📢 **BCA 3.9.2 is LIVE!**
Hello @everyone!
It’s time to officially launch **Brocraft Cobblemon Additions v3.9.2**! 🎉
You might be wondering — why the jump from **3.8.1** straight to **3.9.2**?
That’s because all intermediate builds were seen and tested by our **Patrons** — what you’re getting today is the most stable, cleaned-up version yet, skipping the buggy in-between builds!
---
### 🧩 What's New in 3.9.2?
#### ✅ MOD FORMAT
We’ve officially transitioned from a **datapack to a full mod**!
No more installation headaches — just drop it into your `mods/` folder and you’re good to go. Updates will be easier from here on out, especially for launcher users.
---
#### 🎁 Custom Loot Pools Introduced!
The first **four themed loot pools** have been added:
- 🥘 `kitchen`
- 🛋️ `sitting_room`
- 🛏️ `bedroom`
- 🪜 `attic`
Expect many more to come in future updates, including:
- 🔧 Workshop loot pool
- 🌿 Gardener’s loot pool *(potential integration with Farmer’s Delight?)*
- ⛏️ Toolsmith & Miner loot pools
- 🧊 Refrigerator loot *(ice, meats, etc.)*
- 🐣 Easter egg loot *(what will it have? where will it be? 👀)*
---
### 🧪 We Need Your Feedback!
Balancing these loot pools is a HUGE priority — and your input matters.
Please read through the list of notes below and **join the thread attached to this post** to share your own thoughts!
These are my dev notes from testing the loot — what do you agree/disagree with?
```
- Lucky Egg is too common in kitchen chests
- Kitchen loot needs more *usable* food, and less filler
- Random item counts (up to 8) should be added for realism
- Loaded Dice & Metal Coat appear too often in sitting room
- Remove raw meats, use cooked versions
- Add Glowstone Dust & redstone components to attic
- Charcoal too common in kitchen; more coal instead
- Apples (esp. Applin Apples) appear too often
- Bottle o' Enchanting should be common across all loot types
- Add upgrade items for Sophisticated Backpacks
- Warp Scrolls too common — add more Return Scrolls and Warp Dust instead
- Consider integrating Farmer’s Delight for better kitchen loot?
- Regular backpacks show up too often — tone down their frequency
- Held items (type-specific) show up way too much
- Sophisticated backpacks should have their own loot tables
- XP Candies might need rarity tuning (especially M/L/XL)
- Add more redstone parts to attic (repeaters, pistons, etc.)
- Dusk & Quick Balls can be slightly more common
- Lanterns should be more prevalent
```
✅ Let’s shape these loot tables together. I'm watching the thread — I *really* want to polish this system and your insights will directly influence the next patch.
---
### 🎒 Optional Mod Integration!
We now include optional loot for:
- **Sophisticated Backpacks**
- **Traveler’s Backpack**
- **Waystones**
These mods are **fully optional** — if they aren’t installed, nothing breaks. But if they are, you’ll find items from those mods appearing in loot chests! 🔄

### 🔮 Sneak Peek Countdown

🔥 We’re sitting at **51 fire reactions** — once we hit **75**, I’ll post the **first dungeon sneak peek** 👀
