OtherDrops allows you to add anything from a simple "glass drops glass" or mob rewards, to a complex overhaul of your servers drops with drops differing depending on tools, biome, time, weather and much more, along with custom messages, actions and commands.

OtherDrops is lightweight* (it only acts on what you configure) and respects most protection plugins (eg. WorldGuard, Regios) settings. Many examples are included that you can enable and/or customize as you wish.

Getting Started (tutorials)

• Install & setup first custom drops
• Customising mob & block drops
• Customising money & XP rewards
• Customising fishing rewards
• Customising mob spawns

• Further documentation

• Nerf mob traps by disabling drops from environmental damage.
• Unleash the zombie apocalypse by setting zombies to drop zombies when they die! (This can be world-specific.)

Help Wanted

Would you like to help improve OtherDrops? Here are some ways to get involved:

• Media/art: OtherDrops could really do with some tutorial and example videos.
• Testers: Testers who are able to go through the plugin and rigorously check that things (both existing and new features) work as they should. PM Zarius your Skype (or other IM) details if you're interested or jump on the IRC channel.
• Programming: any assistance is welcomed - see the todo list here for some ideas. Anyone with refactoring and/or automated testing experience that wants to assist would be great.
