- Compatible with all trading plugins.
- Very simple, throw an egg at a mob and it will be turned into a spawn egg.
- Permissions support.

Posted Dec 19, 2012We have a closed economy on our server. This means that staff don't spawn any money and there are no admin shops. Well how do we get income? Through players paying for stuff! Eg. server taxes and in this case, catching mobs :D
Can this please be added soon if it's easy? I've been waiting to use this for a month or so and been holding off for the server account.

Hey sorry about that, I didn't see it until now :(. Yes that could probably be done very easily. But what do you need it for? :S

Posted Nov 17, 2012small issue ... If you enable itemcost and Vaultcost then it will remove money from your wallet if you not have the item in your inventory ... it says that it removed the money and it also says you not have the needed item
so you lose money but not get the mob

Posted Nov 10, 2012Hey can you take a look at this ticket? This should be a small feature request and I'm sure others will find it useful. I'll be adding this plugin after we get this feature!

Posted Oct 29, 2012In addition to Grief Prevention, can you make it not working inside a catacomb. Catacombs is a very popular dungeon plugin that uses a protected area to set up a dungeon, however this plugin allows players to capture all the mobs inside, making the dungeon too easy.
Here's the plugin: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/catacombs/
Thanks.

Something must have changed, it used to work with GriefPrevention. I'll try and fix it in the next version for craftbukkit 1.4.

Posted Oct 22, 2012Can you make this compatible with http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/grief-prevention/Grief Prevention (GRIEF PREVENTION).
Currently, even if an animal is protected by another plugin, your plugin supercedes those protections and turns the animal into an egg.
Thanks for your time,
Mike

Thanks.
Yes I can also confirm that 1.19 works with 1.3.2. The downloads page has been updated to reflect this.

Posted Sep 26, 2012Thanks for creating and sharing this plugin.
I have verified that Egg Catcher 1.19 works without problem on CraftBukkit 1.3.2-R0.1 with Windows 7 64-bit and Ubuntu Server 12.04 64-bit on Java 1.7u7 64-bit. Was also using bPermissions 2.9.23

Awesome video :D Actually you can enable the catching of baby animals in the config files. It's disabled per default as it allows you to catch a baby animal and spawn it as an adult. I do not want to change the way the spawner eggs work to fix this as this can break compatibility with shop/trading plugins. So instead I kept it simple on purpose and just disallowed it.
Same kinda problem you discovered with the slimes. It would probably be possible to fix this the same way as it is done with baby animals.
