🔧 Update 1.6.2

A follow-up focused on a massive Riding audit after the Cobblemon 1.8 migration, plus a batch of bug fixes and small tech tweaks.

🎢 Mass Riding Fix (Post-Cobblemon 1.8)

If you've had a Pokémon "ride" where you stay frozen on the ground while it walks/flies/swims on its own (and you teleport back when dismounting), this section is for you.

Root cause: Cobblemon 1.8 ("Make Your Move") changed how species_additions merges/overrides species data (confirmed in the official changelog: "SpeciesAdditions append vs override now matches the wiki documentation"). Before this change, CobbleCreate's custom riding data could coexist with/inherit seat data (seats field) from other sources. After the change, any species_additions file of mine that defines riding now replaces the entire block, wiping out the seats field whenever my file didn't include it, which was the case for practically every custom riding file I'd made before this behavior change. Without seats, the game has nowhere to visually anchor the player on the Pokémon's model: the server registers the ride as active (hence the teleport on dismount), but the player stays stuck on the ground while the Pokémon moves freely.

Rides restored using data already present in another mod (100 Pokémon): I removed CobbleCreate's duplicate riding data for these, each one already had a working ride (with correct seats) coming from another source that my own file was unintentionally overwriting:

Aerodactyl (Cobblemon), Alakazam (Cobblemon), Altaria (Cobblemon), Appletun (ATMxMSD), Arcanine (Cobblemon/ATMxMSD), Arceus (Mega Showdown), Archaludon (Cobblemon), Archeops (Cobblemon), Articuno (Cobblemon), Bastiodon (Cobblemon), Beedrill (Cobblemon), Blastoise (Cobblemon/Mega Showdown), Bouffalant (Cobblemon), Braviary (Cobblemon), Bronzong (Cobblemon), Butterfree (Cobblemon/Mega Showdown), Camerupt (Cobblemon), Charizard (Cobblemon/Mega Showdown), Cobalion (ATMxMSD), Corviknight (Cobblemon), Crobat (Cobblemon), Cyclizar (Cobblemon), Dodrio (Cobblemon), Dondozo (Cobblemon), Dragonite (Cobblemon), Drampa (Cobblemon), Drifblim (Cobblemon), Druddigon (ATMxMSD), Entei (Mega Showdown/ATMxMSD), Espathra (Cobblemon), Exeggutor (Cobblemon), Farigiraf (Cobblemon), Fearow (Cobblemon), Fluttermane (ATMxMSD), Flygon (Cobblemon), Garbodor (ATMxMSD), Genesect (Mega Showdown), Girafarig (Cobblemon), Glastrier (Mega Showdown), Golem (Cobblemon), Goodra (Cobblemon), Gouging Fire (ATMxMSD), Groudon (Mega Showdown), Gyarados (Cobblemon), Honchkrow (Cobblemon), Ho-Oh (Mega Showdown), Hydreigon (Cobblemon), Iron Crown (ATMxMSD), Kangaskhan (Cobblemon), Keldeo (Mega Showdown), Kilowattrel (Cobblemon), Koraidon (Mega Showdown), Kyogre (Mega Showdown), Lapras (Cobblemon/Mega Showdown), Latias (Cobblemon/Mega Showdown), Latios (Cobblemon/Mega Showdown), Lugia (Cobblemon/Mega Showdown), Lunala (Mega Showdown), Machamp (Cobblemon/Mega Showdown), Magnezone (Cobblemon), Mamoswine (Cobblemon), Mantine (Cobblemon), Melmetal (Mega Showdown), Metagross (Cobblemon/Mega Showdown), Milotic (Cobblemon), Miraidon (Mega Showdown), Moltres (Cobblemon), Mudsdale (Cobblemon), Naganadel (ATMxMSD), Nidoqueen (Cobblemon), Onix (Cobblemon), Pidgeot (Cobblemon), Raging Bolt (ATMxMSD), Raikou (ATMxMSD), Rayquaza (Mega Showdown), Regigigas (ATMxMSD), Reshiram (Mega Showdown), Rhyperior (Cobblemon), Salamence (Cobblemon), Sharpedo (Cobblemon), Silvally (Mega Showdown), Skarmory (Cobblemon), Snorlax (Cobblemon), Spectrier (Mega Showdown), Stakataka (ATMxMSD), Staraptor (Cobblemon), Suicune (ATMxMSD), Terrakion (ATMxMSD), Togekiss (Cobblemon), Type: Null (Mega Showdown), Venusaur (Cobblemon/Mega Showdown), Virizion (Mega Showdown/ATMxMSD), Volcanion (Mega Showdown), Wigglytuff (Cobblemon), Wo-Chien (Mega Showdown/ATMxMSD), Yveltal (Mega Showdown), Zacian (Mega Showdown), Zamazenta (Mega Showdown), Zekrom (Mega Showdown), Zygarde (Mega Showdown)

Custom rides fixed, exclusive to CobbleCreate (219 Pokémon): no ride exists for these in any other addon/mod, this riding is 100% the pack's own custom work. Added back the missing seats field, keeping the hand-tuned flight/water/ground stats exactly as they were, no other changes:

How this was done: a cross-audit of 233+ files (datapack + KubeJS) against the native data from Cobblemon, Mega Showdown, and AllTheMons x Mega Showdown. A sample of 100 Pokémon was tested and all worked correctly. Since the total is 323, it's possible a rare edge case (e.g. a model missing its seat_1 locator) slipped through. If any Pokémon's ride is still bugged (player stuck on the ground, mount walking on its own, teleport on dismount), please report it on Discord with the Pokémon's name for a targeted fix.

• Fixed/adjusted the armored Mewtwo model
• Updated the Talonflame texture in the CobbleCreate RP, was crashing due to a conflict with Mayview's resources
