Better [Cobblemon] Mass Outbreaks

Expanding Mass Outbreak Possibilities

This datapack significantly enriches the mass outbreak system in Cobblemon, adding tremendous variety of events and providing access to previously unavailable items. Requires installed Cobblemon mod and base Cobblemon Mass Outbreaks mod.

Why This Project Was Created

Originally, my friend and I were developing a custom modpack for our server using Cobblemon and the mass outbreak system. I was surprised that we kept encountering the same events repeatedly. It turned out that the standard mass outbreak mod includes only 19 different variants.

What This Datapack Offers

Thanks to the mod's flexible system that allows datapacks to define outbreak types and conditions, we created a collection of 260 unique mass events covering almost all basic Pokémon from Cobblemon version 1.4. Each outbreak considers biome features if you have the biome_specific_spawns=true setting activated. Pokémon spawn locations correspond to their natural habitat zones.

Additional Features

The package also includes 52 "disabled" outbreaks that can be easily activated by removing the .disabled extension from the corresponding file names. These events are reserved for future updates or may be useful if you're using other datapacks that add models for these Pokémon.

Shiny hunters will be especially pleased - the chance of shiny Pokémon appearing in mass outbreaks is set at 1/158.2, matching the rates from Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Rewards for Completing Outbreaks

After successfully completing a mass outbreak, the portal will generate the following valuable items:

• Exp. Candy XS × 1
• Exp. Candy S × 1
• Exp. Candy M × 1
• Rare Candy × 1
• Cherish Ball × 1

These items cannot be obtained in the base mod version, and they provide an excellent opportunity to level up weaker Pokémon that typically aren't part of your main team!

Also added are compacting/unpacking recipes for all types of experience candies.

Important Features

The datapack does not include evolved Pokémon (except when their pre-evolution belongs to the baby Pokémon category) and is designed for systems with low outbreak frequency.
