Gotta Grind 'Em All

A mod to grind and farm Cobblemon

Items & Blocks

Cobblemon Egg

Use on Grass, Dirt, Mycelium, or Farmland to convert a 5x5 area into Cobblemon Dirt. Consumed on use. Does not stack.

Cobblemon Dirt

A block that periodically spawns random Cobblemon when the light level above it is 10 or higher and the space above is clear. Up to 8 mon can exist in an 11x5x11 area before spawning stops.

Spawn rarity is controlled by configurable bucket weights (see Configuration). Stacks to 64.

Redstone Integration

Cobblemon Dirt responds to redstone signals:

Constant ON signal: Disables natural spawning. The block will not spawn any mon while powered.
Rising edge (signal turns on): Forces an immediate spawn attempt, ignoring the normal timer. This allows redstone clocks and pulse circuits to control spawn timing precisely.

This means you can use a redstone clock to trigger spawns on demand, or power the block to pause spawning entirely. With Jade installed, the tooltip will show "Spawning Disabled via Redstone" when the block is powered.

Pocket Chow

Use on a Cobblemon to trigger an explosive reaction. The mon floats upward for about 1 second, then explodes with a creeper death sound and particles, dropping a Cobblemon Egg. Does not stack.

Configuration

Server-side configuration is found in gottagrindemall-server.toml.

Setting	Default	Description
`allow_shiny`	`true`	Allow shiny mon to spawn from Cobblemon Dirt
`spawn_weights.common_spawn_weight`	`100.0`	Weight for common mon spawns
`spawn_weights.uncommon_spawn_weight`	`10.0`	Weight for uncommon mon spawns
`spawn_weights.rare_spawn_weight`	`5.0`	Weight for rare mon spawns
`spawn_weights.ultra_rare_spawn_weight`	`1.0`	Weight for ultra-rare mon spawns

Spawn weights are normalized so the total equals 100%. For example, setting common=2, uncommon=1, rare=1, ultra_rare=1 means 40% common and 20% each for the other tiers. Set a weight to 0 to disable that tier entirely.
