Cobblemon Capture Notification
by plakskekaas
With Cobblemon Capture Notification, a server-wide message appears whenever a player catches a Pokémon that qualifies as special, such as a shiny or a Legendary.
What it does
Each time a player finishes a capture, the mod inspects the caught Pokémon to see whether it counts as special. If it does, a broadcast goes out to everyone online. Messages support placeholders for the player name and the Pokémon name, so each announcement is filled in automatically.
Announcements are configured in a file, and the notification settings can be reloaded in-game with a simple command, so changes take effect without restarting the server. Each category of special Pokémon has its own broadcast color, and individual notification types can be switched on or off. The mod runs on Fabric and needs Cloth Config API, Cobblemon, Fabric API and Kotlin, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Server-side only, so players join without installing it. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.5 across 12 release versions, with the latest Fabric file, 1.7-fabric-1.3.0, targeting 1.21.4 and dated 2025-06-04.
Key features
Capture broadcasts
Catching a shiny, a Legendary, an Ultra Beast or a Mythical Pokémon sends a message to all players on the server.
Color-coded categories
Each category of special Pokémon is announced in its own color, chosen from the Minecraft chat color set.
Customizable messages
The format of each announcement is edited in the configuration file, using player and Pokémon name placeholders.
Per-type toggles
Notifications can be enabled or disabled for each type of capture, so only the wanted announcements are sent.
In-game reload
Changed messages are applied with a reload command, so server owners avoid a restart after editing the configuration.
