Random Drops

The Random Drops system allows users to define item drops from specific blocks with customizable chances, adding variety and excitement to gameplay. This guide explains how to configure the random_drops.yml file to suit your needs.

File Structure

The random_drops.yml file is divided into three main sections:

  1. Global Settings:

    • Controls whether random drops are enabled and their overall probability.

  2. Chances:

    • Defines specific items, the blocks they drop from, and the likelihood of their drops.

Configuration Example

Here’s an example configuration:

chanced_drop: true
chance_to_drop: 10
chances:
  apple:
    blocks:
    - BIRCH_LEAVES
    - OAK_LEAVES
    - DARK_OAK_LEAVES
    chance: 60
  cabbage:
    blocks:
    - SHORT_GRASS
    - FERN
    - TALL_GRASS
    chance: 50
  tomato:
    blocks:
    - SHORT_GRASS
    - TALL_GRASS
    chance: 80

1. Global Settings

chanced_drop

  • Type: Boolean (true or false)

  • Description: Enables or disables the random drops system.

  • Example:

    chanced_drop: true

chance_to_drop

  • Type: Integer (1–100)

  • Description: Sets the overall chance (in percentage) of any random drop occurring when breaking a block.

  • Example:

    chance_to_drop: 10

    • In this example, there’s a 10% chance that a random drop will occur when breaking a block.

2. Chances

Each entry under the chances section represents an item and includes the following properties:

blocks

  • Type: List

  • Description: Specifies the blocks that can drop the item.

  • Example:

    blocks:
- BIRCH_LEAVES
- OAK_LEAVES
- DARK_OAK_LEAVES

chance

  • Type: Integer (1–100)

  • Description: Sets the likelihood (in percentage) of the item dropping when a defined block is broken.

  • Example:

    chance: 60

    • In this example, there is a 60% chance of the item dropping if the block is broken.

Adding or Modifying Drops

Step 1: Define a New Item

Add a new entry under chances for the item you want to include. For example, to add a "pineapple" drop:

pineapple:
  blocks:
  - SHORT_GRASS
  - FERN
  - TALL_GRASS
  chance: 65

Step 2: Associate Blocks

List all the blocks from which the item can drop under the blocks key.

Step 3: Set Drop Chance

Set the probability of the item dropping using the chance key.
