BronySpecs (for Pixelmon)
by Hacko
BronySpecs is a Forge server add-on for Pixelmon that lets server owners set extra specifications on individual Pokémon species and individual Pokémon.
What it does
Server owners can attach custom flags, hidden ability chances, shiny chances, egg steps and friendship changes to Pokémon through the keys and arguments that the mod defines. Each setting targets a species or a single Pokémon and can be written as plain text in the configuration.
The mod adds a further layer of customisation on top of the native Pixelmon Reforged options, and it can be used by other Forge mods or plugins that define their own Pokémon specifications. BronySpecs is a Pixelmon add-on: Pixelmon is required, and the mod is published for Forge 1.16.5 only, with 1.2.0 as the latest file from 2023-09-13. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join. The mod is published under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Custom flags
A string value can be applied to a Pokémon's data, for example to tag a set of Pokémon for an event or a placeholder.
Hidden ability chance
A numeric chance from 1 to 100 sets how often a Pokémon with a hidden ability receives it, instead of the regular ability.
Shiny chance
A numeric chance from 1 to 100 sets how often a Pokémon species can appear as a shiny.
Egg steps and friendship
Egg steps and friendship values can be set for a specific Pokémon, and friendship can also be increased by a specified amount.

Who it’s for: Server owners who run Pixelmon on Forge 1.16.5 and want precise control over individual Pokémon settings.
