CobbleEventAlerts

CobbleEvent Alerts is a lightweight server-side Fabric mod designed for Minecraft 1.21.1 servers running Cobblemon 1.7.3. Its main purpose is to make rare wild Pokémon encounters feel more exciting, visible, and fair for players without requiring any client-side installation.

Whenever a naturally spawned Legendary, Mythical, or Shiny Pokémon appears, the mod automatically sends a personalized chat notification to nearby players. The alert includes the Pokémon’s name, exact coordinates, distance, direction, and a configurable notification sound. Legendary Shiny encounters receive their own special combined alert.

One of the mod’s key features is its private tracking system. The player whose Cobblemon spawn cycle actually generated the rare Pokémon receives an exclusive clickable tracking option. Once activated, a live Action Bar indicator shows the Pokémon’s current direction and distance, updating as both the player and Pokémon move. Other nearby players still receive the spawn coordinates, but they cannot use the private tracker.

CobbleEvent Alerts also follows the encounter until it ends. If the announced Pokémon is captured, nearby players are notified of who caught it, and any active tracking stops automatically. If it genuinely disappears, the mod can announce that as well.

Most behavior is configurable, including alert radius, sounds, tracking duration, coordinates, direction display, Mythical handling, and disappearance timing. The mod is designed to stay lightweight, server-friendly, and easy to expand with additional event types in the future.
