Cobblemon : Shiny & Legendary fossil
by tek_sama
Cobblemon : Shiny & Legendary fossil adds fossils to the world that players revive into Shiny Pokémon, found in chests and other containers across the world.
What it does
Fossils are hidden in chests, barrels, minecart chests, shulkers and vaults spread through the world, so players have to explore to find them. Reviving a fossil grants a Shiny Pokémon, which makes the search rewarding and keeps the rarer finds special. The addon sits on top of the Cobblemon catalog and turns exploration into a source of shiny creatures.
Server owners and modpack creators can tune how often fossils appear with simple in-game commands, so a hardcore survival server can keep fossils scarce while an exploration-focused pack can make them more generous. The mod runs on NeoForge only and is published for 1.21 – 1.21.3, with 0.9.3 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. Both the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
