    Brief Description: I am unable to put mob eggs in trade signs

    Instructions: Create a trade sign, or try to put mob eggs in an already-created sign. Watch how it doesn't work.

    How many times did you recreate this bug?: 2. The other day, I tried to create a sign to hold sheep eggs, and even using the numerical data value did not work for me. Today, I tried to put a pig egg in a sign that was already created, but the egg wouldn't go in. From what I can tell, it is as if the aliases for all the eggs were removed.

    Result: Egg does not go in sign.

    Expected Result: Egg goes in sign.

    In 1.8, spawn eggs used to have meta-IDs to indicate the type of mob. If you use F3+H, you will notice that all eggs still have the ID 383 - but their meta-ID is missing; the animal type is now stored via NBT data. NBT data is also the data that stores tool enchantments, custom item names, and more - Essentials trade signs do not accept NBT data. I wouldn't classify it as intended behaviour, but possibly as expected behaviour.

    Yeah, I saw the 383:0 ID with both the pig egg and the sheep egg, and that's what I figured was the issue. Was this an intentional ID change by Mojang with 1.9, or something they plan to fix?

    Yeah, sadly we're not going to be able to use them anymore (with trade signs)

    I recommend using auction for those, or perhaps waiting to see "IF" we add an additional trading plugin (or enhance our current trade signs - which is unlikely).

    I recommend sign shop plugin, it was used elsewhere and was a good plugin from my view.

    Trade signs suck. Sign shop sucks. Make better plugin.
