🧩 NEW MODS COMING

🪑 DecoCraft

Adds a massive catalog of decorative blocks, furniture, and props.
Perfect for gyms, cities, shops, taverns, academies, and immersive builds.
Purely cosmetic, zero gameplay advantage, but huge for world personality.

📊 Cobblemon: CobbleStats

Adds better visibility into Pokémon stats and battle-relevant information.
Helpful for team building, progression planning, and competitive prep.

🖼️ Fast Item Frames

Performance-friendly item frames.
Lets us safely use item frames in shops, displays, and museums without server lag.

🛒 Pebble’s Chest Shop

This is the big one.
Enables true player-run chest shops tied into the server economy.
This officially opens the door for player cities, market districts, and trade hubs.

🏪 PLAYER-RUN STORES ARE COMING

With Pebble’s Chest Shop, we are formally supporting player-run commerce across the server.

What this means:

Physical storefronts matter
Location and accessibility matter
Cities and gyms will naturally become economic hubs
Builders and decorators now have real value in the economy

This is a foundational step toward a more living, player-driven world.

⚔️ MAJOR PvE NPC BATTLE REVAMP
🏰 Battle Tower Changes

We are removing the Level 50 normalization system entirely.

Instead:

All Battle Tower trainers will now operate at a Level 100 cap
This eliminates the lingering Level 50 bug permanently
Difficulty now comes from team construction, not artificial scaling

While Level 100 might sound easier, it actually:

Forces tighter team building
Limits “cheap” coverage strategies
Requires optimized moves, roles, and synergy

Rewards will remain end-game appropriate, and this aligns better with the server’s long-term vision.

🌱 Better for New Players

This change also means:
New players can battle NPCs without their Pokémon being altered
Trainers now award experience, creating new leveling paths
PvE progression becomes smoother and more intuitive

💰 Trainer Currency Drops

NPC trainers will now drop Cobbledollars.
Common trainers drop modest amounts
Rare trainers drop higher payouts or special bank-sell items (gold ore or Diamonds!)
PvE is now a legitimate money-making path, not just a grind.

🏫 CHAMPIONS ACADEMY (IN DEVELOPMENT)

Looking ahead 👀

Champions Academy is a new PvE training experience aimed at:

New players - Mid-game players & Gym challengers preparing for progression

Key features:

18 monotype training paths, one for each gym type
Teaches how each type battles
Prepares players for gym circuits and championships
Focused on strategy, not just raw power

Gym Leaders will have the option to:
Review NPC team designs
Help shape how challengers are trained
Ensure accuracy and fairness

🗓️ Target launch: Pre-Season 3
