SilkSpawners
SilkSpawners - Harvest mob spawners with silk touch
Version v8.0.0
Thanks for MILLIONS of downloads!
A sign shop addon for buying and selling spawners can be found here: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/12028/
Description
Ever wanted to move a mob spawner? With SilkSpawners, you can now pick up and move monster spawners.
If you use a pickaxe with the silktouch enchantment you will receive the spawner again.
You can control each mob spawner, allow crafting and of course mod support.
I'm happy to hear about your opinion, just leave a comment with a feature request, bug, improvement or just a personal opinion.
As a reminder I want to say that I worked very long on this and really appreciate a 'thank you' in form of a donation! (See details on the bottom or the button on the top)

Known Bugs
- If sign shops are not working, you may want to try my custom sign shop addon: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/12028/
- Mobs like Ghasts or Giants are too big for the spawner, this a Minecraft bug and I can't fix that
- Some older Essentials versions/ports are not updated properly for 1.8. There is a maintained fork called EssentialsX you should try.
- If you use Gui Sign Shop and users are unable to place spawners, you need to grant them the guishop.spawner permission from Gui Sign Shop
- Holographic Displays makes Slime spawners non functional
- UltraCosmetics, causes some spawners to non function: https://github.com/iSach/UltraCosmetics/issues/259

If you are having troubles with this plugin not working click this link and download the latest dev build and put it on your server then try downloading this plugin and using it :) http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/
Using SilkSpawners 3.2.1 and Im getting Reports of it not working..Tried dev builds also. Running latest Spigot Release.
@Kimoshnikov
How would i find the latest dev build for this plugin?
@imEnthusiastik
The same happens to me and the plugin wont work at all. We need some help :(
@xGh0sTkiLLeRx When i download the latest version it doesn't seem to work at all but when i download the 1.5 version it works correctly until i reload then it doesn't seem to work.
@bestlike2
Seems to work fine for me.
Running latest spigot (1.5.1 version) and SS 3.2.1?
@busterguy
First line in the config is about the auto updating, just turn it to false.
I already implemented a check to prevent downloading the wrong versions in 3.2.1
@defsin32
Works fine after a reload.
However, this is my opinion about a reload.
Causes nothing more than trouble and extra work for us devs:
http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/43212/
@imEnthusiastik
Try using an alias like /silkspawners or /ss.
This might be a conflict with Essentials
The plugin stops working after a reload with /reload.
Hi, my server is running Minecraft 1.5. When i use the 1.5 version of your plugin (3.2) it will auto update to 3.2.1 which is for Minecraft 1.5.1. Then after a while it will crash and my players are wondering why they cant mine spawners.
How can i turn it off so it wont auto update?
This plugin does not seem to work on the latest Verions of Spigot.
I even tried using the latest dev build, tried using the 3.2.1, I even tried giving myself the permissions but it still doesn't work.
This is a picture of the command I type before I enter it in: http://imgur.com/AUvaXxf
This is a picture of the command after I typed it in and the message that pops up: http://imgur.com/lmLMDP7
:/ Help?
@theDecrowned
Yeah 3.2.1 is for 1.5.1 only.
Also is it equivalent to the latest dev build ;)
Glad it works again!
@SilverBrit
A plain spawner is impossible.
Even then it would spawn a pig...
@imEnthusiastik
Have you granted the right permissions? silkspawners.changetype.* (for all creatures)
or silkspawners.changetype.<creatureName>
Hey, the command to change the spawner is not working. I'm holding a spawner and I'm doing /spawner creeper and it wouldn't turn into a creeper. I even tried looking at a spawner with my crosshair but that wouldn't work either.
@xGh0sTkiLLeRx
Hm, I am not so sure about using the Dev build. Although I do want SilkSpawners to work... Hopefully Essentials will come out soon, and that will solve my problems.
Also, I wouldn't need the permissions for myself would I? Considering I am operator, and have all permissions.
EDIT: It is fixed, and working perfectly fine! I have no idea what I did, but it is working. Maybe it was just that build. It started working after I updated my server to 1.5.1, and the plugin.
How do I make it so when you mine a spawner, the monster does not stay in the egg, and all you get is a plain spawner?
@RSGTechno
Mine was not working as well, and wouldn't until I updated to the LATEST dev build released. Try that.
@rockjolt375
Oh thanks for the report.
You can fix it yourself when you edit the config and the recipe.
There is a "M" in the first line, set it to an A again and the recipe is right again.
Will fix the default config!
@sirento
I can add this in the next bigger update, like a already said ;)
@RSGTechno
Well works fine for me, on 2 servers!
Provide more information and I can help you, simply saying it doesn't work, won't help.
Make sure you are using the right version for the right Minecraft version, update your plugins and CraftBukkit (or Spigot, or...).
If it's still broken please provide more details then!
Hey, just noticed with the 1.5.1 build the crafting of the spawners requires a "U" shape of iron bars. Surrounding the egg completely prevents crafting but leaving the top middle bar out allows it.
SilkSpawners is not working!
@xGh0sTkiLLeRx
Also does placing an egg place a spawner? i thogutht it did before but i just tested it and couldnt find a way if it did.
@robsherwood
Glad to hear :)
