Project Lazuli - ZAMegas Compat Patch
by shadowboxed
Project Lazuli - ZAMegas Compat Patch is a server-side compatibility pack that lets Nava's ZA Megas work alongside the Project Lazuli rules for Cobblemon.
What it does
The patch is a compatibility layer between Nava's ZA Megas and Project Lazuli. It is shipped as a data pack, so it can be loaded on a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt server that already runs the required mods. The pack adjusts how the ZA Megas fit Project Lazuli's rules, with edits to the Mega forms, moves and abilities that the two projects would otherwise conflict on.
Installation needs Cobblemon, Cobblemon: Mega Showdown and Navas ZA Megas, all three named as required dependencies. It is required on the server and optional for players. Files are published for 1.21 – 1.21.1, and the license is All rights reserved, with the source code publicly linked but the project not open source. The author notes that the pack was built around the Champions rules and does not invent new abilities.
Key features
Mega compatibility edits
Adjusts ZA Megas so they follow Project Lazuli's rules and remain usable beside its changes.
Move and ability changes
Edits Project Lazuli's moves and abilities so the Megas fit the adjusted balance.
Data pack delivery
Installs as a data pack, so no extra jar is needed when a data pack version is used in place of the mod.
Planned updates
The author plans further updates centered on newly revealed abilities, and a full list of changes is promised later.
