Myths and Legends [Cobblemon Sidemod]

In the latest update of our beloved Cobblemon Myths and Legends addon, I'm thrilled to introduce a slew of exciting features designed to enrich your gameplay experience. Among these, the broadcasting system and inventory check enhancements stand out, offering both a deeper immersion into the world of Cobblemon and a more refined control over game mechanics. With a keen focus on improving interactions and adding a layer of strategy, I've crafted these updates to enhance your adventures and challenges within the Cobblemon universe.

New Features

config/MythsAndLegends/Cobblemon_MythsAndLegends_Addon_Config.toml

Broadcasting System:

• Added: A comprehensive broadcasting system to notify players about significant events, specifically Pokemon spawns, through customizable messages. This system includes several settings allowing for precise control over what information is shared and how.

  • isBroadcastEnabled = false: Activates the broadcasting features, encompassing all notification types specified under broadcast_settings. This toggle enables or disables the entire broadcasting system, with the default set to false for a quieter experience.

  • broadcast_settings:

    • BroadcastToAll: When enabled, broadcasts messages to all players. Default is true.
    • DisplayName: Shows the name of the Pokemon in the message if enabled. Default is true.
    • Legendarys, Mythicals, UltraBeasts: Enable messages for the respective Pokemon spawns. Defaults are true for Legendarys and Mythicals, and false for UltraBeasts.
    • Location: Includes the spawn location in messages if enabled. Default is true.
    • Shiny, Level: Enable broadcasting the Shiny status and the level of the spawned Pokemon, respectively. Defaults are false for Shiny and true for Level.

Inventory Check Enhancements:

• Added: New options to scan for items within shulker boxes and bundles, adding a layer of depth to inventory management.

  • inventory_check_shulker_boxes = true: Scans the contents of shulker boxes during inventory checks.

  • inventory_check_bundles = true: Scans the contents of bundles during inventory checks.

Changes:

• Inventory Check Interval: The inventory_check_interval setting, formerly known as checkInventoryInterval, has been reimagined to allow for a flexible time frame between checks, enhancing gameplay fluidity and reducing predictability.

Added Debt System:

• Introduced: A debt system that adds a strategic element to item management. If a player stashes required items out of sight, they may incur a debt that prevents certain Pokemon spawns until the debt is cleared by having the items in their inventory during an inventory check.

Configuration Adjustments:

To accommodate these new features and changes, various settings within the Cobblemon_MythsAndLegends_Addon_Config.toml file have been adjusted or added. These adjustments aim to provide a tailored experience that fits your play style, whether you seek a more immersive, information-rich game or prefer to discover the mysteries of Cobblemon on your own terms.

I hope these updates enhance your journey through the world of Cobblemon, bringing new challenges and surprises around every corner. As always, your feedback is invaluable to me, and I look forward to hearing about your adventures with these new features at your side.
