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.

I was going to install this, but then I saw in red:
"MobCatcher will NOT work if you are not using the version of CB it was intended for."
Then the download for the latest version says:
"R: MobCatcher 3.18 for 1.7.10.R0.1 #3105 for CB 1.7.9-R0.1 Jul 19, 2014"
My question is this: WHAT VERSION IS THIS FOR?!!! 1.7.10 or 1.7.9? This is VERY confusing.
Thank you for the prompt update for 1.7.10! :)
I've uploaded a build for 1.7.10-R0.1 #3105. Please wait for it to be approved.
@Pocketkid2
Making the plugin less version specific is not possible without losing most of the features that make it so unique. Believe me, I wish it was more than you will ever know, lol.
@Xiclitchli
It's still alive, I just don't have the time to keep it as up to date as I used to. Once I finish up this other major project of mine I'll put the time into this and my other plugins to get them up to date.
So, is this plugin still alive?
Can you update this to either 1.7.10 or make the code less version-specific? I want to use the latest spigot builds AND this plugin, which cannot currently happen...
Hello, players on my server are able to catch mobs with the egg and 5 redstone even when their group does not have the permission node. I did not touch the config.yml and the plugin's version is 3.17. I looked throughout my permissions.yml and only saw the permission node in the donator group, the players that are catching the mobs are part of the default group. My server is running CraftBukkit version git-Spigot-1476 (MC: 1.7.9) (Implementing API Version 1.7.9-RO.2-SNAPSHOT). Thx.
@NikFarisAiman2014
My configuration is:
ItemName: EggBall ItemID: 344 UsedOnCapture: true ReturnedOnSpawn: false
but the normale egg (Not renamed) work for catcher :(
@Reaper011095
open the config.yml using Notepad (for easy). You will see this :
CaptureItem:
Enabled: true
ItemName: Mineball <<< I just set it the item must be named Mineball to capture
ItemID: 332 <<< I changed egg to snowball
UsedOnCapture: true
ReturnedOnSpawn: false
Hello Man, i want create an particulare item for catching a mob: "EggBall" is it possibile?
@palmtree64
That only affects OPs. For regular users the egg is used either way
BUG REPORT: Hello Malikk64, In playing around with the plugin, I noticed a bug that I thought unintended. When you throw the chicken egg, it drops the mob spawn egg, then consumes your chicken egg. However, when you left click to capture a mob, it puts the mob spawn egg into your inventory, but it does not use up your chicken egg. Therefore this bug allows you to run around with a single chicken egg and spam left click on mobs to capture them all.
Thanks for your time, Palmtree64
P.S. I realize this may be fixed, but I am currently playing in a 1.7.2 bukkit server, so I just thought I'd let you know!
@dmarsh2k9
You absolutely need to be on versions of CB and mob catcher that match or you will be getting bugs that I cannot control or fix. Either update your mob catcher to 3.17 or downgrade your cb
Having an issue between versions Our server is 1.7.9 now, but running 3.16 mobcatcher We get charged for capturing, however no egg drops, this has never happened before we updated, is this happening because we need 3.17?
thanks for update ! :-) works with 1.7.9
@Malikk65
If you'd make a ticket, I'll make sure I get this fixed for the next release.
Ticket made. I didn't realize it was a bug, I just thought I was doing something incorrect on my end, hence the more public post instead of a ticket. Thanks.
@Deiscorides
Likely something changed in Bukkit and this bug has been here for a long time and no one has noticed, but this used to work properly.
Your config file looks correct, so I'm sure it's just something in the plugin that needs a little updating (likely for the new damage system). If you'd make a ticket, I'll make sure I get this fixed for the next release.
MustBeKilled: false MustBeKilled: true
I can't seem to figure out how to use "MustBeKilled: true". I've been using the "ComplexConfig" settings. When it is set MustBeKilled: true for a mob I can't seem to do anything to capture it. The eggs don't work on it and if I kill it it merely dies, nothing else happens, other than it dropping its loot. There's also no failure message. When I return it to MustBeKilled: false, everything works just fine.
In the below code, I'm testing the skeleton for this, though this problem occurs for all hostile mobs I try it for. For friendly mobs like the horse, this doesn't even seem to work, as I'm still able to capture it normally. Is there something overriding it or is my config file incorrect? No errors in console.
@minecraft7net
Wait until it's approved by bukkit staff
