Only Bottle Caps
Only Bottle Caps adds bottle caps to Cobblemon, obtained through fishing and applied to owned Pokémon to change their IV stats.
What it does
Bottle caps come mainly from fishing treasure loot. A regular fishing rod or the mod's PokeRod can catch a silver cap or a gold cap. Right-clicking an owned Pokémon applies the cap to it.
Silver bottle caps can be crafted into stat-specific caps by placing a stat's mint leaf around the cap in a crafting table, with a white mint leaf used for HP. Gold bottle caps raise all IV stats of a Pokémon to their maximum. Withered bottle caps, crafted from a bottle cap and a wither rose, set an IV stat to 0 instead of 31.
Only Bottle Caps requires Cobblemon and SuperMartijn642's Config Lib. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, and the mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license, so it is not open source.
