Cobble Spawn Tracker
by darimus
Cobble Spawn Tracker is a client-side mobs mod that lets a player locate specific Cobblemon Pokemon in the world by name, including shinies and legendaries.
What it does
Players list the Pokemon they want to find in a config screen, opened with the F8 hotkey. Once a name is tracked, the mod reports its distance and direction relative to the player, and it can also flag shinies, legendaries and regional forms automatically. Regional forms are entered by their base name, such as Sandshrew. The tracker drops entries that belong to player-owned Pokemon and hides entities that change dimensions.
The mod is client-side only, so the server needs nothing and players can join servers without installing it. It requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and Cobblemon is an optional dependency. Matching is case-sensitive, so tracked names must match the entity name exactly. Builds cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so the project is not open source.
Key features
Named Pokemon tracking
Any Cobblemon Pokemon can be added by typing its name in the config screen and pressing Enter, then tracked until removed.
Automatic shiny and legendary tracking
Shiny and legendary Pokemon can be tracked without adding them by name, and a config option auto-tracks uncaught Pokemon.
Distance and direction readout
Each tracked entity shows its distance and direction from the player, and a system message announces new spots the first time they appear.
Optional IV display
Options show the Pokemon level and the IV percentage, and an optional server-side install adds average IV and perfect IV count.
