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.

i tried using this plugin with the new MCPC build for 1.4.7 and got the following:

2013-01-16 16:09:42 [SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling MobCatcher v3.3 (Is it up to date?) java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/minecraft/server/v1_4_6/Item at me.jordan.mobcatcher.MobCatcher.removeStackability(MobCatcher.java:1152) at me.jordan.mobcatcher.MobCatcher.onEnable(MobCatcher.java:108) at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin.setEnabled(JavaPlugin.java:217) at org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPluginLoader.enablePlugin(JavaPluginLoader.java:374) at org.bukkit.plugin.SimplePluginManager.enablePlugin(SimplePluginManager.java:381) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.CraftServer.loadPlugin(CraftServer.java:291) at org.bukkit.craftbukkit.CraftServer.enablePlugins(CraftServer.java:273) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.j(MinecraftServer.java:543) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.e(MinecraftServer.java:509) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.a(MinecraftServer.java:461) at ho.c(DedicatedServer.java:194) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:665) at fy.run(ThreadMinecraftServer.java:16) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.minecraft.server.v1_4_6.Item at org.bukkit.plugin.java.PluginClassLoader.findClass(PluginClassLoader.java:35) at org.bukkit.plugin.java.PluginClassLoader.findClass(PluginClassLoader.java:30) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) ... 13 more

just wondered if there was anything that could be done as i would like to keep this plugin if my craftbukkit server upgrades to a 1.4.7 bukkit server.

Has the issue of spawning loops been brought to your attention? I throw a few spawn eggs and they infinitely spawn mobs until i stop the server.

I can't effect the way mobs are handled, sorry.

@Puremin0rez

That's probably because in order to use all of my data, I'm cancelling the egg's spawn and spawning my own mob.

This is a feature that will be included when I finish adding in Shield support

Could you possibly make MobCatcher obey WorldGuard flags?

Setting "mob-spawning: deny" still allows eggs to be used - I'm not sure if this is a issue with eggs themselves or the plugin.

Suggestion: bats captured and spawned again won't despawn. Could you make that? Thanks in advance :)

There's an OP default permission to bypass the costs. If that's not the issue, make a ticket.

ChestShop is picky about enchantments AND nbt tags? geez, this is an incredibly stupid plugin, as far as compatibility with items is concerned...

I'll add the clear command to my todo list.

We can't sell the eggs with informations... ChestShop plugin.

Sign-Based Protection not working too? don't protect any animals.

I'll not be adding translations at this time, due to the fact that I have a lot of other important features in mind, and translation is a time consuming re-write.

mobc clear doesn't work since I switched to the NBT tags, rather than enchantments. But is it still necessary?

First you would have to negate the Catch permissions, as everyone has them by default.

Then you could assign nodes to the groups you want like this,

Cows = mobcatcher.catch.peaceful.cow All peaceful mobs = mobcatcher.catch.peaceful.* All mobs = mobcatcher.catch.*.*

etc
