[RPG/MECH] Mob Drops v1.3 - Choose when mobs drop items and what they drop! [1576]

This plugin allows you to set many different conditions to decide what (if anything) a mob should drop. Conditions can be as simple or as complicated as you want.

See the details at the BukkitDev page (especially the tutorial)! ​

 

Seems pretty cool but since you released it now I would just skipped 1.8 stuff and went to 1.9 support new mobs.

One thing I do want to check and or ask. I dislike mobs dropping anything by natural deaths. I only ever want mobs to drop anything if they are killed by a sword.

Is this possible and could you provide a config example? This what I have so far for another plugin I use:

Code:

defaults:
include-files:
configversion: 3
aliases:
otherdrops:
  CREATURE_CHICKEN:
      - tool: ALL
        drop: NOTHING
      - tool: [ANY_SWORD, BOW, ARROW]
        drop: DEFAULT
  CREATURE_COW:
      - tool: ALL
        drop: NOTHING
      - tool: [ANY_SWORD, BOW, ARROW]
        drop: DEFAULT
  CREATURE_SHEEP:
      - tool: ALL
        drop: NOTHING
      - tool: [ANY_SWORD, BOW, ARROW]
        drop: DEFAULT
  CREATURE_PIG:
      - tool: ALL
        drop: NOTHING
      - tool: [ANY_SWORD, BOW, ARROW]
        drop: DEFAULT
  CREATURE_CREEPER:
      - tool: ALL
        drop: NOTHING
      - tool: [ANY_SWORD, BOW, ARROW]
        drop: DEFAULT
  CREATURE_ZOMBIE:
      - tool: ALL
        drop: NOTHING
      - tool: [ANY_SWORD, BOW, ARROW]
        drop: DEFAULT
  CREATURE_SPIDER:
      - tool: ALL
        drop: NOTHING
      - tool: [ANY_SWORD, BOW, ARROW]
        drop: DEFAULT
  CREATURE_SKELETON:
      - tool: ALL
        drop: NOTHING
      - tool: [ANY_SWORD, BOW, ARROW]
        drop: DEFAULT

 

It's written in a way that it should automatically find all new mobs without changing the code (as long as the Bukkit team is consistent). If it doesn't it means that they aren't consistent or they're not raising the death event for the new mobs yet.

I like your idea and it shouldn't be hard to add so it will be coming soon

Sigh... When I had this idea the other night I searched for 'exp' and 'items' on BukkitDev and was a bit surprised no-one had already done it, so I went ahead. I never searched for 'drops' (I decided on the name last)

That otherdrops plugin looks quite powerful but it doesn't do all the things I was planning to add so I think I'll continue anyway.

I'm happy to say that this (and a whole lot more) is now possible with 1.2!

Off the top of my head, the config would look like this:

Code:

mobs:
  - name : pig
    conditions:
      - player:
           holding:
             - name: swords
        outcome:
          drop_chances:
            - percent: 100
              drops:
              - name: glowstone, red_wool

Looks a little long, but that's because I added dozens of possible conditions to check for to decide what (if any) drops to give.

 

Pretty sexy thanks. can I do sword,bow,arrow. I notices you had swords I assume that is a type or does that actually classify all sword types?

 

You can do name: weapons to include all swords and bows, or name: diamond_sword, iron_sword to only include some swords.

 

Updated to 1.3 and the CB 1597.

Also added some new conditions, based on the real date and time.
