Glow-in-the-Dark Pokemon [Cobblemon]

by Justicus

Glow-in-the-Dark Pokemon makes many Cobblemon species emit light, with a separate light level and underwater setting for each species.

FabricServer required, client optionalMozilla Public License 2.01.19.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

The mod sets light emission on Pokemon from the Cobblemon mod. Each species can be given its own light intensity, and the setting can also decide whether its light stays on while it is underwater. Chamander, for example, gives off light on land only. Properties cover more than 100 Pokemon, and the lighting is tied to the Pokemon itself, so a glowing Pokemon lights its surroundings wherever it stands.

Light is drawn through dynamic lighting mods, which are not included. Sodium Dynamic Lights is named by the author as the main supported option, and shader packs that support entity lights, such as Complementary Shaders, are said to work as well. Players who run no dynamic lighting mod will not see the glow, so one of those mods must be installed on the client. The author lists the dynamic lighting mods tested so far and invites reports of others, and the Pokemon animations from the games and anime are not all covered yet.

Glow-in-the-Dark Pokemon requires Cobblemon. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, with files for 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 and 1.0.2 as the latest file for 1.21.1. The server requires it, while clients may leave it out. The mod is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Per-species light emission

    Each Pokemon species can be set to emit light at its own intensity, covering more than 100 species.

  2. Underwater light control

    The setting for each species decides whether its light persists underwater, so Chamander glows on land only.

  3. Cobblemon native support

    Glowing is handled through Cobblemon's own support for Pokemon, so the light follows the Pokemon in the world.

What the author says

This datapack adds properties to over 100 pokemon that allows them to give off light. The intensity of the light is set per species. Whether or not the light persists underwater is also set per species (for example, a Chamander will emit light on land but not in water). In order for this to work, you will need a mod…
