MobCatcher
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.

God damn guys. He's a busy guy and still working on this for us. You can chill out for a couple more days.
@Malikk65
3 days ago you said you woudl make a spigot page, I havent seen it yet :P
My server realy misses mob catcher!
@Malikk65
Sounds awesome. :)
@Malikk65
Nice, my server sure misses MobCatcher in 1.8 :)
@pentlock
I had to spend a little longer bug testing than I had anticipated, but I think it's done. Now I've just got to make the new project page on SpigotMC, which I'm hoping to have time to do tomorrow night.
I'll be releasing a lite version first, and then the full version as a spigot premium resource once I can get that setup.
@Malikk65
"Update is nearing completion, everyone. Check back soon!"
Well its been a week so could we have and ETA on this thank you.
@Malikk65
Cant wait, I love both this and your epic glass plugins!
Update is nearing completion, everyone. Check back soon!
For those who are still waiting, I found an alternative. Sorry to be posting, but this takes a long time to have the update.

@Alec55500
The update is in progress in my free time. When it's finished the new version will be living on SpigotMC and I'll link to it from here.
Are you gonna update this to 1.8 anytime soon?
@lucasdidur
This is an incredibly complicated plugin to update as it uses a good amount of native minecraft code. A lot of the features break every time the game changes and each update requires extensive testing. It also doesn't make any business sense at this point since I'm working on moving to spigot premium.
I'm also working on a mobcatcher lite version that will be free but lack most of the features of the full version. I'm hoping I can make this version with just Spigot api so that it doesn't need to be updated as often
Why do not you let the code source available, so who knows program not need to wait for an official update to use? Because when an update comes out is always the same story: /
Updating to spigot? Awesome! :D I love this plugin but was so upset when it stopped working after the spigot update. Also, if you could change some stuff.. Could you make it possible in config to disable the swooshing sound, and the ability to disable the custom eggs?
Hello, please post a link to Spigot up there once it's uploaded thanks :)
@MikeGold
That's what I was going to do. I assume once you buy it the updates are free, but I don't actually know that. That's what I'm shooting for and I'll figure out how to make that work
Just post a link to spigot here when you create an update. I won't mind paying if it's not payment for every single update.
Hey Everybody!
So after looking into spigot a bit, I've decided that when I am back in town from visiting my family at the end of next week I'll be moving this project over to spigot!
I've not decided on my price point yet, but allowing you guys to buy my work will really help support me, keep me motivated, and it should be a good thing for everyone. You guys will get your updates faster, better content overall, and better support with my attention being back on this project.
Thank you all for your support on Bukkit and for 181,000+ downloads so far! I hope to see you all soon on SpigotMC!
@johandre
You can make money on spigot? I'll definitely have to look into that. Thanks.
Still has to wait until I'm done visiting my family tho
@Malikk65 you could move this plugin to spigot and charge like 5 USD. It'd give you a good amount of cash for your hard work since it's a popular plugin.
