So far in my testing, it works perfectly. I am just wondering if it will be updated to 1.14.2, with all the new animals, villagers, and such. I'm hoping to use this on my server in the future, but I don't want players complaining because they can't catch a panda or something.

Great plugin - works like a charm. However, you need to download the version 3.1 to work on 1.12.2. The newest version drops no mob egg :)

Very nice Plugin, simple config and works very well on my 1.11.2 Server.
Gives some nice new ways to give Mobs to Player without selling Spawneggs in an Adminshop.
