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.

Posted Mar 15, 2013@Malikk65 As far as I can see I don't think I'm getting any errors for the color of the cats so I'll try and make a ticket like you said. Having a config option for disabling untamed versions would work great so I'll make another ticket for that.
Can't wait for 1.5 compatibility :)

I've got a working version that's already saving and recalling the names on the mob's nametag.
Just making sure there arent any major bugs, and ill probably release within the hour unless i find something major.

Any errors?
The cat type used to be saved and recalled correctly, so it's possible something in bukkit changed that I haven't updated for. If you fill out a ticket, it helps me get this things sorted out much faster (or at all, lol).
Your first issue simply isnt accounted for in mobcatcher, mainly because those are the same entity type. Similar to blocks with data values, cat type and tamed dogs are handled in the same way. They all fall under the same base mob.
I'd be happy to add in a simple config option to disable the untamed versions, but i'll not be making a whole separate cost, chance, etc. Again, make a separate ticket for that as well

Posted Mar 12, 2013I'm using this plugin to enable the trading of iron-golems, snow-golems, tame cats and tame wolves however I've run into several issues.. Firstly I can't seem to disable the capturing of wild cats (ocelots) and wolves but keep the ability to capture tamed cats and dogs. Another even bigger issue is that when I put one of my cats in an egg then give it to another player when they spawn the cat again its a different color even though the egg says it's still the same.

Looks like the link in my sig works, but the button embedded in BukkitDev doesn't. Working on it tho.
Thanks for the "Thanks", even that goes a long way to keeping a dev motivated.
@Dee1010
You can capture both, but they are disabled by default in your config file. The enderdragon even has a custom spawn egg if you are using Spout.

Posted Mar 12, 2013Hey dude, just wanted to leave a "thank you". Since you made my wish for enderpearls come true, your plugin is the perfect solution for my server! I never want to miss it again!
Nyan-Craft.de says THANK YOU!
(By the way. Your donate-button is broken. It tells me to contact you about this. Transactions not possible!)

BukkitForge runs on an obfuscated version of NMS... I had a similar issue.

I guarantee it didn't just decide to stop working. Likely, you updated your CB and are now using incompatible versions.

Alright, well that exactly identifies the problem. Now I've got something to work with, lol.
This isn't at all an issue exclusive to BukkitForge. Simply put, you're using the wrong version of Craftbukkit for your version of MobCatcher. Whether or not you get to explicitly choose your CB version, idk. Thanks to the whole 'safeguard' system, Bukkit is no longer backwards or forwards compatible for some plugins. This includes MobCatcher, which now only works on the version it was explicitly listed for.
Since you're using MobCatcher v3.5, you should be using CB 1.4.7-R1.0; not just any old 1.4.7 version, but that exact version (Its the RB).
If you ARE using that exact version, then BukkitForge is doing something weird and I'm not sure I can do anything.

Tekkit classic runs on bukkit, but it is still using 1.2.5. Tekkit lite uses bukkitforge and 1.4.7. I am now getting these errors in the console:
5:17:45 PM CONSOLE: [WARNING] Task #1215 for MobCatcher v3.5 generated an exception 5:17:45 PM CONSOLE: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_4_R1.inventory.CraftItemStack

Typically, I would tell you to duplicate the error with no other plugins, but I'm not really sure what to do. And honestly, if you're running mods, there's about a thousand things that could be causing this. I can nearly guarantee you tho, if MobCatcher enables just fine, it's probably working just fine.
Not sure what I can do about this.
Also, I thought tekkit ran on Bukkit? What happened to that?

The plugin loads and there are no errors, but none of the commands do anything and eggs only damage the mob. I copied the config files from a regular bukkit server where it worked just fine, and tried op and bpermissions. It just doesn't seem to function at all after it loads.
