Cobblemon Confirm Release

by tmetcalfe89

Cobblemon Confirm Release adds a confirmation prompt before a Pokémon is released, so a shiny or other chosen Pokémon is not let go by accident.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.21.1

What it does

When a player tries to release a Pokémon that matches a criterion set in the mod, a prompt asks the player to confirm the release before it happens. The check covers shiny Pokémon by default, and the criteria can be extended through datapacks, matching Pokémon by species, strength and other possible reasons. Declining the prompt keeps the Pokémon in the party or PC.

The mod is built on Cobblemon and needs Cobblemon Tim Core and oωo (owo-lib) installed alongside it. It runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Shiny release protection

    Shiny Pokémon trigger a confirmation prompt by default, so a release from the PC cannot go through unnoticed.

  2. Criteria-based prompts

    Any Pokémon that matches a set criterion is checked before release, and the player must confirm each time.

  3. Criteria set in datapacks

    Criteria are defined in datapacks, which lets server owners adjust which releases trigger a prompt.

Use cases

Protecting rare catches

A player who has spent time hunting shiny Pokémon can keep them safe from a misclick in the PC.

Server rules for releases

Server owners can set which Pokémon need confirmation so players on a shared world follow the same release habits.

Who it’s for: Players who use the Cobblemon PC often and server owners who want a shared release safeguard. The mod suits both single-player and multiplayer worlds on 1.21.1.

Questions

Does Cobblemon Confirm Release need Cobblemon Tim Core?

Yes. Cobblemon Tim Core is a required dependency, along with Cobblemon and oωo (owo-lib). All three must be installed on Fabric or NeoForge.

Must the mod be installed on the server as well as the client?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Can the criteria for prompts be changed?

Yes. The criteria are set through datapacks, so server owners can add or change the Pokémon that trigger a confirmation.
