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 Aug 9, 2012could you add a permission that says yes or no if someone can use any of the features of this plugin. that would be really useful, because I can't seem to disable all features with the current permissions.

There were some weird villager bugs with 1.3.1 that I fixed with a work around that might be messing up the data... I'll mess with it, but likely we're just waiting for a CB update and then I'll put it back the way I had it before.
About stackability, I've had this thought too, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. First off, It would be a complete rewrite of my entire id number system, lol. Right now each egg has a unique id, I would have to switch to a system where, for example, a white sheep is always a certain ID and then set differently enchanted items to not stack (which i think is possible, im just not sure). The issue tho, is there's still data to be lost. While i could get the major things, mob type and color, you would still lose its health, age, etc. Anything that doesn't have a simple "true or false" kind of value.
If you're still going to making trade offs, I don't see the point of changing it from the current system.

Posted Aug 8, 2012I havnt checked it yet (havent had a chance to, but other admins have said it) but apparently all of our villagers are spawning as farmer villagers now when you use mob eggs. (We have stackable enabled). Could you check this? (:
Also... Is it possible to stack mob eggs if theyre the same? (Eg, white sheep stack with white sheep, but black sheep do not stack with white sheep) - Just a thought.

You can change it in the config, at the cost of losing mob data.

Posted Aug 8, 2012it'd be nice if you could adjust the stackableness of the eggs in complex config.

This is actually a bug on bukkit's part, not mine, but I've put in a work around until it's fixed. Shouldn't effect any cases except for villagers with SpawnReason.SpawnerEgg, which I normally cancel, but the SpawnReason is returning incorrectly.

No, I would only have positive nodes, but I would have them all default to true, rather than false, for the main capture permissions at least.
As a plugin user (before I started developing) it always frusterated me when you downloaded a plugin and it needing half an hour of configuring before it would do ANYTHING. I've made sure since day one that MobCatcher works for everyone right from the first download and then you can make changes as you see fit.
So yes, Ill be making all of the nodes positive, but i intend to have them default to basically how its setup now.

So you intend to keep the negative nodes, and add positive ones too?

I literally have just been tacking more permissions on top of this terrible layout since day one... lol. It's been needing a complete rewrite for awhile.
To give you a straight answer, yes, this is the next thing I intend to do. To actually set it up with parent and child nodes that make sense, lol.
I do, however, fully intend to keep the defaults as they are.

Posted Aug 4, 2012Maybe it's been suggested before, but would you be as kind to us as to rework your permission nodes so they're positive rather than negative? I know it's a lot of work, but I think it would simplify things hugely, e.g. instead, use:
Instead of (Example, pex) I have to use:
Which is confusing and makes it difficult to set up inheritance ranks in permissions plugins if I say 'Default group can't capture mobs' and then give someone two ranks 'VIP' and 'Elite', where VIP can catch mobs, but elite can't because it inherits Default rank. This means, if their Elite group takes precedence over their VIP group, even though they *have* permission to capture mobs in the VIP group, the permission plugin checks the Default group first (Because elite inherits default) and finds they're not allowed to.
This is the worst part of the plugin, but it's a brilliant plugin, and this would help make our lives much easier.
Thanks :)

it requires a spout client, i think. I'm not exactly sure what would happen for non-spout clients. Likely, you'll get flint that doesnt do anything for you if you capture a mob that needs a custom egg. So, every mob but snow Golems, Iron Golems, the enderdragon, tame wolves, and cats should still work perfectly fine.

Posted Aug 1, 2012For the new Spout Update, does it require spoutcraft clients to use? or does it function normally without spoutcraft, as long as there is spout on the server?
