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.

@Malikk65
Thanks. Looking forward to an update. Thank you for still working on this plugin even though you don't have to by any means!
@hutt132
I wasn't aware that the spigot team had successfully taken over. I don't follow any of this as it only makes me a negligible amount of money and I stopped playing minecraft over a year and a half ago. The fact that I update or work on this EVER is a privelage I give you all free of charge, not something you are entitled to.
Due to the unique nature of this plugins features, it simply cannot exist on the bukkit api alone. This means that it must be updated every time that bukkit changes its version number, which is a colossal amount of upkeep.
My apologies that I'm not still pumped to be updating this for the 66th time over my break. When I'm done visiting my family from across the country I'll see about updating this for you guys.
@johandre
It doesn't work with Spigot 1.8, and it appears Malikk65 is refusing to update this plugin because, I guess, he does not feel like updating it, but is instead blaming it on the Bukkit hoobla.
If it's not too late:
It'd be great if the 1.8 mobcatcher version was also compatible with spigot/bukkit 1.7.10 protocol hack builds (it's possible, silkspawners has done it). I'd like this because I use spigot 1.8 protocol hack + carbon, so I can not run 1.8 only plugins.
If you do successfully make a working 1.8 compatible update i'd happily donate as mobcatcher has been part of my server since I started it.
Thanks for your hard work!
@hutt132
What? it doesn't work
There is a build for 1.8. rustyshakelford2 linked it below.
@Malikk65
They are solved and we have 1.8! The spigot team took charge. All the information is here: http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/bukkit-craftbukkit-spigot-1-8.36598/
I'll be updating this plugin when the bukkit copyright issues are solved and there is a build for 1.8. Until then we are indefinitely on hold.
Doesn't work with latest Spigot 1.8.
MobCatcher seems to be messing up stackability for normal creeper eggs, Im running 3.17 for mc 1.7.9 which is the proper version, it was working for a while but has gone back to not stacking again. Even when i disabled Mob catcher in the world it didnt allow stacking. I have the SaveDataAndRemoveStackability set to false and it wont stack still. In creative mode im able to stack the eggs but cant while in survival. If anyone knows how to fix my problem please message me.
Edit: I restarted the server and it allowed the eggs to be stacked again. Not sure whats going on.
There is no build for 1.7.9.R.0.3 SPIGOT ?
Here's hoping for a 1.8 version. If one comes out I think i'll make a donation.

I really hope you'll release the 1.8 compatible version :D
Is it possible to only let a specific group use MobCatcher. I cant find anything about it. So please could anyone tell me how to set this up? (I use pex)
Hey Malikk65,
I think I found a problem. when you left click it wont take any eggs away..
Could this problem be fixed, Thanks!
Good luck finding these build due to the whole bukkit closing deal....
FTW
hellos mobcatcher how to configure to use the special items and not craftable ?
the items would be that the : /give vinp_wey ender_chest 1 0 {display:{Name:"Capture ball",Lore:["The capture ball"]}}
@roracle
If youre using the exact built i list in the title, please make a ticket and Ill help you.
So you told me the one labeled:
"R: MobCatcher 3.18 for 1.7.10.R0.1 #3105 for CB 1.7.9-R0.1 Jul 19, 2014" was for 1.7.10
So therefore I assumed that... R: MobCatcher 3.17 for 1.7.9-R0.1 #3078 for 1.7.4 May 08, 2014 was for 1.7.9
Yet I keep getting an error about wrong Craftbukkit version. Why is it this can't just work without breaking everything? After installing it, I cannot move anything in my inventory or equip anything on my character. There are two other plugins I installed alongside it, but this is the one that gave an error.
@roracle
It's for 1.7.10-R0.1 #3105. Bukkit doesn't even let me select 1.7.10 as the version since there are only dev builds, so I have to indicate the version in the title.
Sorry for the confusion.
