Cobblemon Shiny Tokens
by Zappymc1
Cobblemon Shiny Tokens lets players trade unwanted shiny Pokémon for tokens and spend those tokens to turn a Pokémon shiny, inside a Cobblemon server economy.
What it does
Players exchange shiny Pokémon they do not want for Shiny Tokens through a dedicated exchange screen. Tokens are then spent to transform a chosen standard Pokémon into a shiny one. The exchange screen lets a player select a Pokémon from the active party, the PC or the storage boxes before the trade is made.
The mod is lightweight and is meant to run as a customizable token economy on a Cobblemon server, with GUIs, sounds and permission handling included.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for game version 1.21.1, and runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It needs Cobblemon on the server, and Fabric API is needed on Fabric as well. Permission checks work with LuckPerms, and the nodes cobbleshinytoken.command.exchange and cobbleshinytoken.command.admin fall back to default OP levels when no permission plugin is present.
Key features
Shiny exchange screen
A GUI lets players choose a Pokémon from their party, PC or storage boxes and trade it for tokens or exchange tokens for a shiny.
Configurable token costs
Costs for each Pokémon category, from normal to Paradox, are set in the config so the server controls the price of a shiny.

Unwanted shiny Pokémon earn Shiny Tokens, and tokens are the only currency needed to turn a standard Pokémon shiny.

Integrated permission nodes for exchanging and administration work with LuckPerms and fall back to default OP levels.
