Cobblemon Spawn Notification
by tmetcalfe89
Cobblemon Spawn Notification sends chat and sound alerts when a chosen kind of Pokémon spawns, is caught, despawns, dies or is fished up.
What it does
Each alert is a situation made of a trigger and one or more filters. A trigger is the event that fires it, such as a wild Pokémon appearing or a player catching one. Filters narrow the match, for example to shiny Pokémon or to a single species, so a chat message can be limited to a rare capture.
Five triggers come built in, covering captures, despawns, deaths outside battle, defeats in battle and catches made while fishing. Server owners can use the alerts to broadcast notable events to everyone on a server.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It requires Cobblemon, Cobblemon Tim Core and Kotlin for Forge on Forge, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering game versions 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, with the latest Fabric and NeoForge builds for 1.21.1 and the latest Forge build for 1.20.1.
Key features
Chat notifications
Matching events send a chat message to the server, with the spawn details written into the text.
Sound notifications
A situation can also play a sound, with a separate and louder sound for shiny Pokémon.
Trigger and filter situations
Each situation pairs a trigger with filters, so alerts fire only for the events a server owner selects.
Built-in triggers
Five triggers are included: capture, despawn, death outside battle, defeat in battle and fishing.
Test command
The /pokespawn command runs a test broadcast for a species, with a shiny variant for checking the shiny alert.

Use cases
Announcing rare spawns
A server can broadcast when a shiny or legendary Pokémon appears, so players know where to look.
Tracking captures
Alerts for player captures let a server share notable catches as they happen.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run Cobblemon and want chat or sound alerts for selected Pokémon events. Players only need the base game and Cobblemon, since the mod runs on the server alone.

What the author says
…the game let you know about important spawns? As a quick test, jump into a world where you have OP powers, and run /pokespawn mewtwo to see the legendary spawned broadcasts go off. Run /pokespawn mewtwo shiny to see the shiny spawned chat and louder shiny sound broadcast go off.
