What is Cobblemon Spawn Alerts?

Cobblemon Spawn Alerts (CSA) is a utility and QoL addon/sidemod for Cobblemon to notify players of Pokemon spawns. CSA is designed to be client-first, with a highly customizable config for players to control exactly what they want to see, and how they see it.

For more details and examples on using these features, see the documentation.

Is the mod required on clients?

Yes. CSA must be present on the client and will not function otherwise. Unlike other mods which may simply send a global message through the server, CSA's client is responsible for turning data into functional alerts. If a server has CSA installed, you will be required to install it on your client.

Is the mod required on servers?

Although not strictly required, the mod is highly recommended to be installed serverside to unlock all of its features.

Servers may optionally:

  • Globally alert all players on the server of spawns and despawns
  • Broadcast spawn bucket, nature, IVs, etc. to clients
  • Enable alerts for Pokemon spawned via command (do not use without knowing what you're doing)
Limitations

Without the mod being installed on the server, the features listed above will not work.

warning

Certain info about a Pokemon may not be displayed properly if server owners choose to disable it!
This also applies to using CSA on a server which does not have the mod installed.

Be advised that what you see may not always be accurate.
