This code makes it drop different item depending on the random number generated, which is half of what I want, the other half would be making the item it drops be more than if it's stack size is more than one, for example when it drops a diamond I want it to drop 1-5 diamonds and not just one diamond?

 

public Item getItemDropped(IBlockState state, Random random, int fortune) {

	int Chance = random.nextInt(7) + 1;
	if (Chance == 1) {
		return Items.bread;
		}
		else if (Chance == 2) {
		return Items.gold_ingot;
		}
		else if (Chance == 3) {
		return Items.ender_pearl;
		}
		else if (Chance == 4) {
		return Items.diamond;
		}
		else if (Chance == 5) {
		return Items.blaze_rod;
		}
		else if (Chance == 6) {
		return Item.getItemFromBlock(ModBlocks.adjustable_light_block_full);
		}
		else if (Chance == 7) {
		return Item.getItemFromBlock(ModBlocks.ancient_brick_block);
		}
		else {
		return null;
		}
	}

Look at how BlockOre does it, the method in that class is quantityDropped

I should have said this first but I tried using quantityDropped and if I put it to 7, it drops 7 different items  rather than 7 diamonds?

@Override
public List<ItemStack> getDrops(IBlockAccess world, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, int fortune) {
	Random random = new Random();
	int Chance = random.nextInt(4);
	if (Chance == 1) {
		return (List<ItemStack>) Items.arrow;
		}
		else if (Chance == 2) {
		return (List<ItemStack>) Items.apple;
		}
		else{
		return null;
	}
}

 

Okay I did this now but how do I add the drop quantity for each individual item, and also is my current code correct?

 

What would be a good example of a list I need then? And what would I return?

Thanks for your help, I used a HarvestDropsEvent instead because I already knew how to use that, I just readjusted it to my needs.

Why not? It works with what I need, please tell me what the problem is?

The problem is that events should be used to alter vanilla/other things.

When you have access to your own class you should utilize it.

 

There is always only one optimized algorithm, all other are bad ones.

 

In this case you should be using getDrops.

 

List list = new List(); // +generics
list.add(item);
return list;

Okay thanks but with the list, what would I do to make it the item, the quantity and also the chance of getting that single item? For example:

 

Diamonds, 1 (amount), (20% chance of dropping)

 

Bread, 5 (amount), 50% (chance of dropping)

 

Redstone, 3-7 (amount), 30% (chance of dropping)

 

 

 

 

I belive list is of List<ItemStack>. Simply put new ItemStacks with stackSized fitting your needs.

 

As to chances - use Random class.

Generate nextDouble() and for e.g 20% do double < 0.2, for next 40% do 0.2 <= double < 0.6, etc.
