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.

I know for a fact that this was working correctly when I updated last, so it's likely an issue (a compatibility issue) between MobCatcher and your particular version of Bukkit.
There's already a ticket for this, but adding your CB version in the comments would help me out.

Posted Jan 19, 2013Ever since 3.3 - even with savedataandremovestackability set to false, mob eggs don't want to stack and this causes giant issues with Chest Shop not wanting to sell them.

Posted Jan 18, 2013Hey Malikk,
I had a system before of letting users use /mobc clean and then selling their eggs to chest shops. However mobc clean only does enchantments? Is there any chance that we can get a cmd to wipe all data? Or maybe just exchange all the eggs in your current item stack to default versions without all the cool data, so that they can be sold in chest shops.
Its very late, hopefully that made sense!
Thanks!

Thanks to Bukkit's new system, any plugin using non-bukkit API now completely breaks every minecraft version change.
This is supposedly to stop plugins from causing damage to servers, although in my personal experience, my plugins have only had issues directly related to this system that would never have occurred otherwise.
When I update to 1.4.7 this issue will fix itself, but until then you can thank Bukkit for breaking a plugin that otherwise would still be compatible with the new version.

I'll hold off updating till you do, too many love this plugin for it to be disabled even for a day.

Yup. It had that same bug last version change. Simply updating it fixes it, but that's a bit of a chore.
I'll hopefully have time to do it later today.

If you are using the correct version of Bukkit for your version of MobCatcher, make a ticket.
Until I hear otherwise I'm going to assume your not.

That's because this isn't built for 1.4.7.

Posted Jan 16, 2013Could it be possible to allow for catching mobs with eggs from dispensers?
I wouldn't mind if there was no cost for it, since getting a mob in front of a dispenser would be challenge enough in my book. I use Craftbook and I want to make a system that traps villagers in eggs and then siphons the eggs using item pipes into chest shops for sale.
