by SilverAce

Cobblemon PokeWarden replaces the Warden in Ancient Cities and the Deep Dark with Pokemon bosses drawn from Giratina, Guzzlord and Exploud.

What it does

The mod intercepts the vanilla Warden spawn event and checks the location to decide which species appears. Ancient City biomes at Y 0 and below spawn the configured ancient city species, which default to Exploud, Dusknoir and Guzzlord. In the Overworld, Giratina is the default boss, and the species can be changed in the config.

Each boss spawns only once per location. Once a boss has appeared in an Ancient City, a later Warden spawn there is cancelled, and the location is marked as already spawned. An Overworld Exploud boss follows the same cooldown as a vanilla Warden. The bosses use the battle system from Cobblemon Fight or Flight Reborn, so players must engage with a partner Pokemon. They have high-level stats, behave aggressively and carry an uncatchable property, so they cannot be captured by throwing a capture item.

Cobblemon PokeWarden requires Cobblemon and Cobblemon Fight or Flight Reborn. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 1.21.1 only, under the MIT License, which is not open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Key features

  1. Replacement Warden boss

    The vanilla Warden is replaced by Pokemon bosses in Ancient Cities and the Deep Dark biome.

  2. Location-based species

    The spawn event checks the biome and height to pick a species, so each area gets its own boss.

  3. Configurable spawns

    Species for the Overworld and Ancient City spawns can be changed, with Giratina, Exploud, Dusknoir and Guzzlord as defaults.

  4. One boss per location

    A location that already produced a boss cancels later Warden spawns, following the same cooldown as a vanilla Warden.

  5. Uncatchable bosses

    Boss Pokemon have high-level stats and cannot be captured by any capture item, so they are fought in battle.
