Rare Egg Drop in Skyblock/Factions

[Younisco]

No...
One in 10,000 mobs killed will drop an egg, that's just enough.

Then if you have a looting 3 sword, it takes a third off.

 

[Sophie]

1 in 100,000 seems reasonable. That way we might not see them for a few days :3

or months...

 

[NyxieCore]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS. CREEPER EGGS NEEDED

Actually, that depends on how it's coded. If we put the spawn egg in an inventory slot (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots, or hand slot) looting increases the chance of a drop by 1% per level. This is how I would do it using a custom spawner, however this would be made with a plugin. The plugin would be coded to say something like "if zombie slain by player, pick random number between 1 and 10000. If random number is 10000, spawn zombie spawn egg item." and so on for every other mob. Like I've said before, I have very limited knowledge of coding with plugins, so that's just a guess as to how it would be done. We would actually have to put in code to make looting affect the drop chance.

The coding wouldn't be an issue. I have code that would work, but I know Rubik would want to do it himself.

Skyblock lags because of the colossal amount of chunk that are generated whenever someone starts a new island. Lag is also caused because chunks have to be reloaded whenever someone goes back to their island. Lag and SkyBlock essentially come hand in hand, very hard to avoid.

Couldn't this still be implemented into Factions? As well as a fix for mob spawning, I want mah gold!

There allstar ninja clearly explains where all the sb lag comes from, and the only moment when that implementation would cause the most tiny amount of lag (nearly none) would be when an egg drops because that'd be one more entity until someone picks it up

Please don't make looting affect the drop chance, just because in 1.8 mojang made it so that looting wouldn't add like 1% of the probabilities there already are, like if the probabilities are 30%, with looting it'd be 33%, but in 1.8 it just adds 1% per looting level, so spawner spawned mobs would have 1% more chance to drop the egg per looting level, and @Tacosbefriends , you said you don't want spawner spawned mobs to drop their eggs

 

[marlutin]

Oh, and sorry for text wall

 

[TangoRaptor_]

I'd approve this for factions.

Also looting would then make it so that the chances are 1 in 100 for level one looting, 2 in 100 for level two looting and 3 in 100 for level three

Imagine this: person one (has no looting sword):yay, I have 10000 zombies on my capsule from my mob farm, I'll kill them and get one zombie egg, yay!
Person two (has looting III sword): oh yeah! I have 100 skeletons in a capsule from my mob farm, I'll get three skeleton eggs!
See the problem?

no looting: 10000 mobs=1 spawn egg
Looting III: 100 mobs=3 spawn eggs/33,3333333333333333333333 mobs=1 spawn egg
Huge difference

what? Wouldn't looting just make it 3/10,000 instead of 1/10,000?

 

[marlutin]

Nope, they changed it in 1.8, noow it just adds 1% to the chances there already are. 0.001% with looting I is 1.001%.

 

[Tacosbefriends]

Looting adds 1% to drop chance per level as of 1.8, so yes, it would drastically increase chances of a mob spawn egg. However, as I said before, the owners could code it so that looting doesn't affect the drop chance. I personally think it would be nice if looting increased the drop chance a little bit, but not by a whole percent per level.

Then let looting have peace and prosperity on spawn eggs

I think we'd probably disable certain mobs from dropping eggs... xD

It would be cool if you could get something like a NPC spawn egg by killing a lot of people in the pvp arena on skyblock

That will not happen. Sorry :P

It's an emerald perk. People pay a ton of money for emerald rank. Maybe players have a very small chance of dropping their head though?
