EggEmAll Reloaded

Catch mobs. Preserve their data. Move them with ease.

EggEmAll Reloaded lets players capture mobs by throwing ordinary chicken eggs at them.

If a capture succeeds, the entity is converted into its corresponding spawn egg. Supported entity data is preserved so the mob can be spawned again later without losing important information.

This makes EggEmAll Reloaded especially useful for moving villagers, animals, and other mobs without complicated transport systems.

Compatibility

Primary target

Paper 26.2

Manually tested

Paper 26.2
Paper 1.21.7
Spigot 26.2
Spigot 1.21.7

The plugin itself is compiled to Java 17 bytecode. Your server still needs the Java version required by the Minecraft/Paper/Spigot version you are running.

PlaceholderAPI, RoseStacker, and UltimateStacker are optional.

Installation

Download EggEmAll Reloaded.
Place the JAR in your server's plugins directory.
Start or restart the server.
Configure EggEmAll Reloaded.
Use /eggemall reload after changing the configuration or restart the server.

There are no mandatory external plugin dependencies.

Commands

Command	Permission	Description
`/eggemall menu`	`eggemall.command.gui`	Opens the catchable/blacklisted entity GUI
`/eggemall reload`	`eggemall.command.reload`	Reloads the configuration
`/eggemall migrate`	`eggemall.command.migrate`	Safely imports an existing EggEmAll2 configuration

Capture permissions

Permission	Description
`eggemall.all`	Allows all capture categories
`eggemall.villagers`	Allows catching villager-type entities
`eggemall.aggressive`	Allows catching hostile mobs
`eggemall.passive`	Allows catching passive mobs and animals
`eggemall.unknown`	Fallback category for otherwise uncategorized entities
`eggemall.catchmob.<entity_type>`	Allows catching a specific entity type

For example:

eggemall.catchmob.cow

PlaceholderAPI

PlaceholderAPI is optional.

EggEmAll Reloaded keeps the existing eggemall placeholder namespace for compatibility:

%eggemall_version%
%eggemall_catch_chance%
%eggemall_world_mode%
%eggemall_world_allowed%
%eggemall_require_permissions%
%eggemall_catchable_entities%
%eggemall_blacklisted_entities%

PlaceholderAPI placeholders from other expansions may also be used in supported EggEmAll Reloaded messages and spawn egg lore.

Built-in placeholders

{player}
{entity}
{entity_name}
{profession}
{world}

Upgrading from EggEmAll2

EggEmAll Reloaded keeps the existing /eggemall command namespace, eggemall.* permissions, PlaceholderAPI namespace, and legacy captured-egg compatibility where possible.

Because EggEmAll Reloaded has a new plugin name, it uses its own data directory:

plugins/EggEmAllReloaded

If an existing EggEmAll2 configuration is detected at:

plugins/EggEmAll2/settings.yml

the plugin will notify you during server startup.

Run:

/eggemall migrate

Permission:

eggemall.command.migrate

The migration will:

Create a backup of the current EggEmAll Reloaded settings.yml
Import your existing EggEmAll2 configuration
Reload the imported configuration immediately
Update the old default [EggEmAll] prefix to [EggEmAll Reloaded]
Keep custom prefixes unchanged
Leave the original plugins/EggEmAll2 directory untouched
Prevent accidental repeated migrations after a successful import

The original EggEmAll2 files are never deleted or modified.

It is still recommended to back up your server before upgrading.

Legacy captured eggs remain supported where their stored entity snapshot data can still be parsed by the current server version.
