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 Apr 1, 2013I received this exception a while ago... Possibly because they added the new dispenser things, and you're trying to cast it to a dispenser? Willing to get config if I need to, but I don't think its necessary here. Bukkit 1.5.1 MobCatcher 3.7

Posted Apr 1, 2013I was wondering where i could get the new updated version of bukkit, because whenever I throw an egg, it just starts mass spawning them from the one, and I am not able to catch mobs with eggs.

All the catch permissions default to true, you'll have to negate them in your default group

I'm not aware of any issue with the witch and golem, but if you think there is one you should make a ticket.

It's very difficult to get this working since the safeguard update before a beta build is out. There are too many changes to account for and I simply cannot update for every dev build.
If there are errors in your console I can help you, otherwise there's not much you can do besides downgrade to CB build 2698 and see if that works, or wait for a beta build and a MobCatcher update for that version.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but that's how Bukkit apparently wants it.
@IkinesyKx
No, I dont. I had to wait for an issue in Bukkit to be fixed before I could remove my workaround, which was causing this issue. I don't believe it will work with anything prior to 1.5.

Posted Mar 28, 2013Hi, do you have a 1.4.7R1.0 version of your plugin without the villager spawn issues ? There is an issue about irongolem and witch no?

I looked at the terminal as I threw eggs, and couldn't find any error messages. I'll tell you though, sometimes it seems like if I throw an egg directly at a chicken with the plugin installed, the egg completely disappears without any particles showing. I'm not sure if I'm seeing it right, but thought I'd mention it. Thanks for replying so quickly!

Are there any error messages in your server console?
I built against an older 1.5 version, so it's possible that there was a change that broke my plugin that I'm not aware of. That's why I don't like updating for dev builds, they're unstable.

Hi Malikk65! This is an awesome plugin. I've used it on my server for quite a while now.
I recently updated to Craftbukkit build #2689 for 1.5.0. When updating, I chose version 3.6 of Mobcatcher, and did not install Vault or Spout. Unfortunately, I can't get Mobcatcher to work! I've tried entering commands, and those work, but I can't seem to capture any mobs. I keep on throwing eggs, but nothing happens. Help? Thanks in advance!

I would think there's probably an addon for that.

I very adamantly want all of my plugins to work right out of the box for most servers. This is so when someone loads it up for the first time, their first impression is of the plugin working; not configuring and settings up permissions because no one can use it.
I've you're having issues setting up your permissions, I'd be happy to help, but I won't be changing the defaults.

What are the chances of making the mobcatcher.catch.* permission false by default?

Wait, stopping them from being harmed stops capture? I had no idea it was that simple.
Now I just need to contact WorldGuard and try to get them to add a damage-mobs flag.

I've not really had much time to be working on this, but I have begun and made progress on Shield support. It's not been a huge priority, since any plugin that stops people from damaging mobs would stop them from being captured. I go back and forth on whether this is even necessary.

So whats the current status on Shield support?
Personally, if you havent started, I would prefer you just implement worldguard support because 95% of all people are going to be using it. Not many people are going to be willing to install another plugin (shield) just for region support.

MobCatcher 3.6 is only for CB 1.5-R0.1. Any other version will not work, and the server console should be telling you this on startup/reload.
