Cobblemon: Limited Legends
by Slaxlax
Cobblemon: Limited Legends brings back rarity by letting server owners set hard caps on how many legendary and mythical Pokémon each player can capture.
What it does
The mod limits how often legendary and mythical Pokémon can be caught in Cobblemon. Caps apply per species across the server, per player, or per player for each species, and each limit can be turned on or off in the config. Once a configurable capture limit is reached, further attempts at that Pokémon fail. Catch rate penalties make higher level Pokémon harder to catch, and a fight-before-capture option stops players from catching certain Pokémon until one battle has weakened them. Optional spawn blocking can stop unique Pokémon from spawning altogether, and optional spawn messages announce them to players when they appear.
The mod requires Cobblemon and Fabric Language Kotlin. It is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, targeting 1.21.1 only, with version 1.9.0 as the latest file dated 2026-02-01. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source.

Use cases
Rare encounters on a server
Owners running a long-term world can keep legendary catches scarce, so each capture stays notable.
Spawn announcements only
Servers can enable spawn messages without blocking spawns, so players learn when a unique Pokémon appears.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want legendary and mythical Pokémon to stay scarce, and players who run Cobblemon on a server with these limits applied.

What the author says
Limited Legends brings back the rarity by letting you set hard limits on how many times each Pokémon can be captured or whether they need to be fought first — ensuring that catching one feels truly special. Any feature is configurable. For example, you could also use this mod only for its spawn notifications!
