Myths and Legends [Cobblemon Addon]

The Myths and Legends addon for Cobblemon fundamentally changes Pokémon spawning mechanics by introducing a key item system. Now, certain Pokémon only appear when specific conditions related to items in the player's inventory are met.

Core Features

When a player carries special key items in their inventory, unique Pokémon begin to spawn around them. Each Pokémon requires all necessary conditions to be fulfilled for its appearance. This system works independently for each player on the server.

Key items can be found in specific loot chests by default. Item rarity and loot tables can be configured through configuration files, allowing players to adapt the gameplay experience to their preferences.

Important Notice

Attention: For versions above 1.3, you must use the Myths and Legends datapack or create your own. The official datapack is available in a public GitHub repository for those who want to customize it.

Documentation

A wiki page is available with complete information about current Pokémon spawn settings from the datapack.

Creating Custom Spawn Conditions

Want to create unique Pokémon spawn conditions? You can add your own spawn settings by following the detailed guide on creating custom spawn conditions in the Cobblemon world.

Additional Conditions

Key Item Conditions

• key_item: Checks for a specific key item in the player's inventory
  • Example usage: "key_item": "tidal_bell"

Custom Item Conditions

• custom_key_item: Checks for a specific amount of a custom key item and consumes it if necessary

  "custom_key_item": {
    "id": "minecraft:emerald",
    "count": 10,
    "consume": true
  }

• custom_secondary_item: Checks for a specific amount of a secondary item

  "custom_secondary_item": {
    "id": "minecraft:emerald",
    "count": 10,
    "consume": true
  }

The consume flag works independently of configuration settings, ensuring item consumption during condition checks.

• articuno_in_team_requirement: Checks for Articuno presence
• darkrai_in_team_requirement: Checks for Darkrai presence
• And many other legendary Pokémon
