Cobblemon Capture XP
by tmetcalfe89
Players who catch wild Pokémon with Cobblemon Capture XP see their team gain experience from each capture, whether the catch happens in battle or out of it.
What it does
Each successful capture gives experience to the team, as if the lead Pokémon had battled the one that was caught. The amount is adjustable as a percentage, and the team can optionally gain EVs from captures as well. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 across three release versions.
Cobblemon and Cobblemon Tim Core are required, and Kotlin for Forge is required on Forge. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own. The code is under the MIT License and is open source, with public links to the source, issue tracker and wiki.
Key features
Team experience from captures
Every capture grants experience to the player's team, so Pokémon level up while they are caught.
Adjustable experience rate
The percentage of experience received from a capture can be changed to suit the pace of a world.
Optional EV gains
Captures can also award EVs to the team, a setting that can be switched on or off.
In and out of battle
Captures count both during battles and outside them, with separate options for each situation.
ExpAll option
A built-in ExpAll setting shares experience across the team, with separate settings for battle and out-of-battle use.
