Cobbledex X Field Guide Compat Scan
by kopper.nico
Cobbledex X Field Guide Compat Scan lets the Cobbledex spyglass register Pokémon in both Cobbledex and Field Guide with a single scan, and it is built for Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
Cobbledex X Field Guide Compat Scan is an unofficial compatibility bridge between Cobbledex, Field Guide and Cobblemon on Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge. It takes the Field Guide spyglass scanning mechanic and connects it to Cobbledex, so a Pokémon scanned with the spyglass is registered in both mods at once and the Cobbledex spyglass becomes usable for scanning in the same way.
Registration happens whenever a scan completes, whether the scan came from the normal spyglass or from Cobbledex itself. The mod does not replace or change either original mod's scanning feature; it works as a standalone compatibility patch that sits between them. Cobblemon, Cobblemon Pokedex (Cobbledex) and Field Guide are all required, and the mod is published for Forge only, in one game version, 1.20.1, with the latest file 1.3.5.
Key features
Dual registration
A completed scan records the Pokémon in both Cobbledex and Field Guide, so one scan covers both mods.
Dynamic zoom
Scrolling the mouse wheel zooms the view in or out in small steps, up to five times magnification, and the zoom level is kept between uses.
Scan progress display
A progress bar labelled Identifying appears during a scan, and the Pokémon's name is shown with a confirmation that fades out once the scan completes.
Scan sounds
Distinct sounds play when the scope opens, when the zoom is adjusted and during the scan, where a beep rises in pitch until a chime marks completion.
Immersive view
The hand and held item are hidden while looking through the lens, as with the vanilla spyglass.
