PacificSMP

PvP drops

Configure how active Dolphins drop when one player kills another.

When a player is killed by another player, PacificSMP can remove active Dolphins from the victim and drop them as items at the death location. The feature is enabled by default and drops one Dolphin.

What happens on a kill

A player kills another player

The plugin works out who the killer is. Deaths with no player behind them drop nothing.

The drop count is set

It starts at pvp-drop.amount. If the killer has the Assassin Dolphin active, one more is added.

The victim loses those Dolphins

That many of the victim's active Dolphins are removed and fall as items where they died. The victim can never lose more than they have active.

How a kill is resolved

The killer can be the direct player, a player who fired a projectile, the owner of a tamed pet, the player source of primed TNT, or the player source of a lingering area effect cloud. Deaths without a player killer do not cause a Dolphin drop.

Choose the number and type

SettingDefaultOptions
pvp-drop.enabledtruetrue or false
pvp-drop.amount1Base number to drop, at least 1
pvp-drop.pickRANDOMRANDOM, FIRST or LAST active Dolphin
pvp-drop.disabled-worlds[]World names where no drop happens

The total cannot exceed the number of Dolphins the victim has active. The selected Dolphins are removed from the victim's active list and dropped as tagged items.

Assassin bonus

The Assassin Dolphin has kill-bonus-drops: 1. If the killer has Assassin active, one is added to the configured base amount. If multiple active custom types have a bonus, the highest value applies rather than adding all bonuses together.

For example, with the default base amount of one, a killer with Assassin active can cause up to two victim Dolphins to drop. If the victim has only one active Dolphin, only one can drop.

Disable drops in a world

Add a world name to pvp-drop.disabled-worlds. The comparison ignores letter case.

pvp-drop:
  disabled-worlds:
    - safe_spawn

This setting blocks the entire PvP Dolphin drop for deaths in that world, including an Assassin bonus. See the Configuration page for the other config defaults.
