Description from the author on Modrinth

Mobs To Eggs gives your server a catchy new feature with players able to catch mobs by throwing a custom projectile (catch capsule) at them. Mobs To Eggs allows for your players to get spawn eggs legitimately.

You can define a catch chance to make it easy or difficult to catch a mobs depending on what you want on your server.

Don’t want players to be able to catch a certain mob? Just toggle the mob off in the config or give players permissions for all mobs except the one.

MobsToEggs is a plugin that works on Paper based servers (Paper and Paper forks)

FEATURES:

  • Catch mobs and give players spawn eggs.
  • Turn mob catching on and off per mob.
  • Change the projectile that catches the mob (snowball, egg, ender pearl, etc)
  • Define the catch chance for each mob.
  • Set an item or money cost for catching mobs.
  • Works right out of the box.
  • Customizable messages.
  • All Minecraft mobs are supported!
  • Supports Enderman catching.
  • Supports catching mobs with no vanilla spawn egg (boss mobs, golems, giants).
  • Allow or deny spawner changing.
  • Particles and sounds when mobs are caught or failed to be caught.
  • Give the mob catching capsule a custom name and/or lore.
  • Save mob data to spawn eggs with a toggle to turn on/off.
  • Options to punch or throw the catch capsule in order to catch the mob.
  • Custom Model Data support for both catch capsule and mob spawn eggs.
  • Support for WorldGuard regions and per world catching.
  • Support for HEX color codes.
  • Support for MiniMessages.

USAGE:

Throw the catch capsule projectile defined in the config at the mob you want to catch, and it will have a chance to be encapsulated into the mob egg.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • A permission plugin (only if using permissions).
  • Vault (only if using economy features).
  • NBTAPI (for saving some entity data).
  • Any economy plugin that works with Vault (only if using economy features).

COMMANDS:

/mte | Show plugin information (No permission needed)

/mte help | Display the plugin help menu (No permission needed)

/mte reload | Reload plugin config file (mobstoeggs.*)

/mte give | Give a specified amount of mob catching capsules to the selected player (mobstoeggs.give)

/mte bulkupdate | Update the mobs.yml file to change either catch-chance, money-cost, or item-cost values for all mobs (mobstoeggs.*)

PERMISSIONS:

A list of all plugin permission nodes can be found on the wiki here.

By default permissions are enabled and you will need to use a permissions plugin to handle these. You can turn off all mobstoeggs permission checks in the config.yml if you do not want to use a permission plugin.

CONFIG:

You can find the plugin configs on our wiki here.
The plugin will automatically generate the required config files when you first load the plugin. All config files are fully commented so you know what each value does.
