Cobblemon KO Shiny
by tmetcalfe89
Cobblemon KO Shiny raises the chance of shiny Pokémon for players who defeat wild Pokémon of a species, as a Fabric add-on for Cobblemon.
What it does
Each wild Pokémon a player knocks out adds one to a counter tied to that species. The count is kept for the whole world and does not go back to zero. Wild Pokémon of that species that spawn near the player then gain a higher chance of being shiny as the count climbs.
Chances are grouped into thresholds. By default, a count of 101 or more gives 2 chances, 301 or more gives 3, and 501 or more gives 4. A player who has not reached a threshold gets 1 chance. When several nearby players have reached a threshold for the spawning species, the player with the highest count is the one whose chances apply, and that threshold adds its chances. The distance at which a player's count is considered can be changed in the config; the default is 64 blocks, and the thresholds are configurable too.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It requires Cobblemon and Fabric Language Kotlin, and is published for Fabric only, for 1.19.2. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the mod receives bug fixes only going forward. Shiny chance on the other side is set by shinyRate in the Cobblemon config, whose default is 8196.

What the author says
This mod will only receive bug fixes going forward. Cobblemon Unchained makes it so that this mod and a handful of others I made surrounding Pokémon spawning could play well together. Increase your chances of getting a shiny Pokemon by KOing wild versions of it!
