What it is...
Want to play with only Pokémon from your favorite generation? You've come to the right place!
This datapack manipulates the spawning mechanics for Cobblemon by replacing the spawn files with only Pokémon from this generation.
Fun fact: One of my favorite Pokémon from this generation is Pikachu, who is also one of my mains in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
NOTE: All regional-form spawns have been moved to their respective generations:
- Alolan = Gen 7
- Galarian = Gen 8
- Hisuian = Gen 8
- Paldean = Gen 9
Mix and match!
Want to include multiple generations? Just add any of my other spawn-filtering datapacks to include them in the spawn pool. It's that easy!
For example, if you want a special playthrough of generations 1-4 (my favorite ones, by the way), just add all four datapacks to your world and you're all set.
- Gen 1: Kanto
- Gen 2: Johto
- Gen 3: Hoenn
- Gen 4: Sinnoh
- Gen 5: Unova
- Gen 6: Kalos
- Gen 7: Alola
- Gen 8: Galar
- Gen 9: Paldea
How it works...
What this datapack DOES affect:
- All natural spawns (...when they just pop into existence)
- Fishing spawns (via Cobblemon fishing mechanics)
What this datapack DOES NOT affect:
- Cobblemon structures (example: Gimmighouls spawning from the chests in Gimmighoul towers)
- Structure loot tables (example: fossil loot tables from sus sand/gravel in fossil archaeology structures)
- Cross-gen evolutions (example: Pichu > Pikachu, Magneton > Magnezone)
Setup
- Add datapack/s to your Modrinth profile or modpack
- Copy/move the datapack/s to your world's datapack folder
- NOTE: Datapacks in
./datapacks(base folder) don't apply globally to all your worlds, this is why you must include it in the world-specific datapack folder (./saves/<your_world_name>/datapacks) for this to work. More info on the Minecraft Wiki.
- NOTE: Datapacks in
- Join your world and enjoy the filtered spawns!
Disclaimer
Currently, this is ONLY confirmed to work with the base Cobblemon mod. I plan to add support for modpacks that have their own spawning rules, such as Cobbleverse, in the future.
