Description
Ever wanted to move a mob spawner? With SilkSpawners, you can now pick up and move monster spawners.

You can control each mob spawner, allow crafting and of course mod support.

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

SilkSpawners now no longer resets the config file as of 1.0 - can you retest with the latest version? Previously you may have had to stop the server, edit the config, and restart, but this should now be fixed.

Posted Feb 20, 2012EDIT: It turns out this was a problem happening in other plugins too. I'll look into maybe reporting this as an R4 bug.
Silkspawners is not allowing me to change the config file, no matter which parameter I change. Every time I reload the plugin or the server, the config file is reset back to the default. This means I can't get permissions working with this plugin because I can't set usePermissions: true.
I'm using CB 1.1-R4 and PermissionsEx 1.18.

The missing Material.MONSTER_EGG was a bug in the Bukkit port of ModLoaderMP – I worked around it in SilkSpawners 0.5 by hardcoding the item ID, but it wasn't feasible to apply this workaround to the crafting recipe.
But the good news is I reported this bug to Maeyanie and she fixed it in ModLoaderMP 1.1 r3 (change log "Updated Material to 1.1-R4, fixes monster eggs."), so spawners should now be craftable in SIlkSpawners with CraftBukkit 1.1-R4 + ModLoaderMP 1.1 r3. Let me know if it doesn't work for you in this configuration and I'll see what I can do (its fine in my testing, also note it should work fine in unmodded CraftBukkit of course.)
@funk1983
Can you create a ticket with your detailed configuration information, including versions of SilkSpawners, CraftBukkit, and the contents of config.yml and any permission settings? I'm testing breaking a spawner on 1.1-R4 with 0.5, with a tool without Silk Touch, and am getting spawn eggs as expected. If you're using permissions make sure usePermissions is set appropriately.
@erdrickk
Are you using the latest version (0.5)? There was a critical fix in 0.4.1 to make SilkSpawners ignore block break/place/interact events cancelled by other plugins.

Its now fixed.
I was running R3 modded with IC2 etc xD
I suppose I should include that in my bug reports.
For some reason Im not being notified when someone replies to me.
Is that normal?
For some reason I cant craft a monster spawner with Egg surrounded by Iron Bars.
craftableSpawners: true - right?
No permissions.

Posted Feb 16, 2012bad glitch you might want to know about...... you can lock a sign on top of the mob spawner with LWC and then break the spawner over and over and basically get as many as you want

The missing Material.MONSTER_EGG error should be fixed in SilkSpawners 0.5.
This error does not occur on a vanilla craftbukkit-1.1-R3.jar (as far as I know), but I have seen it on a modded CraftBukkit (with ModloaderMP, MCForge, IndustrialCraft and others) so 0.5 now will use a hardcoded item ID for spawn eggs as a workaround. Please let me know if 0.5 fixes the problem for you or if you're still seeing errors - thanks.
edit: reported bug: [ModLoaderMP 1.1 CB1.1R4] Missing Material.MONSTER_EGG, causes NoSuchFieldError

The error suggests you are running an older version of CraftBukkit, do you have 1.1-R3?
@RustyDagger
No problem, I understand your frustration, its one of my first plugins and I haven't gotten the conventions nailed down yet, so I appreciate your comments :)

Good points all around, thanks for the feedback. I just submitted SilkSpawners 0.4, which should fix most of these problems.
I changed the permissions to "false" in the latest version. My intention in setting them "true" was to allow easy installation, no configuration required (I'm one of the lazy ones that doesn't prefer using a permission plugin :)), but I see what you're saying about unintentional granting of permissions. To achieve both of our goals, I added a usePermissions option – if false (default), it will use true or op as before, but you can change it to true to consult plugins.yml, where all the permissions now default to "false".
Restricting crafting of spawners is unfortunately more complicated. As far as I can tell it is not yet possible with the Bukkit API (at least according to this thread). I wasn't thinking it'd be much of a problem since you need the spawn eggs to craft the spawners, although in creative mode you can acquire the eggs without the spawners.. For now you can set craftableSpawners to false to disable it globally, and I changed the default to false to prevent unintentional crafting on new installs. If it becomes possible in the future to control crafting using permission nodes, I'd definitely like to add it.
You are of course right about the filename conventions, wasn't sure if it would conflict, but I have changed the next upload to be named SilkSpawners.jar, without a version suffix, and all my future uploads will follow this convention (makes it easier for me, too).
Hopefully 0.4 will work out better for you, please let me know how it goes or if there are any other problems I should address in the next release.

Posted Feb 1, 2012I have just spent the last hour trying to work out why my default users have permissions to pickup spawners and craft them and what not when I DID NOT give them permissions to do that.
I found out why you are using plugin.yml incorrectly You are forcing Normal players TO have permissions Regardless if the server owner gives them out or not thus overriding the server owner NOT GOOD AT ALL!!.
You need to make the Default: true Lines in the plugin.yml Say Default: False When they are true it Bypasses all permission management plugins and gives normal players permissions with out A the server owner Knowing and B Very hard for the server owner to remove with out opening the Jar file and looking at the plugin.yml to see what is set to true. Most plugins as a general rule DO NOT force Permissions onto Players like this instead they leave it up to the server owners to handle the giving out of permissions And that is what It should be. as only the server owner knows what is right for his or her server. So in the next release could you Please stop giving permissions to Players by default and let the server owners decide what each player gets with their permissions plugin of choice.
You may say but what about people with out a permissions plugin well then its their loss for being so lazy as to not have one.
For Now i will be editing the plugin.yml of my copy putting it back in the jar and uploading it to the server once more.
Please Conform to plugin standards and remove the lines in the next update. the plugin will be better for it and your support work will be reduced.
One Last thing Can you please Stop Changing the Jar file name Bukkit dose rarely change theirs and no plugin i know of changes theirs every release has the same name this is to make updating the plugin easy for the server owner as you can just drag and drop and replace with the name changed it dose not replace thus making it harder.. Please just drop the version number from the name of the jar.

Posted Jan 23, 2012Plugin released! The "enchanted spawners" technique works great on 1.1 to store the creature metadata.

Posted Jan 22, 2012Since a build around the official 1.0 release, Spawners don't store meta data, so any conventional method for spawners to retain their type isn't possible.
The Developer of Creaturebox came up with a way to "enchant" spawners to retain their type, but I haven't seen it work.
Good luck :/
