Managing Rewards & Drop Weight

Explanation

First, let's understand how the format works.

mobs:
  ENTITY_TYPE: 
   - 'PAY WEIGHT' 

ENTITY_TYPE would be something like PIG or COW. You can find a list of valid entities herearrow-up-right.

PAY would be what the player would be paid if the roll lands.

WEIGHT would be the distribution value (or chance) of that reward.

To explain weight further, a weight is a piece of distribution. When the plugin rolls and picks a reward, it uses a "total weight" - adding all the reward weights together. For example: A reward with a weight of 20 in a total weight of 200, means it will have a 10% chance of dropping said reward. These weight values do not need to be within a 100 total weight. Use this weight system to your advantage.

Examples

mobs:
  PIG:
   - '10' 
# $10 with a weight of 100, will always drop
circle-info

Values with no weight defined will assume Weight = 100

mobs:
  PIG:
   - '10' # $10 with a weight of 100
   - '20' # $20 with a weight of 100 
   
# 200 total weight | each value is 50% chance
circle-info

Total weight under 100 will assume Total Weight = 100 This allows nothing to be dropped.
