Restart the server. Cobblemon automatically creates a configuration folder at config/cobblemon/. Here you can change settings such as:
Pokemon spawn ratesand which Pokemon appear- Battle settings and difficulty
- Trading and evolution options
Edit the files via the file manager in the panel and restart the server after each change.
Step 4: Optional mods
Cobblemon works well with additional mods such as:
- Cobblemon Lure Module for extra spawn control
- GTS (Global Trade Station) for trading Pokemon between players
- Architectury API as a dependency for certain add-ons
Tips
