Cobblemon Shiny Starter

Overview

Cobblemon Shiny Starter is a server-side mod that gives players a configurable chance to receive a shiny Pokémon when they choose their starter. Never miss out on that rare sparkle again!

Features

  • Configurable shiny chance - Set the percentage chance (0-100%) for starters to be shiny
  • Automatic config generation - Creates a clear config file on first run
  • Works with all starters - Compatible with every generation of starter Pokémon
  • Server-side only - No client installation required

How to Use

  1. Install the mod on your server
  2. The mod automatically creates a config file at config/cobblemonshinystarter.json
  3. Edit the config to set your desired shiny percentage (default is 10%)
  4. Restart the server to apply changes
  5. When players pick their starter, it has a chance to be shiny!

Config Options

Open config/cobblemonshinystarter.json and adjust:

  • shinyChancePercent: The percentage chance (0-100) for a starter to be shiny

Commands

  • /cobblemonshinystarter - Check the current shiny chance setting

Tips & Tricks

  • Set the chance to 100% for a guaranteed shiny starter experience
  • Set to 0% if you want to disable shiny starters entirely
  • Changes to the config require a server restart to take effect
  • The mod works alongside Cobblemon's built-in doShinyStarters gamerule - both can be active!

Known Limitations

  • Config changes require a server restart to take effect (no in-game reload command yet)
