Solved Removing block drops

[TawnyFrogmouth]

One can prevent specific items from dropping upon mob death with

remove ghast tears from drops

How can one prevent specific items from dropping when breaking a block?

It's a little hacky but one can remove all drops from a block, including xp, by doing something like this

on mine of emerald ore:
    cancel event
    set event-block to air

In my case, however, I do not want to remove the dropped xp, only the dropped items. How can I achieve this?

On death:
    Victim is a zombie
    Remove 20 rotted flash from drops

Thank you for the reply. I do know how to remove specific items from mob drops---that's what my example code does. What I want to know is how to do the same for drops from mined blocks.

There's no way to directly do this. It's not a Skript limitation, the Spigot API just doesn't support getting or modifying drops of a block break event. The best you can do is looping dropped items and trying to determine which ones were dropped. The simplest example using just vanilla Skript is:

on mine:
    wait 1 tick
    set {_drops::*:} to dropped items in radius 0.75 of event-location

Naturally, this isn't 100% safe since nearby dropped items could get included even though they weren't part of the block break. To make it even safer, you can install SkStuff and check the age of the drop, which will make it nearly foolproof. This is an example of a section I'm using on my server for an autosmelt enchantment that modifies the block drops:

on mine:
    wait 1 tick
    loop dropped items in radius 0.75 of event-location:
        tag "Age" of nbt of loop-entity <= 2
        <do stuff>

Okay, this is good to know, tyvm for the explanation. It's very puzzling that Spigot does the analogous thing for mobs but doesn't support this!
