SpawnerEXP
Enhance Spawners
Make spawners more useful by having the functionality of crafting them and changing their type through the use of mob eggs! To get a blank egg, just break an existing mob spawner.
When a natural (non-player-placed) spawner is broken, the following will occur if the player has the appropriate permissions:
- 3 to 6 iron bars and/or a spawner will drop (configurable)
- Between 300 to 600 exp will drop (equivalent to 3-6 levels if at a low level); This is fully configurable
- A spawn egg will drop (either a blank one or one of the spawner's type; this is configurable)
The inspiration came from pixelkids

Posted Sep 3, 2012Demon. why dont you do that with your permissions plugin like allow spawnerexp.use.survival.cow for Default group and spawnerexp.use.survival.pig for VIPs and spawnerexp.use.survival.* for mods
Anyways will someone update this sometime. i think the permissions are messed up in the later bukkit builds

Posted Aug 23, 2012SUGGESTIONS: Could you add a feature where you can make it where only specific groups can craft specific spawnereggs, like I only want Newbies to craft Cows and Pigs, then Members only able to craft Cows, Pigs, AND Dogs and Zombie. Another feature I'd love for you to add is where you can only make specific spawners. Like you can only place Cows, Pigs, Dogs, and Zombies in the Normal world and you can only place Ghast, Blaze spawners in the Nether.
I'll even donate money if the feature is added

that was a long time ago when I posted that, at this time I'm not aware of there being any commands (if there are they should be specified on the main page above but I can't see them)
I do remember that I had to place the spawner and then fill it with a spawner egg, else it simply wouldn't spawn anything (even though when you place it you see pig inside it). By fill I mean right click the spawner while holding the egg in hand and you make those spawning eggs via these recipes: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/spawnerexp/pages/crafting-recipes/

Use http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/changesilktouch/ and change the spawner drop block with silk touch.
Edit: Oh, I see now what you mean now. I'd suggest using the "disablespawnercrafting" in the config file, and having spawners only sold in your server shop. This would allow for a money-to-exp exchange for anyone trying this.

Posted Aug 6, 2012The most loved plugin on my server ... Because of 1.3, there is a bug ... The user set a spawner and destroy it again ... Since 1.3 you become exp in single player when a spawner is destroyed. The users get by with SilkTouch infinite exp ... I hope that this great plugin is being updated soon
Sorry for bad english ... google translator xD greetz from germany ... eichi92

Posted Jun 18, 2012This is an epic plugin!
@Dustinduse
If you just crafted the spawner and placed it, even though it shows pigs it won't spawn anything unless you're right clicking it with a pig mob egg (recipe here: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/spawnerexp/pages/crafting-recipes )

Posted Apr 11, 2012Could you make an option to disable spawn egg crafting? I use MobCatcher and want my players to have to capture the rarer mobs instead of being able to just farm their drops for them.

Posted Mar 24, 2012Is there a way to use this plugin to have spawners only able to be changed once or have the egg not be returned to the player when the type is changed? I want to sell spawners and if players can change their type at will, they would only ever need to buy one and just have a few eggs.
Thanks, this is a great plugin with a lot of customization.

Okay but what do you suppose the recipe for wolves should be? I guess ocelots could be an egg surrounded by fish.

You were right! I just had to check to see if it was canceled. Had to do a couple of other things too, though, to make it retain the type, but it's fixed in 3.5 :D
