Changelog

Important: The level_cap is not a value anymore that can be set per player but is rather derived from the current state of progress of that player. Because of the changes to the progression it is possible that when updating from an older version the level caps of players will be different (most likely lower)! Apart from that the progress of players should adapt to the changes but as a general advice always make backups before updating mods.

[0.13.10-beta] - 2025-01-18

Changed:

• #209 Update min requirement of RCTApi to version 0.10.6-beta (better compatibility with mods using the same api)

Fixed:

• #208 Slight adjustments to mod initialization (hopefully fixes random crashes on startup with neoforge)

[0.13.9-beta] - 2025-01-16

Changed:

• #207 Slightly tweaked some values related to natural spawning of trainers
• #206 Some adjustments to configs to ensure that the initial level cap is always greater or equal to the required level cap of the first trainer and the last rewarded level cap will always be 100

Fixed:

• #205 Config option additiveLevelCapRequirement having unwanted side effects when set to negative values
• #204 Config option allowOverleveling also allowing to battle trainers with pokemon above a players level cap when enabled (use initialLevelCap for that)
• #203 Issue with some config options not updating on clients in some occassions (clients currenlty still need to relog to see changes of required- and rewarded-level-caps of trainers in their trainer card)
• #202 Some bugs with (un)registration of persistent trainers
• #201 The progression set of players also being allowed to store non required trainers
• #200 Trainer Card arrow and foil effect not working in multiplayer
• #199 Trainer Card ignoring persistent trainers
• #198 Trainer Spawner having a low chance for players that had defeats against the trainer but still required them for their progression

[0.13.8-beta] - 2025-01-14

Added:

• #197 Server config dimensionBlacklist (thanks Vaniron)
• #196 Server config dimensionWhitelist

Changed:

• #195 Added hint to names of "Friendly Coaches" for what EVs their pokemon provide, tweaked their ai
• #194 Already defeated key trainers are now also "highlighted" in the Trainer Card list when required for the progression
• #193 Trainer Card arrow has now infinite range (the arrow will spin out of control if the target trainer is in a different dimension)

Fixed:

• #192 Fixed Trainer Spawner Block still taking globalSpawnChance and maxTrainersPerPlayer into account (see #180)
• #191 Trainer Card not recognizing alternative versions of key trainers no longer being required, if any of the versions has already been defeated (in certain circumstances)

[0.13.7-beta] - 2025-01-07

Fixed:

• #190 Potential crash with Trainer Card and some backpack mods (hopefully)

[0.13.6-beta] - 2025-01-06

Added:

• #189 AFK protection: Trainers will eventually despawn when nearby players do not move at all for a certain amount of time (~ 12 minutes). Note: This is a bit experimental, let me know if you have trainers unexpectedly disappear in front of your eyes.
• #188 Server config globalSpawnChanceMinimum: Minimum spawn chance for trainers based of how many trainers already spawned for a player
• #187 Server config spawnIntervalTicksMaximum: Maximum spawn interval for trainers based of how many trainers already spawned for a player

Changed:

• #186 Default value of globalSpawnChance from 1 to 0.85
• #185 Default value of maxTrainersPerPlayer from 8 to 12
• #184 Default value of maxTrainersTotal from 24 to 60
• #183 Default value of spawnIntervalTicks from 600 to 120
• #182 Some adjustments to trainer spawning behaviour, to sum it up: Trainers now spawn much more frequent for players (see #183) that have no or only a few trainers around them, trainer encounters should be more common while exploring, yet on the other hand reaching higher numbers of trainers will gradually take more and more time when sticking to the same location (see #187 and #188). Reminder: Defeating trainers will free up a players spawn cap!
• #181 The increase of the spawn weight for key trainers is now based of how close pokemon of players are to that trainers required level cap rather than the players current level cap (especially helpful if initialLevelCap is set to 100)
• #180 Trainer Spawner Block now ignores the globalSpawnChance and trainers spawned by that block will not count towards a players spawn cap anymore (i.e. can still spawn even if a player has filled up their maxTrainerPerPlayer)

Fixed:

• #179 Several issues with npc behavior (as well as some adjustemts)
  • fixed trainers tracking towards the same location in certain situations
  • trainers are now more likely to wander towards an (imaginary) goal (if they cannot find a path they will choose a new random goal)
• #178 Trainer Card ticking for non local players on clients (potential source of trouble and incompatibility with other mods, e.g. Trinkets)
• #177 additiveLevelCapRequirement being subtracted from initialLevelCap rather than added

[0.13.5-beta] - 2024-12-28

Changed:

• #176 Renamed loot table defeat_count conditions comparator values (EQUAL -> ==, LESS -> <, <= (new), GREATER -> >, >= (new), MODULO -> %), changed default count from 0 to 1 (default comparator is ==)

Fixed:

• #175 Custom comparator for loot table defeat_count condition causing a crash
• #174 Loot tables of custom data packs not working

[0.13.4-beta] - 2024-12-27

Fixed:

• #173 Level cap related settings requiring a server restart before changes took effect
• #172 Setting the initialLevelCap to high values also affecting the required level cap of trainers, which could prevent trainers from spawning if players don't have pokemon close to that level

[0.13.3-beta] - 2024-12-24

Fixed:

• #171 "Solution" to prevent issues caused by trainers unexpectedly being removed from a world (e.g. picked up with CarryOn)
• #170 Some issues with updating config values or reloading data packs while a server is running

[0.13.2-beta] - 2024-12-24

Fixed:

• #169 Suppressed crash caused by trainers being picked up with CarryOn (temporary solution)

[0.13.1-beta] - 2024-12-15

Fixed:

• #168 Desync issue with TrainerCard (e.g. by switching dimensions)

[0.13.0-beta] - 2024-12-11

Added:

• #166 Command: player set progress [player(s)] (before|after) <trainerId>
• #165 Double battles
• #164 Server config allowOverLeveling: Specifies if players should be allowed to level their pokemon above their level cap (default: false)
• #163 Server config trainerSpawnerItems: Allows to specify what items can be used to configure a trainer spawner to summon specific trainers
• #162 Trainer (type) dependent battle rules: Currently allows to set item usage restrictions, leaders and bosses will by default not allow more than 2 item uses
• #161 Trainer Spawner (craftable) block: Can be attuned to spawn different trainers whenever a player is nearby (and the trainer is not already elsewhere), trainers will not move while standing on this block, what items will spawn what trainers can be configured (check out the documentation for more information)
• #160 HomePos block positon tag for trainer npcs: Trainers will stay/move to the defined position, trainers spawned from a Trainer Spawner block will have that block set as their home position (this is also the case for any trainers nearby a matching Trainer Spawner block)

Changed:

• #159 Advancement defeat count trigger property trainer_id now an array trainer_ids (of which only one must be defeated for an advancement to be granted)
• #158 Advancment defeat count trigger now triggers if all trainers of a specified trainer_type are defeated if a negative count is given
• #157 Command: trainer get required_defeats now prints a list of required trainers
• #156 Core dependency "CobblemonTrainers" is now replaced by "RCTApi"
• #155 Data pack trainer format is now slightly different (see the docs for a full overview of changes)
• #154 Decreased trainer battle cooldown from 30 to 12 seconds
• #153 Increased battle attempts against leaders from 2 to 3 and against other trainers from 3 to 5
• #152 Minor adjustments to spawn rates: Decreased boosted rates for never beaten leaders but increased the rates for never beaten trainers in general
• #151 Possible spawn locations of leaders now somewhat match their themes (rather than beeing able to spawn everywhere)
• #150 Progression: Added more required trainer fights, e.g. Rocket Admin Archer after Brock and all the rival fights
• #149 ServerConfig: Renamed bonusLevelCap -> additiveLevelCapRequirement (works slightly different but effectively serves the same purpose)
• #148 Some pokemon that are originally supposed to mega evolve (i.e. holding key stones) now hold other competetive held items as replacement (until mega evolutions are supported)
• #147 Some trainers might carry items that they may use in battles (e.g. potions)
• #146 Trainer Card GUI: Trainers that can be spawned with a trainer spawner will show the item(s) required to do so on the 'Spawning' info page
• #145 Trainer defeat counts are now per player, this means different players can now fight the same trainer in a row (trainers will still tend to walk away if defeated/exhausted once)
• #144 Trainers now follow players holding a Trainer Card in their main- or off hand
• #143 Update to Cobblemon 1.6, Minecraft 1.21.1, Fabric/Neoforge
• #142 RIVAL names are now colored gold

Fixed:

• #141 Some oversights in npc ai behaviour (e.g. player tracking not working properly)
• #140 Some pokemon missing held items
• #139 Some pokemon not having the correct regional form
• #138 Trainer Card now glows and renders the arrow regardless if the trainer spawned in naturally or was summoned in any other way
• #137 Trainer pokemon sometimes dropping loot, missing trainer pokemon send out and retrieve animations, and probably some other stuff

Removed:

• #136 Command: player set level_cap (see player set progress for alternative)
• #135 ServerConfig: maxOverLevelCap (too much of a corner case and barely useful, see allowOverLeveling and additiveLevelCapRequirement for alternatives)
• #134 Trainer type BOSS (former bosses are now either of type RIVAL or TEAM_ROCKET)

[0.12.0-beta] - 2024-10-03

Added:

• #133 Server Config bonusLevelCap: Adjust difficulty with a single value
• #132 Support for PKGBadges/CobbleBadges: Leaders will now drop badges from this mod when a player defeats them for their first time
• #131 Support for SimpleTMs: Some trainer types have a chance to drop a random TR
• #130 Trainer Card tracking feature: The Trainer Card will start to glow if the next key trainer (e.g. leader) spawns nearby and render an arrow that will lead towards them
• #129 Trainer textures: These were procedurally generated in advance and mapped to the trainers so that every trainer identity has a unique appearance, though some differences might be very subtle for now. Different versions of the same trainer will have the same body but will most likely wear different outfits

Changed:

• #128 Drastically increased spawn chances for undefeated trainers (with emphasized names) and lowered the bonus spawn chance of key trainers (e.g. leaders) gained by players reaching their level cap
• #127 Increased trainer health from 20 to 30
• #126 Loot table defeat_count condition now supports a comparator field (EQUAL, SMALLER, GREATER or MODULO)

• #123 Trainer Card GUI: Click on discovered trainers in the list to show more information (e.g. biomes the trainer spawns in)
• #122 Trainers now slowly regenerate health (about twice as fast as horses)

Fixed:

• #121 Advancement defeat count trigger counting all instead of distinct defeats per trainer type

[0.11.1-alpha] - 2024-08-31

Fixed:

• #120 Potential battle error for some players caused by missing 'damage source' for battle loot tables

[0.11.0-alpha] - 2024-08-07

Changed:

• #119 Adjustments to trainer behavior (AI): Only undefeated key trainers (e.g. leaders) have a high chance to seek out players that can fight them (small chance for others), also trainers are now much stronger drawn towards villages in general and will most of the time mind own businesse (rather than stalking the player)
• #118 Server Config: Increasd default maxTrainersPerPlayer from 4 to 8 and maxTrainersTotal from 20 to 24 (since trainers should be more spread out due to the changes in they behaviour)
• #117 Trainers can now spawn on (layered) snow blocks
• #116 Update to CobblemonTrainers 0.1.1.11 (dropped support for earlier versions so make sure to update both!)

• #109 Notification above the hotbar when pokemon at or above the level cap attempt to gain experience

Changed:

• #108 Server Config: Decreased default spawnIntervalTicks from 1200 to 600 (30 sec.) (you may remove the setting from the config file or delete the complete file to update)
• #107 Server Config: Increased default maxTrainersPerPlayer from 4 to 6 (you may remove the setting from the config file or delete the complete file to update)
• #106 Trainers capable of fighting now don't despawn unless really far away (i.e. completely unloaded)

Fixed:

• #105 Fixed trainers accepting battles against players that are already in another battle

[0.10.1-alpha] - 2024-06-24

Added:

• #104 Command summon_persistent: As the name suggests summons a trainer with the Persistent tag already set
• #103 Trainer identity can now be set per trainer with a data pack and is used instead of the displayName to determine if different trainers refer to the same person (if not defined falls back to displayName)

Changed:

• #102 Repurposed 'Champion Lance' as regular trainer

Fixed:

• #101 Persistent trainers despawning on servers

Removed:

• #100 Hidden advancement for 'Champion Lance' as he is less of a challenge than his elite 4 version

[0.10.0-alpha] - 2024-06-19

Changed:

• #99 Adjusted name colors of trainer types: LEADER=green, E4=blue, CHAMP=light_purple, TEAM_ROCKET=dark_gray, BOSS=gold
• #98 Advancements have been slightly adjusted to reflect the latest changes in the progression (e.g. removed "Earth Badge" and added "Rising Badge")
• #97 Increased spawn chance for (undefeated) key trainers

• #95 Lowered level cap granted by Erika from 50 to 47
• #94 Removed "Leader Giovanni" from his duty as 5th gym leader. Now "Leader Clair" grants the 8th badge
• #93 Removed (misleading) TRAINER trainer type and added BOSS trainer type
• #92 Removed misleading labels (e.g. "Leader") from trainers that do not actually count towards a players progression
• #91 Removed previously given buff for some trainers that do not account for the progression anymore
• #90 Repurposed some weaker versions of key trainers as trainers of different types
• #89 Slight adjustments to trainer ai behaviour (they now respect personal space a bit more, prefer to hang around in villages and tend to stroll away once done battling)

Fixed:

• #88 Some key trainers (e.g. elite 4, bosses) not having an increased spawn chance when needed
• #87 Some key trainers beeing able to spawn before they could actually be battled with
• #86 player set defeats command failure when used for trainers that have never been interacted with

• #78 Defeat count loot condition for data packs (e.g. have trainers drop special loot on first defeat)
• #77 Persistent tag for trainers (0/false by default). Persistent trainers will never despawn and do not count towards the spawn caps. Care must be taken when enabling this tag for trainers since other trainers will not spawn as long as another trainer with the same name exists.

Changed:

• #76 Reformatted (spawner) debugging output
• #75 Removed redundant "this" property of defeat count condition for achievements
• #74 Reworked spawner system: Trainers now despawn when far away/beeing unloaded (similar to hostile mobs)

[0.8.3-alpha] - 2024-06-03

Fixed:

• #64 Trainers on cooldown not beeing counted towards a palyers spawn cap

[0.8.2-alpha] - 2024-05-31

Added:

• #63 Trainer types RIVAL and TRAINER

Changed:

• #62 Advancements have been reworked, some have been removed, some have been added, some have changed. Advancements will be granted again if a player repeats an action (e.g. beats a previous Leader again). They can also be granted manually with the vanilla advancement command.
• #61 Decreased minimum despawn distance (now equal to spawning config minHorizontalDistanceToPlayers which is 30 by default)
• #60 Trainers that cannot battle anymore now don't count towards a players spawn cap (they still count towards the global spawn cap)

Fixed:

• #59 "Wrong way to battle" advancement beeing granted for any npc
• #58 Advancements not beeing granted

[0.8.1-alpha] - 2024-05-29

Changed:

• #57 Reeneblad temporarily replaced switching moves (like uturn)
• #56 Update to Cobblemon 1.5.2 and CobblemonTrainers 1.1.7

[0.8.0-alpha] - 2024-05-29

Added:

• #55 84 new (endgame) trainers, which brings the total number up to 740
• #54 Command: player get defeats <trainerId> [<player>]
• #53 Command: player set defeats <trainerId> [<players>] <value>
• #52 Command: trainer get reward_level_cap <trainerId>
• #51 Command: trainer get type <trainerId>
• #50 Item: Trainer Card (open player stats gui with right click, can be crafted)

Changed:

• #49 Beating a champ now grants a level cap of 100
• #48 Buffed weaker versions of key trainers (elite 4/champs)
• #47 Command: Renamed former player get defeats ... to player get type_defeats <type> [<player>]
• #46 Decreased battle cooldown from 2000 to 600 ticks
• #45 Increased spawn cap per player from 3 to 4, decreased spawn interval from 3600 to 2400 ticks and decreased despawn delay from 24000 to 5000 ticks, in short higher spawn rates by default (changed default values will not be applied to existing configs)
• #44 Removed battle restrictions for some trainers
• #43 Spawn rates increased for key trainers not beaten by players (the closer a player gets to the level cap the higher the chance to spawn)
• #42 Trainer id system (now with proper unique ids). Saved data from previous versions will automatically migrate to the new system. Important notes for migration: Any trainers or trainer related data that has been modified with a data- or resource pack must be migrated manually (groups stay the same) by changing the file names to the new ids. Any (command block) commands that refer to trainers by their old ids must be migrated manually by changing the commands to use the new ids. Any trainer npcs from a previous version will have an invalid id, you can let them either despawn, get rid of them otherwise or change the TrainerId tag manually using the data command. A list of all id changes can be found in the documentation.

Fixed:

• #41 Many missing team members with different forms (e.g. 'alola')
• #40 Potential log spam for mobs with an invalid trainer id

Fixed:

[0.7.3-alpha] - 2024-05-16

Fixed:

• #36 Config option maxTrainersTotalValue setting a different config value maxLevelDiff
• #35 Missing config option maxTrainersTotal (this time actually)
• #34 Wrongly named config options: Removed "Value" suffixes. Old config values with wrong names will be reverted to their default values with the changed name. Either remove the "Value" suffixes manually before updating or adjust the configs afterwards (if any changes where made).

[0.7.2-alpha] - 2024-05-13
