This mod adds configurable care packages (or drops) in your world that contain a variety of configurable items.

By default, every 7th in-game night at sunset all players will be alert as to the X Y and Z co-ordinates of the next drop. The drop will then spawn at midnight. If nobody captures the drop before sunrise, the drop will despawn (by default).

This mod includes some default drop contents but most modpack authors are advised to change these.

Usage

This mod is primarily designed for worlds that have a world border set (using the Vanilla /worldborder command). However, if no world border is set drops will instead spawn within a configurable radius of world spawn (default 2000).

Configuration

Drop Contents

The config file (drops.cfg) contains a string array. Each line that is added to the file represents one item. These items are configured in the following format:
item [rarity] [minStackSize] [maxStackSize] [nbtJSON]
All parameters marked with [] are optional.

item is the item id (e.g. minecraft:saddle)
rarity is an integer > 0 (bigger = more common)
minStackSize is an integer > 0 and < 65, representing the minimum amount of that item that can spawn in a stack
maxStackSize is an integer > 0 and < 65, representing the maximum amount of that item that can spawn in a stack
nb: if minStackSize is present, so must maxStackSize
nbtJSON is a JSON string, in NBT format.

Other Configuration

You are also able to tweak: number of days until a drop; radius from spawn drops will spawn (if world border is not enabled).
You are also able to toggle: beam displaying above a drop; drop despawning at the end of a night; drop spawning with a lightning flash.

Testing

To test your drop configuration, you can use the /drop-force <now> command.
If the <now> parameter is not given (i.e. /drop-force), the drop will spawn at the next midnight.
If the <now> parameter is given (i.e. /drop-force now), the drop will spawn instantly regardless of current world time.
