SilkSpawners - Harvest mob spawners with silk touch

Version v8.3.0

Thanks for MILLIONS of downloads!

A sign shop addon for buying and selling spawners can be found here: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/12028/

Description

Ever wanted to move a mob spawner? With SilkSpawners, you can now pick up and move monster spawners.
If you use a pickaxe with the silktouch enchantment you will receive the spawner again.
You can control each mob spawner, allow crafting and of course mod support.

I'm happy to hear about your opinion, just leave a comment with a feature request, bug, improvement or just a personal opinion.

As a reminder I want to say that I worked very long on this and really appreciate a 'thank you' in form of a donation! (See details on the bottom or the button on the top)

Thanks @Koz4christ

Known Bugs

If sign shops are not working, you may want to try my custom sign shop addon: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/12028/
Mobs like Ghasts or Giants are too big for the spawner, this a Minecraft bug and I can't fix that
Some older Essentials versions/ports are not updated properly for 1.8. There is a maintained fork called EssentialsX you should try.
- You can find the source here: GitHub
- And the download from Jenkins here: Jenkins
If you use Gui Sign Shop and users are unable to place spawners, you need to grant them the guishop.spawner permission from Gui Sign Shop
Holographic Displays makes Slime spawners non functional

Hey,
you will need the MCPC+ build higher than #556 to have the affected changes!
I made some changes in the 3.3.X versions to add new mobs the plugin found automatically. That means on older builds you may need to add them manually to the mobs.yml!
It seems that MPCP+ is ready for 1.6.2, too :)

Hey xGh0sTkiLLeRx,

On the latest update, does the plugin recognize new mod mobs? Also, is it necessary for MCPC+ to update to 1.5.2 for the update to take place? It seems to still be recognizing the same list as before... but that may be because I'm still on 1.5.1.

I'm afraid I cannot update to 1.5.2 yet, as there is one important mod I use that hasn't updated yet, so I'm stuck on 1.5.1 until that one mod updates. Do I lose the benefits of new versions of the plugin because of this?

There is a toggle in the config: "usePermissions", make sure to set it to true.
I'm thinking about making the default true anyways...

Is there an "on by default" setting I'm missing? I am trying to limit use of this plugin to donators only; however, people who don't have the permissions set are able to silk touch spawners by default.

Like I said, I'm unable to test it at the moment with my netbook. Without a real error message I can't fix anything until I'm back at home to do some testing :/
Sorry guys!

Strange. I'm currently not at home and only equipped with a netbook (means I can't test, just code...). If you or anyone else manages to get some detailed information I can look what's wrong.
Which Spigot version are you using?

Are you using version 3.3.2 (#119 on Jenkins) or the version for 1.6.1?

@ellbristow

Same question from above here.
Also without an error message I can't fix anything ;)

@Jesterface23

A 0 spawner would spawn a pig, too. That's minecraft behavior. You can disable all mobs in the mobs.yml that way every spawner should drop a pig spawner, IIRC

Im on the latest build of the plugin and i noticed now the spawners drop as what they were when mined. Is there a way to change it in the config so it drops a normal id 52 spawner with no mobs on it instead of a id 52:90 spawner?

edit- Ive tried changing the defaultCreature: 90 in the config to 0, 1, and no numbers but it just reset back to 90 in the config

No problem, was just a small update for CB 1.6.2
You mean Jenkins? Is updated ;)
And the repo for Maven is auto-updated, too: http://ci.dustplanet.de/plugin/repository/everything/de/dustplanet/SilkSpawners/

@Larsbarst

Build #119 on Jenkins or wait until approved :)

@deaddude22

Depends ;P
Starbucks is more expensive with up to 5 bugs for a big late or something, while other stores are offering the same for 3€ ;)
