Spigot 1.8.7/PaperSpigot 1.8.7
EssentialsX

Latest version of SilkSpawners 3.6.6

I can use essentials to give me a different kind of spawner and place it into the world successfully.
When I silk touch the spawner I only get a pig spawner back.

Thanks, I'll look into this problem.

This is a problem with EssentialsX. I've created an issue: EssentialsX/Essentials#103

I'll close this once this problem is sovled

EssentialsX developer here, that's a different issue from the sell signs. I personally can't reproduce this issue at all, with:

• SilkSpawners 3.6.6
• EssX b177
• PaperSpigot 1.8.7

Here's a video of me being unable to reproduce it: http://gfycat.com/LightheartedMemorableFireant

This has worked fine on my factions server for months.

Can you pastebin your server startup log here? EssentialsX does absolutely nothing with picking up spawners.

Can confirm that I have experienced this issue with:
CraftBukkit version git-Spigot-dbe012b-63e28b1 (MC: 1.8.3)
SilkSpawners 3.6.6
Essentialsx version 2.0.1-b160

Although its seemingly random and doesn't happen on every break. No indication of issues within the server console.

With @vemacs Comment above, I personally believe it to be an issue with SS, as its on block breaking, and the bought spawners can be placed fine. Also occasionally it happens with spawners obtained from /ss commands
