Cobblemon Broadcaster
by TheNovoro
Cobblemon Broadcaster posts a message to global chat when a Shiny, Legendary, Mythical or Ultra Beast Pokémon spawns near a player, and it covers captures and defeats as well.
What it does
Announcements are sent to global chat in real time. Whenever a Shiny, Legendary, Mythical or Ultra Beast Pokémon appears close to a player, the mod posts a message to global chat, and it can post notices for captures and defeats as well. Each message is built from configurable templates with placeholders that fill in the Pokémon, the player and the location, so the wording can match the style of a server.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything and only the server needs it. It is published for Fabric alone, with 11 release versions 1.21 – 1.21.10, and the latest file is 1.3.0+1.21.1 for 1.21.1. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source is public. It requires Cobblemon to run, since the announcements are built on its Pokémon data.
Key features
Spawn announcements
Rare spawns near a player are sent to global chat as they happen, including custom-aspect variants.
Custom messages
Spawn, capture and faint messages can be rewritten in the config to fit the tone of a server.
Tier filters
Announcements can be switched on or off for specific Pokémon tiers, so only chosen rarities are posted.
Custom aspects
New Pokémon aspects can be added with their own messages, and the config shows how to add a Shinier aspect.
World blacklist
Broadcasts can be disabled in named worlds, which stops spam where announcements are not wanted.

How it compares
Cobblemon Outline is a client-required mod with server support optional, under the Apache License 2.0 and not open source, published for 1.21.1 on Fabric. CobbleGuard is server-side only and under All rights reserved, also for 1.21.1 on Fabric, so it can sit beside Cobblemon Broadcaster on the same server without changing the environment.
