup.alias.miners

By using the . in your group names you could include all subgroups, eg.:
otherblocks.dropgroup.mycritters.*

 

Is there a way that ANY Player drops something?

 

Can somebody help me? I'm running a server with OtherBlocks enabled, and I can't seem to get it to work, my .YML config is below.

I am pretty sure I set up the plugin correctly, but nothing seems to take effect.

 

What is the console output from OtherBlocks at startup?
The correct way to specify a charged creeper is CREATURE_CREEPER@POWERED, not CREATURE_CREEPER@CHARGED.

Does just using PLAYER work? I don't know if it does, but it's worth a try.

 

@Zarius
Been twiddling with the plugin and I'm not sure about DAMAGE_ENTITY_ATTACK - I'm trying to customize drops creepers give, but I also want to keep the functionality of getting Musical Discs when creepers are killed by Skeletons. Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

As skirmisher said - check the console errors. There are a bunch of issues here, doesn't pass yaml test either as you missed the ":" after the charged creeper.

WOODEN_PLANK, GOLDEN_AXE, SPIDER_WEB, PISTON and STICKY_PISTON are all non-valid names - please check the wiki in the top post or the help file in the otherblocks folder for the correct names (eg. just WOOD, WEB, GOLD_AXE).

Also, I made the same mistake with the creeper you did Firstly make sure you're using CREEPER@POWERED and secondly (my mistake too) don't have a "CREEPER" drop powered creepers unless you also want powered creepers dropping powered creeepers. Rather use CREEPER@UNPOWERED to drop the powered creeper.

Just PLAYER should work - if it doesn't I'll need to fix it.

 

Help me please this is my config and it wont work. I believe I'm doing this correctly, could you please tell me if it's my problem or just something with command prompt or whatever.
