CobbleCentral
by .happ
CobbleCentral is a NeoForge management mod for Cobblemon servers that protects Pokémon from despawning and adds timed and permanent protection options.
What it does
Protection in CobbleCentral can be set as permanent or timed, so a wild Pokémon can be kept from despawning for as long as an admin needs. Shiny wild Pokémon are covered by a specific rule that stops them from despawning, which keeps rare encounters in place once they appear. Settings are read from simple JSON files, so a server owner can change protection behavior without editing code.
The mod works alongside Cobblemon and improves gameplay around it, and it runs its own server-side logic. Its hunt feature takes inspiration from bencrow11's mod. Because the environment is client and server, both the server and every player need it to match. CobbleCentral requires Cobblemon and LDLib to run, and it is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Permanent protection
A Pokémon can be marked so it never despawns, which holds a spawn in place on the server.
Timed protection
Protection can also expire after a set period, letting an admin decide how long a Pokémon stays.
Shiny despawn prevention
Wild shiny Pokémon are kept from despawning, so rare encounters are not lost while players look for them.
JSON configuration
Protection behavior is set in simple JSON files that a server owner can edit directly.
Hunt tool
A hunt feature, inspired by bencrow11's mod, helps players track a target Pokémon across the world.
