HoneyTrees - Spiritual Revival of Pokémon Tree Mechanics
The HoneyTrees modification offers unique gameplay mechanics inspired by the Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum series, specifically adapted for the Cobblemon mod. The main innovation is the addition of a honey jar that can be crafted by combining a honey bottle with any apricorn.
How It Works
The obtained honey jar can be used by right-clicking on an apricorn log to coat the tree in sticky honey. This unique substance remains on the tree surface for approximately one in-game day, creating a temporary environmental modification that attracts certain types of creatures.
Flexible Mob Spawn System
The base mod version doesn't contain preset mobs - instead it provides a powerful tool for amateur development. The system uses the honey-coated log as a spawn condition for creatures through data packs. You can create your own data packs defining exactly which mobs will appear near such trees.
For those who prefer ready-made solutions, the author provides a basic data pack with an example spawn configuration that serves as an excellent starting point for further customization to suit your own preferences and gaming experience.
Future Plans
The author acknowledges that the current implementation requires manual setup via data packs and is considering the possibility of integrating more reliable and automatic spawn mechanics in future mod updates. Although this functionality won't appear in the immediate future, creators hope to eventually simplify the setup process for regular users.
