Haunted Encounters v.1 [Fabric/NeoForge 1.21.1]
by dogtorbloo
Haunted Encounters adds naturally spawning Ghost mobs inspired by Pokémon Tower ghosts of the Kanto Region, turning the Cobblemon world into something eerier after dark.
What it does
The mod requires Cobblemon and GeckoLib to run as intended. Its ghosts spawn in the world on their own, and the spawn rules can be adjusted through datapacks, so server owners can decide where and how often they appear. Players may notice more activity around a full moon at night, when the area around them seems empty of life and something floats in the distance before it stares back with glowing eyes.
The ghosts are meant to replace some vanilla hostile mobs in the lost-souls role, adding a harder and more unsettling layer to Cobblemon play. Each ghost type behaves differently, and some pass through walls, flee from sunlight or try to disorient a player with teleports. Installing it on a Fabric or NeoForge 1.21.1 instance is enough, and the environment is client and server, so a multiplayer server and every player need the mod. The mod is published for 1.21.1 only, with the latest file dated 2026-03-21, and it is licensed as All rights reserved, not open source.
Key features
Spawning Ghost mobs
Ghost mobs appear naturally in the world, bringing a new kind of threat into Cobblemon regions.
Varied ghost behavior
Forlorn Ghosts hit hard, Spectral Ghosts fire Shadow Balls and Wailing Ghosts strike at long range with rain and fire.
Datapack spawn control
Pokémon spawn scoping and ghost behavior can be changed through datapacks, so spawns can be tuned per world.
Night-time atmosphere
Full moon nights bring ghosts out, and some act neutral until a player provokes them.

How it compares
Cobblemon Alphas is a server-required mod that is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21.1, so players can join with it installed on the client. Monster Mod is NeoForge-only, client and server, and under the MIT License, so it does not reach Fabric players. Cobblemon Environment Interactions is client and server, released under the Apache License 2.0 and built for Fabric and NeoForge 1.21.1, so it changes the environment rather than adding ghosts.
