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.
Before posting a bug, check your server console for a giant red error message.

no, you're missing something in the permissions. OP, by default has free captures.
But also, yes, you can disable direct captures in the config, lol.

Posted Sep 21, 2012Is there a way to disable catching a mob by striking it with the CaptureItem? i find on my server that if you hit the mob with the item in your hand instead of throwing it, the capture item isn't expended. making it possible to capture mob after mob with no consequence.
Am i missing something in the config?

Posted Sep 20, 2012Well nice work on this plugin and I look forward to your future releases. First plugin I tried to write gave me too many compile errors so I just gave up :)

Yes, they will be all positive nodes with parent/child inheritance.
It's so bad right now because this was my first plugin, lol. I didn't really have a grasp on permissions at the time, and it's a big thing to tackle, since it has to be changed for EVERY mob, which is why it hasn't been changed up to this point.

Posted Sep 19, 2012I see below you say "this whole system is about to be redone". I'm sure you're probably going this route, but instead of the perms saying which mobs you can't catch, it should say which mobs you can catch. I want one group to be able to catch mobs but not the groups that it inherits perms from.

You can find all of the nodes here. Keep in mind, some of them default to true, and some to OP.

This whole system is about to be redone.

I cant ignore cancelled because of a bug in bukkit causing all playerInteract events for right clicks on air to be automatically cancelled.

Posted Sep 13, 2012This is more like a compatibility problem, but if other plugins cancel the event when the player interact with an egg in hand, this plugin will do his work with that nice effect of throwing the egg and the player stays with infinite eggs, maybe increase the event priority and return on cancelled should fix C: just saying...

I'm not sure why people think it's my sole responsibility to fix every and all incompatibilities. If another plugin has a bug due to an item having an enchantment (which is I assume what the problem is), that's not my fault, nor is it within my capability to fix. If you are using a plugin that uses enchantments and one that doesn't support enchantments, you should EXPECT bugs.
Again, there's no way for me to keep up with all the incompatibilities and bugs in other plugins. The next version, however, will have a command to remove the data from a specific egg (remove the enchantment). I think that should be able to fix most issues with item econ plugins, etc.
If that's not good enough, disable data entirely or find a shop plugin that supports enchantments.

Posted Sep 13, 2012I've currently disabled villagers due to shopkeeper incompatibility, but just wondering on the status of this.
Also the (pretty serious) all mob egg duplication bug

Posted Sep 13, 2012shame on me. I just overlooked the fact that there's a permission to catch mobs for free. So thank you very much for the information that I apparently seem to need new eyeglasses ;)
Everything works fine for me now. thumbs up.

There are OP permissions for free captures as well as some other things, feel free to negate them.

Posted Sep 11, 2012Well, I can try whatever I want (original configuration, no other plugins and so on), but there's no minus in my pocket. Counts of eggs are the same, counts of redstone dust are the same.

I've never seen item ids formatted like that before, so I'm going to assume that they aren't bukkit ids, but ChestShop specific ids. If they choose to implement their own alpha-numeric code system, great for them, but plugins should not be expected to conform to said overcomplicated system.
With that said, I suppose adding a reset command is an acceptable solution ;)

A typical Ocelot MobEgg's ID is 383:98 ...
An Ocelot MobEgg caught with MobCatcher is 383:98-XX ..
XX seems to be an incremental value, and no two are the same eg: 383:98-aa 383:98-ab 383:98-ac
I believe no two are the same, because each animal/mob is infact unique (health, color, etc.)
A regular item, say an Iron Shovel's ID is 256 ... An Iron Shovel with Efficiency I is 256-a1, and it is always 256-a1 for an Iron Shovel with Efficiency I, while a MobCatcher Ocelot (or any other) Egg could be anything tailing the primary item ID.
Also, I am using /iteminfo to determine each item's full ID. I hope this explanation clears things up.
Additional Test Details
I just bred and captured 5 baby Mooshrooms, and the /iteminfo IDs I got for them is as follows...
383:96-kr
383:96-ks
383:96-kt
383:96-ku
383:96-kv
