Cobblemon Granular Shinies
by tmetcalfe89
Cobblemon Granular Shinies lets server owners set shiny spawn rates for individual Pokémon, replacing Cobblemon's single universal shiny rate.
What it does
By default Cobblemon applies one shiny rate to every Pokémon. This sidemod adds a configuration system that targets specific species and adjusts their shiny odds based on Pokémon Properties, in the same way spawn conditions are matched. Settings can be edited in config files or changed with commands, so server owners can tailor the balance without touching the rest of the game.
A typical example from the author text is raising the shiny odds of Moltres: one custom entry can give Moltres a 1 in 20 chance of spawning as a shiny, while a naturally spawning Galarian Ponyta keeps a rate of 1 in 100. The mod is intended for players who want shinies to feel more deliberate across a whole Cobblemon adventure rather than uniform everywhere.
Installation requires Cobblemon, Cobblemon Tim Core and Kotlin for Forge. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
Key features
Per-species shiny rates
Each Pokémon can have its own shiny chance, set separately from the universal default.
Rates from Pokémon Properties
Entries match Pokémon by their properties, using the same kind of criteria that control natural spawns.
Command editing
Shiny rate entries can be created and adjusted with commands while the server runs.
Custom config examples
Config examples such as a higher shiny chance for Moltres show how the rate system is set up.
