I'm trying to setup a Minecraft server so I can play with fluffy dragons.
As the server admin how can I spawn mobs in SMP? Can I do it in the vanilla server? Do I have to use bukkit or a plugin?
PS: Eggs are fun!

MobLocator
Due to there not being any plugin that currently does this, I have developed one.
It is called MobLocator and can be download here.
/moblocshows the number of each type of mobs that are present in the world./mobloc [mobType]shows the location of the 10 closest mobs of type mobType. (Using euclidean distance). Note, you can use a mobType of all.
Feedback welcome.
Edit: Updated link to version 1.0.6, I forgot squid.
Actually, the problem is that the cave has a "ceiling".
[Animals] will always spawn on the highest available block in a column i.e. the one that can see the sky.

As of release 1.1, you can enter Creative mode and use the new "Spawn Eggs" item to produce monsters, even in vanilla.
