[EDIT]Making an Instance of Entity Drop an item.

[AndrewSherman]

Is there a way to make a specific instance of  Entity drop an additional item (to what is set in the vanilla class).

 

Basically I want a Zombie to spawn when a block is broken (which I have done and it works), and I want that Entity to hold and then drop an enchanted sword.

 

How would one do this? I have tried capturedDrops.add(ENTITYITEMvariable) and that didnt work...

If you want only those zombies to drop your item, I think you would be better off creating your own zombie (probably inheriting EntityZombie) and modifying the drops in-class. Otherwise, I think there is no way except involving base edits.

But isn't there something to do with NBT files? People that make adventure maps use it don't they?

 

Yeah, I could make a new mob though

Unless you want all zombies to drop enchanted swords, it'll definitely be easier to create your own mob.

You know there's an EntityLivingDrops event, right?

But I can't think of a way to easily link that to the breaking of a specific block, besides making a seperate entity.
