If the animals are protected from harm then EggCatcher won't catch them. So there's implicit support for all plugins that protects animals.

Can you be more specific on what needs to be updated?

1.7.9 finally got a Beta build!
Think we could get a quicky update patch? :)

I assume it's unaffected but it depends on any api breaking changes in bukkit for 1.8.

There's no spawn egg for iron golems in Minecraft, so it's not possible.

Is there any way to capture iron golems? I'm using EggCatcher with SilkSpawners so you can catch mobs with an egg, then craft a spawner with that egg, however, iron golems are not catchable.

Is this plugin affected by the UUID change in 1.8, thus requiring an update to work properly or will it be unaffected?

Thanks,

I think for more advanced features like that you will need Mob Catcher.
But... it's rarely updated, always buggy, and the dev is not very helpful at all. I ditched it in favor of this more simplified plugin.

Hey,

works flawless, Great job.

I also have an suggestion: When cathing an mob fails, a customsable price shoud be charged. So serve owner can decide how much or if its free

VaultCost: Pig: 250.0 Sheep: 250.0 MushroomCow: 1000.0 ..... FailedCost: Pig: 100.0 Sheep: 100.0 MushroomCow: 400.0 .....

I have not tested it with AnimalProtect but it should work if the animals are protected from getting harmed by projectiles.

Let me know i it's not working and I will look into it.

(It's not going to work with Worldguard alone as Worldguard as you know does not protect animals.)

Hey,

is it hooked into WorldGuard and AnimalProtect, so only owners or members of a region can catch mobs?

@shansen1 Thanks for the information, I will likely wait for a while to try 7.8 until I update the server to 1.7 anyway. The EggCatcher plugin not working in claims shouldn't be a huge problem for now.

Oh wait you need to use a version later than 7.7 it seems. Try the 7.8 beta build.

It's probably a bug with GriefPrevention. This has happened before and some EggCatcher users made a patch for GriefPrevention. What version of GriefPrevention are you using? I believe it was confirmed working again in 7.7.

Have a look at this ticket for more information: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/grief-prevention/tickets/83-mobs-inside-claim-cant-be-damaged-with-eggs-and-snowballs/
