Myths and Legends [Cobblemon Sidemod]

This Cobblemon addon fundamentally changes Pokémon spawning mechanics by introducing a system of key items that directly influence spawn conditions. When a player holds specific items in their inventory, exclusive Pokémon begin to appear around them—but only if all required conditions for that particular species are met.

Core Features

Key items can be found in special loot chests by default, with their rarity and loot tables fully configurable through settings. This allows for fine-tuning the gameplay experience to match personal preferences.

Important Notice

Attention: For versions above 1.3, you must use the official Myths and Legends datapack or create your own. The official datapack is available through a public repository for those who want to experiment and create custom versions.

Additional Resources

A wiki page has been added containing all information about currently implemented spawns from the datapack.
