MobCatcher
MobCatcher
Capture mobs and get eggs legitimately:
Version: 3.18
This project has moved over to SpigotMC!
Thank you guys so much for all the downloads on BukkitDev. Head on over to SpigotMC to download the latest version of MobCatcher.
This page will no longer be updated.
MobCatcher allows players to capture mobs and get the corresponding spawn eggs. This is useful for trading and transporting mobs from player to player or even across worlds. As well as having a configurable capture item, MobCatcher also boasts configurable mob types and item costs per capture, bringing a new economic value to mob types both peaceful and hostile. MobCatcher is able to store and recall mob specific data saved to specific spawn eggs. This means things like capturing and spawning colored sheep, baby animals, and tamed wolves is possible! This is done via a separate .dat file which saves data for each mob and removes it when that mob is spawned.Try it out on your server today!
This plugin collects basic usage information for mcstats.org. You may opt out in the generated pluginMetrics config file.

MobCatcher will NOT work if you are not using the version of CB it was intended for. Due to the Bukkit "safeguard' system, MobCatcher will break every version change. Do NOT post tickets or comments about ClassNotFoundExceptions or infinite spawning glitches as these are caused by you using the wrong version.

Posted Oct 1, 2013Hey Everybody,
I've uploaded MobCatcher 3.13 for CB 1.6.4-R0.1 #2889. As with most of my recent dev build releases, I can't guarantee that it works on any other CB build than #2889. Likewise, I don't even remotely care about bug reports for other versions :) So use the version I wrote it for or keep your errors to yourself.
I had bug testers do a quick run down and just make sure the main mechanics were all working but if you find any issues, please make a ticket.
Thanks for your patience

I'm unable to test the update due to some complications with my mojang account :/
I'm sending it to a few bug testers to make sure everything is working properly and will upload it tomorrow if everything goes smoothly. Sorry for the delay, guys.

Posted Sep 27, 2013May I humbly request an update for 1.6.4? My players are begging for MobCatcher back and a good deal of them are too young and dumb to downgrade to 1.6.2, even with the new launcher.

The catch permission nodes default to true. Negate them in your default group and then add them back for your VIPs.
mobcatcher.catch.*.*

Posted Sep 26, 2013How do I disallow default players from being able to catch mobs? I just want them for VIP.
Still on 1.6.2, I just don't understand how to make it so ONLY VIP can use them.
