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.

Not at the moment due to limitations with the bukkit api. I'll be adding it as soon as I can.

hm...
It would be awesome if you showcased the data being saved for each mob, because that's really what sets MobCatcher apart from other similar plugins. Try and get like, an armored zombie or something.
Just post a link in the comments here when it's finished and I'll consider putting it up. Thanks :)

Posted May 20, 2013Hey Malikk65, great plug-in :)
My server's been using it for, what, 1 month now? And we've decided we wanted to make a showcase, showing people what it is, what it does and what permissions / configurations it has, as well as a recommended pre-made setup for permissions and configurations.
That being said, I was wondering if you were interested in using the video I'm making for it. It is the first video of this kind I've ever made, but I hope it will be good enough. Of course you don't have to reply immediately with an yes or a no, showing interest will suffice for now.
Also, if you reply quick enough and wish to add something specific on the video it might actually make it.

Have you tried doing that and it didn't work? I had thought i'd added support for data values a while back, but that might have only been for the costs. I'd check now but im not at my computer.

Posted May 14, 2013Would it be possible to have "egg:20" (egg with sub ID 20) be the capture item? Basically this would allow for a custom catch item. You could use a recipe plugin (e.g. 1 egg + 1 gold nugget = 1 egg:20) to make MobCatcher eggs more difficult to aquire.

I'm aware of that issue and it didn't seem like a huge priority. I'll iron that out soon though.
@funAlways
I've been wanting to add this for awhile, but I'm not sure how that data is handled in the bukkit api. Now that I'm done with school ill seriously look into getting this added.
@semistro
Yeah, I can add a config option for that.
@All of you
You guys should all make tickets. That will make sure I remember to do all of these things.

No.
You avoid that issue by using MobCatcher with the version of CB that it was written for. If you are choosing to use incompatible versions and there are errors/bugs, that's your own problem.
