Myths and Legends [Cobblemon Sidemod]

The Cobblemon Myths and Legends Sidemod for Cobblemon Mod introduces a dynamic new feature where key items directly influence spawning conditions. These items, when held by a player, fulfill specific conditions, causing certain Pokémon to spawn exclusively around that player (every condition specific to the Pokémon must be fulfilled in order for it to spawn). This mechanic also applies to multiple players independently, each holding the necessary items.

Key items can be found in selected loot chests by default, with their rarity and specific loot tables configurable in the settings. This allows for a tailored gameplay experience, where players can adjust how and where these items appear in the game world.

Important Notice

Reminder: For versions higher than 1.3, to use the mechanics added by the mod, you MUST use the Myths and Legends datapack or create one yourself. Download the official Myths and Legends datapack from:

• CurseForge
• Modrinth (Note: Link is still under review)

A public repository is also available for anyone who wants to tinker with the datapack and "compile" their own version: GitHub Repository.

Wiki and Additional Resources

• Added a wiki page containing all information on the currently implemented spawns from the datapack: Wiki

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Cobblemon and Myths and Legends Addon

Q: What is the Cobblemon Myths and Legends Addon? A: The Cobblemon Myths and Legends Addon adds key items and new spawning conditions for Cobblemon, including pre-made spawns for each key item.

Q: How can I spawn legendaries in Cobblemon? A: To spawn legendaries in Cobblemon, players must ensure that their inventory contains specific key items and that they are standing in the correct biome for the legendary Pokémon to spawn. The mod automatically scans player inventories every 2 minutes and 30 seconds by default to determine eligibility for legendary spawns. This interval can be configured in the Cobblemon_MythsAndLegends_Addon_Config.toml file, located under config/MythsAndLegends, by adjusting the inventory_check_interval parameter (known as checkInventoryInterval in older versions) to your desired frequency. The default setting is 3600 Minecraft ticks, equivalent to 2 minutes and 30 seconds. For immediate inventory checks, players can use the /mythsandlegends checkinventory command. Afterwards, the /checkspawn ultra-rare command (or the appropriate command for a different spawn bucket, if modified) should be used to initiate the spawn check, ensuring the player is within the correct biome for the legendary Pokémon to appear.

Q: Do all configured Pokémon spawn in the game? A: Yes, every configured Pokémon does spawn, provided that all spawning conditions are met.

Q: What should I do if a spawned Pokémon doesn't have a texture? A: It's noted that the mod doesn't add any models or textures. You might need to check for compatibility with other mods or resource packs that add these elements.

Q: Can I modify spawn conditions for Cobblemon? A: Yes, with the standalone version of the Myths and Legends addon, you can create your own spawn settings. However, this might not work with the "normal" version, and specific items used in spawn conditions must be implemented in the version you're using.

Q: How can I make legendaries spawn more frequently? A: For more frequent legendary spawns, you can edit the spawn conditions, such as placing them in the common spawn bucket with a high weight, using the standalone version.

Q: Is there a way to report issues or suggestions for the addon? A: Yes, @Le0n(on Discord) encourages sharing any issues, ideas, or feedback to improve and evolve the addon. You can share your thoughts and suggestions directly in the conversation or through designated channels here:

• Discord Invite Link

Q: Can I use data/resource packs with this mod? A: Yes, data and resource packs like MysticMons can work alongside this mod, potentially adding models for the legendaries/mythical Pokémon.

Q: Where can I find the official guide and spawn pool information? A: The official guide and details on spawn pools are available at the Cobblemon wiki and the modrinth page.
