Happy to wait but if it's going to be a while longer, we need to look for another solution for our server.
Any indication would be ideal, thanks

Posted Sep 12, 2020I am using this plugin on my server with creature capture and I try to place down any type of spawner and it turns into a pig spawner. I am op so I have all the permissions so that shouldn't be the problem. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
