Cobblebalance
by NovaB64
Cobblebalance changes the base stats, abilities and evolution levels of many Pokémon in a Cobblemon world, and its changes can be inspected in game.
What it does
The mod is distributed as a data pack that rebalances Pokémon through their stats and abilities. Some changes lift the weakest Pokémon, such as giving Ledian a more useful attack stat, while others restore a classic ability, as with Gengar and Levitate. Starters, including regional forms, receive buffs, Meganium gains the Fairy type with Fairy-type moves on level up, and certain Pokémon such as Swanna, Haxorus and Mandibuzz evolve sooner. Some Pokémon also gain new combinations of abilities. A changes.txt file in the pack lists each modification, so server owners can check which rebalances apply.
The data pack is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across the game versions 1.21 – 1.21.1. The mod is a server-required, client-optional install, so a server needs it while players may leave it out. Using the Pokédex information mod lets players see the changes in game. The code is released under the MIT License, but the mod is not open source.
