LegendControl-Defender [Pixelmon]
by Vecoo
LegendControl-Defender, a Pixelmon addon, controls when legendary Pokemon appear in a world and how long each one stays protected for the player who caught it.
What it does
The addon changes the spawn system for legendary Pokemon, so their appearances can be governed by the server rather than left to default spawning. It is a separate module, and the LegendControl mod itself works on its own as the base it builds on.
Once a legendary Pokemon appears, it is fully protected for a set time, and the protection is removed after that period passes. Players receive notifications as protection starts and when it runs out. Server owners can add other players to a trust list so they can take part in general catching during the protected window.
The addon is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It requires ExtraLib and Pixelmon, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge with files for 1.12.2, 1.16.5 and 1.21.1. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Each appearing legendary is protected for a set period, after which the protection is removed.
Trust list
Players can add others to a trust list, allowing them to catch the protected Pokemon during its window.
Expiry notifications
