Datapack

Overview

This is the server-side datapack for AureusMC's Cobblemon Lotus server. It covers custom species and their feature assignments, spawn pools, NPCs, loot tables and functions. It lives in the same repo as the resource pack and is packaged as its own zip.

The problem

The datapack adds spawns, custom NPCs and custom species to AureusMC.

What I did

• Wrote custom species files, species additions and Mega and move-set fixes (species_additions/mega_fixes, champions_moves).
• Set up species features and their assignments, including a Halloween set (Oct 2025) and the negative-variant set that was rebuilt into the AureusCustomPokes zip (Sep 2026).
• Defined the world spawn pools and the NPC definitions.
• Maintained the loot tables and functions in the cobbledloot namespace, plus smaller namespaces for hidden Pokemon, forms and a custom font.
• Rebuilt the AureusCustomPokes datapack zip alongside the resource pack builds.

Stack

• Minecraft datapack JSON for Cobblemon species, spawns and NPCs, with Molang expressions
• Zip packaging and Git

Outcome / impact

• Maintained in the same repo as the resource pack, with the last datapack rebuild on 5 Sep 2026.
• Everything in the pack is live for all players on the server.
