1.2.0 - The Customization Update (January 1st, 2023)

"There are going to be so many fakemon..."

Additions

• Added models for Natu and Xatu, Murkrow and Honchkrow, Wailmer and Wailord.
• Added new PC interface and it is beautiful.
• Reworked the battle system so that battles load faster, cause fewer bugs, and can run on shared server hosts. This is a very big change that also reduced the size of the mod by 50mb!
• Added full resource pack and data pack customization of models, textures, animations, spawning, and spawn file presets to make custom Pokémon species and variations very easy to create. You can find the guide for creating custom Pokémon on our website!
• Added water surface spawning for Pokémon like Lapras.
• Added emissive texture support to Pokémon render layers.
• Added compatibility for Mod Menu (CurseForge, Modrinth).
• Added blank ambient Pokémon cries so cries can be added via resource packs.
• Added new sounds for GUIs and item uses.
• Added nature and pokeball options to commands such as /spawnpokemon and /givepokemon.

Changes

• Reinforced party and PC saving to make data corruption from crashes less bad.
• Added a config option for whether the starter config will be exported, making it more maintainable as we add starter Pokémon.
• Battles now start with the options menu open for convenience.
• Doubled the default charge rate of healers. You'd need to reset your config under ./config/cobblemon/main.json to see this change!
• Changed the default Apricorn seed chance config value from 6% to 10%.
• The mod now correctly reports our dependency on Architectury API so people don't get super confused when things don't work.
• Pokémon now look at their opponents during battle.
• Updated Sableye's animations to be super freaky.
• Changed the healer advancements to make the healing machine's mechanics more obvious.
