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.

Posted Mar 22, 2012When throwing a ocelot mob egg, it spawns a iron golem, can you fix that? btw, can you make all entities spawn when shooting from a dispenser?

Just use bukkits default permissions file, make only one group, and give that negative permission to everyone.

By default, there are OP permissions that allow you to have free captures and disregard capture chances. To turn these off, you will need to add negative permission nodes for whatever groups your OPs are in.

1. Not sure if I'm missing something or if ops aren't charged to capture, but Whenever I capture a mob it dosen't take any redstone or money from my account.
2. Again, Not sure if its because i'm an op. (I'll check tonight when my players get on) but, I set the chance for hostile and peaceful mobs to 50 but I catch the mobs 100% of the time.
3. Would it be possible to have the mobs tamed after you catch them? As in, If I go out and catch a zombie. When I spawn that zombie. He won't attack me and he'll follow me around. I used to have a plugin that did something similar, but i'm not sure if its been updated. We really enjoyed having it on our server

Brandonvd is correct. This is already a feature, with default OP override permissions.

Posted Mar 20, 2012Hello again, you should add to the config that only owner of his pet (Cat,Dog) could catch him.

no, bukkits having some issues with supposedly persistent mobs despawning. I would suggest keeping them in eggs if you're leaving them for a long period of time, until bukkit fixes this issue.

Posted Mar 19, 2012Hey, i dont know if this is because of your plugin, but players have said that their dog,cats keep disappearing, i think they are despawning.. Maybe its because of your plugin ?

I hadn't really intended for anyone to use this with non-mob entities. The point of the plugin is the legitimate use of spawn eggs, lol.
Firstly, the non-mobs don't work with the spawn eggs anymore, that was taken out with a recent bukkit update on purpose. So, it only works by throwing because I manually spawn it, rather than via the spawn egg.
Not sure I wanna deal with adding code for all non-mobs for direct spawns, but I can fix that loop error easy enough.

Posted Mar 18, 2012When throwing monstereggs with non-mobs entities, like endercrystal, or minecart. The monsteregg doesn't disappear and keeps spawning those enties until a reload. Could you fix that?
and could you make it possible to spawn non-mobs enitites without throwing them, so just on the normal way, right clicking on a block?

That's an interesting idea, but I'd like to try and keep the config as simple as possible. If i can think of a clean way to do that, ill consider adding it. Likely tho, I'll be working on the mob spawner addition first.

Posted Mar 17, 2012A request: would it be possible to have different costs associated for use of
1 - held item ( have to touch ) - hardest - cheapest
2 - thrown item - easier - mid
3 - shot item aka bow being used in capture. - easiest - expensive
Say adding the extra amount onto the cost of the capture
Ive got it set to spidereye at the moment, and enabled snowballs for the young niece to capture her ocelot :). But would like to make the easier
means more expensive to make it not too easy and ruin things.
Thanks for another great plugin as well
