Silk Spawners

I have a problem on silk spawners. When I put a sign for players to buy spawners, it becomes a pig spawner and it says something broken. Example: This is the id for a creeper spawner: 52:50 but when I buy, it say something broken and it gives me a pig spawner.
Im using spigot 1.8.3. Before I also using the same version and there is bo problem. Then suddenly I have this problem. Please help me. Thank you.

 

Mojang broke the way data is stored with regards to spawners. But you can do what you want by creating a kit for each spawner type, then selling the kits. Define the kits like this:

Code:

  creeper:
    items:
      - 52 1 lore:entityID:50 name:Creeper_Spawner

Replace the ID with the appropriate number, and replace the name, too. A creeper is 50.

Make sure you have SilkSpawners version 3.6.3, and you have the following at the bottom of your config file:

Code:

useReflection: true
testMCVersion: true
useMetadata: true
useLegacyName: false

 

Can I use essential sign instead and write:
[Buy]
1
52:50
$1000
How do I get a creeper spawner after typing this? It says broken. But I believe this can be fixed because I've played some servers and the servers have no problem with silk spawners.

 

No, Mojang broke this method in 1.8. Define kits, then use an Essentials [Kit] sign to sell the kits. That's what I do on my server. (You're welcome to try it, but you'll need to earn at least $35,000 on the server first.) Define the [Kit] sign as follows:

Code:

[Kit]
creeper
Everyone
$90000

 

How did they do that?
@Bobcat00

 

I know of no way to sell non-pig spawners with SilkSpawners and Essentials [Buy] signs in 1.8.3. Perhaps they're using this method, which requires an additional plugin.

You can do it by selling kits and using Essentials [Kit] signs.

You can do it with other shop-type plugins which allow you to specify arbitrary /give commands with {BlockEntityTag:{EntityId:creeper}}

 

When will minecraft fix this problem?
@Bobcat00

 

They won't. It's not a problem. It's designed to work that way.

Did you define the kits yet? You could be done by now instead of rehashing something that won't change.

 

@Bobcat00
I cant play minecraft today. And why there is no problem with silk spawners last few weeks ago when I use spigot 1.8.3? But now suddenly have this problem?

 

If you use SilkSpawners and Essentials [Buy] signs, it's never worked right for CraftBukkit/Spigot 1.8 or 1.8.3.

 

Oh, thanks for telling me. But why I saw a server using spigot 1.8.3 and they use essential sign and their silk spawners plugin works fine. I saw the signs they typed. 52:50 .......... All these is essential sign. The server ip is mc.mineagepvp.com
How did they do that with essential signs and silk spawners?

 

Are they really running 1.8.3, or are they running 1.7.9 with a 1.8.3 protocol hack?

 

They are running spigot 1.8.3. I have checked. They also have rabbit spawners. They didn't use s protocol hack. Go checkout the server at mc.mineagepvp.com

 

OK, I see they appear to be a legit 1.8.x server, and I assume their spawner shop works (it appears to use Essentials [Buy] signs). Since Essentials is open source, they probably modified it to set the spawner type. It wouldn't be too hard to do that.

But here's an idea: Why not ask them how they did it. They have forums:
http://mineagepvp.org/xenforo/index.php?threads/spawners.56754/

 

How? Can you help me to ask? Because I am a member of this server and if i ask all these maybe i will get ban from this server. And im not so good at asking all these. Please help me. Thanks.

 

Someone seems to have figured out how to sell them with ChestShop.
