Cobblemon Wild Hidden Abilities
by tmetcalfe89
Cobblemon Wild Hidden Abilities gives wild Pokémon spawns a chance to carry a hidden ability, and a server config sets how likely that chance is.
What it does
Each time a wild Pokémon spawns, the mod can open its hidden ability slot. The chance is set by a single flat value in the config, with a default of 1 in 10, so about 10% of wild spawns get the slot. The mod was written for Cobblemon on Fabric for 1.19.2, and it needs Cobblemon, Cloth Config API and Fabric Language Kotlin to run.
Many Pokémon gained hidden abilities across different generations of the main games, and each generation offered a different way to obtain them. This mod does not try to reproduce those methods; it adds the chance to wild encounters instead. Because the environment is server-side only, players join without installing anything, and only the server needs the mod. The project is open source under the MIT License. Its public source code, issue tracker and wiki are available, and the author has said that updates will be limited to fixes for existing behavior.

How it compares
HiddenMons [Cobblemon] is a Fabric and NeoForge mod for 1.19 – 1.21.1 that is server required with client optional, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is not open source. Battle Only Capture is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that is server-side only, under the MIT License and not open source, so it covers capture rules rather than spawn abilities.

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. Adds a chance for wild Cobblemon to spawn with their hidden abilities.
