The Drops tag can be added to your custom mobs to allow them to drop items of your choice upon their death. There are three types of custom drops available in MythicMobs to distinguish between.

You can make any number of files in the DropTables folder, and they can be named anything you like as long as the file ends in .yml.

Drops

Drops are the simplest way to implement custom drops.

internal_mobname:
  Type: <mobtype>
  Drops:
  - <item/exp/droptable/cmd> <amount> <chance>
  - <item/exp/droptable/cmd> <amount> <chance>
  - ...

<item/exp/droptable>

Can be either an item from MythicMobs, a vanilla item, exp, a drop table or an item/experience for a supported plugin.

amount

The amount of items to be dropped.

Can be a number range, for example: 1-3 or 1to3.
In this case, the number of dropped items will never be smaller than the leftmost number and never be equal or greater to the rightmost number

Writing 1to3 will drop at least 1 item and at most 2 items

chance

The chance for the specified item to be dropped.

• Must be a number between 0 and 1
• Note: allows percentage chances. (10% instead of 0.1).

In-line Drops

For very basic equipment, you can add some inline item data so that you don't always have to create a mythic item. Options currently available in-line on builds below 4.12 include name, data, amount, lore, and color

All of this inline item data can also be used in Equipment:!

 Drops:
 - leather_chestplate{name="Dark Leather";lore="&8A vest made of darkened leather";color=BLACK} 1 1

Options added in 4.12 are model, enchants, potioneffects, skullOwner, and skulltexture.

The below drops section will drop a Panda player head item that has 2 enchants on it, and will drop 3 pieces of diamond armor that all have names, lore, and enchantments on them!

  Drops:
  - PLAYER_HEAD{skullTexture=eyJ0ZXh0dXJlcyI6eyJTS0lOIjp7InVybCI6Imh0dHA6Ly90ZXh0dXJlcy5taW5lY3JhZnQubmV0L3RleHR1cmUvYjY0NjNlNjRjZTI5NzY0ZGIzY2I0NjgwNmNlZTYwNmFmYzI0YmRmMGNlMTRiNjY2MGMyNzBhOTZjNzg3NDI2In19fQ==;enchants=WATER_WORKER:1,OXYGEN:3} 1 1
  - DIAMOND_CHESTPLATE{name="Panda<&sq>s Will";lore="A Panda must be vigilant";enchants=PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL:4,DURABILITY:3,MENDING:1,THORNS:2} 1 1
  - DIAMOND_LEGGINGS{name="Panda<&sq>s Strength";lore="A Panda must be strong";enchants=PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL:4,DURABILITY:3,MENDING:1,THORNS:2} 1 1
  - DIAMOND_BOOTS{name="Panda<&sq>s Speed";lore="A Panda must be fast";enchants=PROTECTION_ENVIRONMENTAL:4,DURABILITY:3,MENDING:1,PROTECTION_FALL:4,DEPTH_STRIDER:3} 1 1

Drop Tables

Drop Tables are collections of multiple drops that can be assigned to mobs. Using them makes it easier to organize your drops in almost any case where your mobs are supposed to drop multiple items.

Drop Tables are stored in their own respective configuration-files located in /MythicMobs/DropTables. They have the advantage of being able to utilize Conditions and various other special options, and can be shared by multiple mobs without the need of duplicating it.

Drop Tables can be nested - a Drop Table can contain multiple other Drop Tables.

internal_mobname:
  Type: <mobtype>
  Drops:
  - <internal_droptablename>

The structure of a fully-configured drop table looks like this:

#Lets you specify exactly how many items will drop from this table
internal_droptablename: 
  TotalItems: <amount>
  MinItems: <amount> #defaults to TotalItems' value
  MaxItems: <amount> #defaults to TotalItems' value
  BonusLuckItems: <multiplier>
  BonusLevelItems: <multiplier>
#Conditions of the dropper
  Conditions:
  - condition 1
  - condition 2
  - ...
#Conditions of the person that triggered the drop (i.e. the killer of the mob)
  TriggerConditions:
  - condition 1
  - ...
  Drops:
  - <item/exp/droptable> <amount> <chance>
  - ...

DropTable Options

TotalItems: [number]

• Defines exactly how many items the table will drop
• Setting this causes item chances to be calculated as weights

MaxItems: [number]

• Defines a maximum number of items that will drop
• If only this is set, drops will run down the list unless the maximum number of items is reached

MinItems: [number]

• Defines a minimum number of items that will drop
• If only this is set, drops will run down the list until the minimum items is reached
• If you enable both MinItems and MaxItems, the chances for each table entry will become weights instead.

BonusLevelItems: [number]/[range]

• A modifier on the number of items dropped based on the mob's level
• Can be set as a range,`i.e. 0.2to0.5
• Works like:amount = amount + (mob_level * bonus_level_items)
• Requires thatTotalItems, MinItems, or MaxItems are set on the table

BonusLuckItems: [number]/[range]

• A modifier on the number of items dropped based on the killer's luck stat
• Can be set as a range, i.e. 0.15to8
• Works with Luck attribute, Luck-based enchants/curses, and Luck potion effects
• Works like: amount = amount + (luck * bonus_luck_items)
• Requires that TotalItems, MinItems, or MaxItems are set on the table

Examples

This mob will always drop a bunch of experience and some rotten flesh, but is also using a droptable which is described further below.

snow_loving_zombie:
  Type: zombie
  Health: 100
  Equipment:
  - snowsword:0
  Drops:
  - exp 75-125 1
  - rare_snowsword_droptable

This example is a droptable that has a 5 % chance of dropping a custom sword, but only if the mob is killed in an "ICE_PLAINS" biome and if a player is within 20 blocks.

rare_snowsword_droptable:
  Conditions:
  - biome{b=ICE_PLAINS}
  - playerwithin{d=20}
  Drops:
  - snowsword 1 0.05

In this example, the DropTable would drop 5 gold/diamonds if the player has no Luck, and 15-27 gold/diamonds if the player has a Luck V enchant.

LuckyDroptable:
  TotalItems: 5
  BonusLuckItems: 2to5
  Drops:
  - GOLD_NUGGET 1 1
  - DIAMOND 1 0.2

Equipment Droptables

It is also possible to use droptables to configure equipment setups. This type of droptables can be used either directly in the Equipment element of the mob or by using the Equip mechanic. The syntax itself is similar to the one of a "normal" droptable, except, in this case, it's necessary to specify an equipment slot.

Examples

# Droptable Config
Example_EquipmentDropTable:
  Drops:
  - LEATHER_HELMET HELMET 1 1
  - LEATHER_CHESTPLATE CHEST 1 1
  - CHAINMAIL_CHESTPLATE CHEST 1 0.5
  - DIAMOND_CHESTPLATE CHEST 1 0.1
  - NETHERITE_CHESTPLATE CHEST 1 0.05

# Mob Config
ExampleMob:
  Type: ZOMBIE
  Equipment:
  - Example_EquipmentDropTable

These configurations will allow ExampleMob to

• always have a leather helmet
• always have at least a leather chestplate, while having something more powerful if the chance is met
