RedNesto’s Box O’ Utils
This plugin let server owners control what block/mob drops.
In addition, you can activate the fast-harvest (harvest a crop by right-clicking it).
All the features of this plugin which uses items are compatible with my library FileInventories, so check it out! It will let you totally customize items (enchantments, displayname, etc…).
More features may come in the future. If you would like to see something more in this plugin let me know in my Discord Server.
If you found a bug, please report it in the issue tracker.

Please add support for universeguard (regions) for the drops works in regions.
I’m not sure what you want. It works fine for me.
Ops. What I wanted to say was a suggestion to add.
It is for the drops to work also with regions and worlds.
I use pixelmon for example, and I like to make some cool jokes, and its plugin is perfect for this … so I suggest supporting UniverseGuard for more fun use. Sorry for the lack of information.
So you want the plugin to still loot CustomDrops even if the UniverseGuard region flags prevents mobs drops ?
No, just a way of specifying where the drop would work. The claims of griefprevention, permissions or universeguard regions.
Good for anyone who likes to apply something rpg on the server. 
To use byte-items, is that right?
mobs {
“minecraft:bat” {
byte-items=[
{
type=“stick”
chance=25
}
]
}
}
stick = id of byte-items
Oh I see, regions filters sounds like a nice feature to add.
And about ByteItems, it does not work that way. You should do this instead:
mobs {
"minecraft:bat" {
drops=[
{
provider=byte-items
type="stick"
chance=25
}
]
}
}
Wow, thanks for the help.
Are you planning to apply support fo pixelmon too?
<3
It depends on what you mean by pixelmon support.
Also it may take some time before the next update, I already have a new feature to add and have not had enough free time lately.
The plugin already works with “pixelmon: pixelmon” (all wild pokémons), but not in a specific pokémon. It’s just a suggestion in detail.
Thank you for the assistance. <3
Well I have no idea how pixelmon is handling its entities, I’ll see what I can do for that.

This is a massive update
Some parts of the plugin were refactored/rewritten, the most notable one being configuration loading.
This means there may be regressions, please check that your configurations are working.
If something broke please report it on the issue tracker or in my discord server

Requirements
Applicable to BlocksDrops, MobsDrops and reuses.
Allow to create conditions to decide whether a loot ore reuse must be processed or not.
Currently, the following requirements are available out of the box:
- Data: checks data (e.g. skull type can be of a player, skeleton, zombie…) present on some game objects (blocks and entities are supported)
- Please note that right now Sponge implementations are missing stuff needed for this to work, so it is useless currently
- Permissions: checks if the player that caused the loot to drop has the configured permission
- Worlds: checks if the player that caused the loot to drop is in a configured world
- Protected regions: checks if the broken block or killed mob is within specified regions
- GriefPrevention claims and UniverseGuard regions are supported
