SilkSpawners
SilkSpawners - Harvest mob spawners with silk touch
Version v8.1.0
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

Posted Apr 15, 2012Is it possible to add a chance for them to get it in the config. Like if they break spawner they have a 10/100 chance of getting it.

Hmm ok...
Can't you just add something like this in the config file:
recipe: {"ABC", "DEF", "GHI"}
A = Iron Fence
B = Monster egg
C = Etc...
?

Yes, you can disable SilkSpawners recipes then use a recipe customization plugin to add any recipe desired for the spawners. The trick is you need use a plugin supporting non-standard enchantments in the recipe output. Cookbook as of it's 1.0.1 release doesn't but I've submitted a patch to the author.
Anyone know of any other recipe plugins which support non-standard enchantments? If they do let me know and I can recommend them for use with SilkSpawners. The recipe output you can use is the monster spawner item + the Silk Touch enchantment with the level as the entity id (see config.yml).

Added support for enabling/disabling crafting recipes per-creature in SilkSpawners 1.4, just released.
@xGh0sTkiLLeRx
Cool thanks, I've merged your pull request into 1.4, crafting recipes are now shaped as they were meant to be :). And yeah, SilkSpawners is basically the product of working around a bunch of bugs in Bukkit involving manipulating spawners.. it isn't as easy as it should be, but fortunately, the situation is getting better, BUKKIT-329 is fixed in the latest CraftBukkit builds so we'll be able to use durability on spawner items instead of abusing enchantments :P.

@RustyDagger
Sorry I haven't had a chance to look into these duping issues with mcMMO and custom builds of Factions (it worked when I tested it in the unmodified factions). I listen with MONITOR priority (last) and ignore cancelled events and check the WorldGuard API before dropping the spawner item, but I guess that isn't enough :/. Anyone happen to know what else I need to do to fix this?
@penguinstorm
If you're using any of the extra mobs make sure you have the respective mod installed which adds the new mobs. To be clear SilkSpawners doesn't add any new mob types by itself, it only accesses what mobs are already there, either from vanilla Minecraft or added by other mods. But I agree this support can be confusing or misleading, I've updated the wording about mod compatibility. So far I've tested SilkSpawners with AnimalBikes on 1.2.3-R0.3, and Natural Selection and RanCraft Penguins on 1.1-R4, using the modded builds from MC Port Central. If you are using the mods and they're properly installed but you're still not seeing SilkSpawners being able to spawn the new mobs try enabling dumpEntityMap then adding the new entity IDs, if it still doesn't work let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Posted Apr 11, 2012Great plugin!
Exactly what I needed.
I created a pull request for the shaped recipe.
And I saw you have to use ugly methods, because a spawner isn't updated when placed.
I had the same issue and gave up, glad you could solve this! :)

Posted Mar 31, 2012can you make it possible to limit the type of spawners you can craft? I wouldn't like my users having unnatural spawners since i sell animal eggs for farms.

Posted Mar 29, 2012mushroomhostage, thanks for making this plugin! It has been great being able to collect spawners from cave diving and then making some awesome battle arenas. This mod has our gameplay much more fun.
I have been using SilkSpawners 1.0.1 on my CraftBukkit 1.1-R4 server for a while now and just upgraded to CraftBukkit 1.2.4-R1.0 and SilkSpawners 1.2. Works great.

I can confirm that it's working correctly with world guard, and that your fix for craftbukkit is also working as intended.

To support mobs added by mods you can edit plugins/SilkSpawners/config.yml (created on first load of SilkSpawners), adding or removing the mobs from the 'creatures' section of the config appropriately for what mods you have installed. It comes with mob IDs for the Natural Selection and RanCraft Penguin mods (available from MC Port Central) in the default config, so to use these mods with SilkSpawners all you have to do is uncomment the respective parts of config.yml and set useExtraMobs: true.
Mobs from other mods can be added if you know their IDs, if you want any other mod supported (must already be ported to CraftBukkit) or need any help finding the IDs let me know.

Added WorldGuard checks in SilkSpawners 1.2. It works in my testing but I'm not too familiar with WorldGuard so please let me know of any problems.
Added new "spawnersUnstackable" config option in 1.2 as well. Normally, spawner items will stack (as long as they are of the same type), but when this option is enabled (note that it is still off by default) the stack size will be set to 1. Not positive this'll fix the CraftBukkit\+\+ problem since it manipulates inventory stacking only, but if you could try and let me know that would be great. Worst case it would require a fix in CB\+\+ but I would definitely like to support all of the Bukkit forks in SilkSpawners that I can.

Posted Mar 16, 2012Would it be possible to get this to respect world guard regions. When you break a spawner in a WG region it will drop the egg or spawner then re-spawn making it easy to dupe them
On the server that I admin on we use Bukkit plus plus and with this it stacks items when you break them. Break several pig spawner's then break a sheep spawner or something after wards they stack up and all become sheep spawner's. Would it be possible to get this to ignore the stacking function of Bukkit plus plus
Thx

Posted Mar 11, 2012Released SilkSpawners 1.1a adding Ocelot and Iron Golem spawners for 1.2.3-R0.2.
@ImmortalServers
@imabustya
Attempted to reproduce this problem with CraftBukkit 1.2.3-R0.1 + SilkSpawners 1.1 + Factions 1.1.6b but when I attempted to break a spawner in another faction territory, I receive the expected "You can't destroy" territory error and the spawner is not mined. Unable to reproduce. Could you please post your /plugins, /versions, and console output to ticket 2 for further investigation?

Yes, craftable spawners is fixed with the latest CraftBukkit builds. No change to SilkSpawners 1.1, but if you use CraftBukkit 1.1-R7 or the 1.2.3-R0.1+ beta builds, crafting spawners will now work as expected.
@imabustya
Thanks for the report, sorry no fix yet, but I will track this issue for in ticket 2 for a possible fix (needs more investigation).

Posted Mar 5, 2012Silk spawners still duplicates broken/mined spawners in Factions SafeZone and enemy territory.
Will this be fixed? I would really love to use this plugin but factions is a must on my server. =[
