Cobblemon Rustling Spots

• Rustling Spots v1.0.0 (Initial Release)

First release of Rustling Spots, a Cobblemon focused mod that brings back the iconic rustling grass feature from Pokémon Black and White through fully configurable overworld event tiles.

✨ Highlights

• Implements the full Rustling Spots system with temporary event tiles that use particles, sound cues and interaction effects.
• Cobblemon only content. Spots never spawn vanilla mobs.
• Seven spot families with distinct surfaces, biomes, Pokémon pools and loot:
  • Grass spots
  • Sand spots
  • Water spots
  • Snow spots
  • Leaves spots
  • Cave spots
  • Flying spots
• Designed for modpacks and servers with easy configuration shipping.

🌱 Core Systems And Content

• Dynamic overworld events that spawn around players based on configurable frequency, density and distance.
• Per family rules for allowed surfaces, biome routing and dimensions.
• Each spot can resolve into:
  • A special Cobblemon encounter using the internal Cobblemon spawn commands.
  • A loot roll with family specific rewards plus an optional global loot pool.
• Option to disable any family or turn it into rare late game content through multipliers.
• Safe for existing worlds because spots are spawned dynamically around players and do not modify world generation.

🎛 Configuration And Data (First Pass)

• TOML based server config
  • Global enable and master density of Rustling Spots.
  • Minimum and maximum distance from players.
  • Maximum spots per dimension and per player.
  • Per family spawn multipliers to buff or nerf specific families.
  • Encounter versus loot ratio.
  • Optional player cooldown and despawn timers for cleanup.
  • Allowed dimensions list.
• JSON based Pokémon pools per family
  • Files in config/rustlingspots/pokemon/families.
  • Entries with species, weight, min_level and max_level.
  • Level ranges fully controlled by config instead of being hard coded.
• JSON based loot tables
  • Family loot files plus a global_loot.json merged into every roll.
  • Support for vanilla and modded items, with min, max and weight fields.
• Biome routing
  • Biome lists and tags stored in config/rustlingspots/biome_tags.
  • Ability to extend or replace vanilla biome sets for full compatibility with custom worldgen mods.
• Ships with an example configuration ZIP that demonstrates all options and structures.

🧪 Commands And Tools

• New admin command:

  /rustlingspots spawn <family>

• Used to instantly spawn a spot of any family for testing, showcases or scripted setups.

🛠 For Pack Makers And Servers

• Pack makers can:
  • Ship their own tuned Pokémon pools and loot tables.
  • Disable or reroute families to match custom regions and biome mods.
  • Control global and per species level ranges and shiny chances.
• All gameplay relevant settings are server side so servers can enforce their own balance.
