Description

✨ ShinyShift – Shiny Altar System for Cobblemon

ShinyShift introduces a structured, progression-based shiny system designed for Cobblemon survival and multiplayer environments.

The mod transforms shiny conversion into a deliberate altar ritual rather than a simple item interaction.

Shiny Pokémon remain rare, meaningful, and server-balanced.

💎 Core Mechanic – Shiny Altar Ritual

The old direct-use mechanic has been removed.

Players must now:

  1. Build the Shiny Altar structure
  2. Place the required blocks correctly
  3. Position the Pokémon inside the altar area
  4. Hold the Shiny Exchange Gem
  5. Right-click to activate

🏗 Shiny Altar Structure

The altar must be constructed exactly as designed.

It contains:

  • Shiny Stone Block (center zone)
  • Thunder Stone Block (activation layer)
  • Multi-layer structure requirement
