RainApricot Spawn Notification (for Pixelmon)
by RainApricot
With RainApricot Spawn Notification installed, players are alerted in-game when a rare Pixelmon target appears nearby, so a shiny or legendary spawn is not missed.
What it does
The mod watches for rare targets and sends an instant, clearly marked in-game message when one appears. Monitored targets include wild Shiny Pokémon, wild Legendary Pokémon, wild BOSS Pokémon, Legendary Dens, Zygarde Cells cores and Master Ball chests. Each category can be switched on or off in the config, and the detection radius is adjustable from 10 to 500 blocks, with 120 blocks as the default.
The mod requires Pixelmon, and it runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only. Both the server and every player need it, because the notifications are part of the play session on each side. The code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Shiny and legendary alerts
Shiny and legendary spawns trigger high-visibility messages at the moment they appear, not after a player searches for them.
Coordinates in each alert
Each notification prints the target's coordinates on a separate line, so the location can be read at a glance.
Configurable detection radius
The radius that is watched can be set between 10 and 500 blocks, and the default of 120 blocks covers a balanced area.
Independent category toggles
Each target category, such as Zygarde Cells or Master Ball chests, can be enabled or disabled separately to tailor the alerts.

Use cases
Hunting rare spawns
A player searching for shinies or legendaries can stay in one area while the alerts report targets that appear nearby.
Raid and den planning
Legendary Dens and BOSS encounters are reported as they spawn, which lets a player gather a team before the target leaves.
Who it’s for: Players who use Pixelmon and want to be told when rare targets appear, and server owners who want a shared alert system for a Pixelmon world.
How it compares
Broadcast Pixelmon is server-side only, released under All rights reserved and built for NeoForge 1.21.1, so players join it without installing anything. Pixelmon PokeHaste is also server-side only and runs on NeoForge 1.21.1, but it is released under the MIT License and is not open source. RainApricot Spawn Notification runs on both the client and the server, so each player needs it installed.
