Has someone been tinkering with mob drop rates? I noticed that Wither skelly head drops have become almost non exsistent very quickly, to the point where I gathered 3-4 stacks of coal from them, but not a single head. (looting 3 should yield 4% chance of wither skelly head drop iirc) Has this been altered recently? Also, Stephen pointed out to me that (normal) Pigs are dropping Quartz Shards ?! I think this may be a result of craftbook tweak/error? They cannot be made into quartz blocks, and has the item id: 406:-1#5D
I would assume that playerheads is to blame for wither head drops, but as for quartz shard... Someone may have screwed up adding a pigman drop, I don't know Sent from my damned apple device
You know that dungeon well CyberVic was messing with mob drops for like bosses and stuff and it may have gotten out I too went wither farming and it seemed normal yesterday without looting i was getting a head every stack of coal
The plugin cyber added was called PhatLoots or something, something in there possibly messed up. CyberVic
ok, thanks for the replies, will wait to hear from CyberVic or sharqman something got borked along the way Also, it was normal pigs that were dropping quartz shards, not pigmen.
I don't think someone "messed up", but rather there's a setting somewhere that allows that kind of thing that no one is aware of right now. And that setting needs to be off.
I'm almost 100% sure that I have disabled special mob drops from PhatLoots. I will double and tripple check. The only way PhatLoots can even replace a given entity's loot is if there is a loot table setup explicitly to replace that mob. So someone would have had to create a pig loot list then assigned that pig loot list to pigs. I'm pretty sure that's a hard thing to do by accident. It is very possible I don't 100% understand how that system is supposed to work and it's doing something that's hardcoded but I doubt that. Other plugins I cannot speak for.
There were in fact a few settings set to true, settings which shouldn't matter as I've stated there are no loot tables setup for pigs (or withers if you're familiar with the wither skull drop issue), but just to be safe just turned ALL that stuff to off.
Apparently the quartz pig drops come from CraftBook. No further explanation though on the post as to whether it is configurable.
Config fixed, a lot of stuff in craftbook that I have no clue exists, going to have to sit down and run through it one day. It actually was increasing the head drop rate.
That was my reasoning for why i suggested taking it off creative. Also space discovered a while ago cauldrons are enabled lol.
OK, just tested, took out 12 wither skellys in 25mins, got 1 head. Pigs didn't drop any quartz shards either re. craftbook, yeah there are loads, some are good too.. Perhaps some of them could be added to vip perks? Dispenser recipes can be fun, though most will probably be over powered. The fan could be funny though http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/CraftBook/Dispenser_Recipes
