Cobblemon Economy

Cobblemon Economy is the all-in-one economy core for Cobblemon servers. It gives you modern NPC shops, dual currencies, a full Quest NPC progression layer, and a compatibility bridge so you can keep mod compatibility while still using CobEco as your main economy.

Why Cobblemon Economy

• One economy core for your server instead of fragmented balances.
• Bridge support for CobbleDollars and Impactor, so many existing economy-dependent mods keep working.
• Main-currency switch with per-world config (cobeco, cobbledollars, impactor).
• PvE progression rewards (capture, battle, raid dens, battle tower) plus rotating quest boards.
• Production-friendly: JSON config, hot reload tools, SQLite persistence.

Quest NPC System (0.0.16)

• One NPC entity, two roles: SHOP or QUEST (no duplicate entity type).
• Per-world quest files with full data-driven behavior:
  • quests.json: objectives, rewards, repeatability, cooldowns, prerequisites.
  • quest_npcs.json: NPC pool, max active quests, visible board size, rotation strategy.
• Quest objective coverage includes:
  • Capture filters (species, type, ball, dimension/dimensions, shiny, labels).
  • Progression events (battle_win, raid_win, tower_win, fossil_revive).
• Reward model supports:
  • Currency rewards (pokedollars, pco) and optional command rewards per quest.
  • Prerequisite chains, repeat policies, time limits, and cooldown lockouts.
• Custom quest board UX:
  • Up to 4 missions visible by default (configurable per NPC).
  • Detailed objective text (species/type/ball/location/shiny/labels).
  • Time remaining, cooldown remaining, and clear action states.
• Rotation system:
  • Shared board for all players or per-player board (configurable via sharedRotation).
  • Rotation mode is exactly MIDNIGHT or HOURS (rotationMode).
  • MIDNIGHT: rotates on next local server midnight.
  • HOURS: rotates every rotationHours block (minimum 1).
  • Cancelled/expired quests can be blocked until next rotation.

How To Set A Quest NPC (Summon + Bind)

• Spawn a shopkeeper NPC:
  • Use the spawn egg cobblemon-economy:shopkeeper_spawn_egg, or
  • Run /summon cobblemon-economy:shopkeeper.
• Check available quest NPC profiles with /eco questnpc list.
• Get a Quest NPC setter item with /eco questnpc get <id>.
• Right-click the spawned shopkeeper with that setter to switch it to QUEST role and bind questNpcId.
• Optional: switch the same NPC back to a normal shop with /eco shop get <shopId> then right-click.

Minimal quest_npcs.json Example

{
  "quest_npcs": {
    "safari_guide": {
      "displayName": "Safari Guide",
      "skin": "shopkeeper",
      "maxActive": 2,
      "visibleQuests": 4,
      "sharedRotation": true,
      "rotationMode": "MIDNIGHT",
      "rotationHours": 24,
      "questPool": ["safari_water_10", "safari_bug_12"]
    }
  }
}

Configuration Warning

• Configuration support is limited.
• No hand-holding for custom config troubleshooting: test changes incrementally on a staging world/server.
• If a custom setup fails, validate JSON syntax, quest IDs, npc IDs, and objective keys first.

Installation

1. Put cobblemon-economy-0.0.16.jar in mods/.
2. Start the server once.
3. Edit world/config/cobblemon-economy/config.json.
4. Restart server (or /eco reload for config-only edits).

File Layout (Per World)

• world/config/cobblemon-economy/config.json
• world/config/cobblemon-economy/shops.json
• world/config/cobblemon-economy/quests.json
• world/config/cobblemon-economy/quest_npcs.json
• world/config/cobblemon-economy/milestone.json
• world/config/cobblemon-economy/economy.db
• world/config/cobblemon-economy/quests.db
• world/config/cobblemon-economy/skins/*.png

main_currency is also per-world because it lives in this world config folder.

How Each Config Works

• config.json
  • Global economy behavior (currencies, rewards, multipliers, profiling).
  • Does not need to contain shops anymore.
• shops.json
  • All shop definitions (title, currency, items, limits, linked shops, etc.).
  • Backward compatibility: if this file is missing, the mod loads legacy config.json.shops and auto-creates shops.json.
• quests.json
  • Quest definitions and objectives.
  • Supports capture filters (species, type, ball, dimension or dimensions, shiny, labels).
  • Supports event objectives: battle_win, raid_win, tower_win, fossil_revive.
  • Per-quest control: repeatable, repeatPolicy, cooldownMinutes, timeLimitMinutes, requiresCompleted.
  • Supports rewards (pokedollars, pco, optional command list).
• quest_npcs.json
  • Quest NPC definitions (display name, skin, dialogue lines, quest pool, max active quests).
  • Board/rotation control: visibleQuests, sharedRotation, rotationMode (MIDNIGHT/HOURS), rotationHours.
  • One NPC can offer a list of multiple quests via questPool.
• milestone.json
  • Unique-capture milestone rewards.

Quick Start (5 Minutes)

1. Start server once to generate defaults.
2. Open config.json and set:

{
  "main_currency": "cobeco"
}

3. Add one test item to any shop.
4. Join server and run /bal.
5. Buy/sell to confirm economy flow.

Commands

Player

• /bal or /balance
• /pco
• /pay <player> <amount>

Admin

• /eco reload
• /eco shop list
• /eco shop get <id>
• /eco quest list
• /eco questnpc list
• /eco questnpc get <id>
• /eco skin <name>
• /eco item
• /balance <player> <add|remove|set> <amount>
• /pco <player> <add|remove|set> <amount>

Main Currency Modes

Configure in config.json:

{
  "main_currency": "cobeco"
}

Valid values:

• cobeco (default)
• cobbledollars
• impactor

Behavior:

• cobeco: CobEco DB is authoritative; balances are mirrored to CobbleDollars and Impactor when present, and bridge hooks keep external transactions synced back into CobEco.
• cobbledollars: CobEco balance operations route to CobbleDollars.
• impactor: CobEco balance operations route to Impactor primary currency.

In practice: you can choose CobEco as your main economy and still keep broad compatibility with mods that expect CobbleDollars/Impactor-style flows.

Rewards

Main reward keys:

• battleVictoryReward
• raidDenVictoryReward
• captureReward
• newDiscoveryReward
• battleVictoryPcoReward
• battleTowerCompletionPcoBonus

Multipliers:

• shinyMultiplier
• radiantMultiplier
• legendaryMultiplier
• paradoxMultiplier

Milestones

File: world/config/cobblemon-economy/milestone.json

Example:

{ "10": 300, "50": 700, "100": 1500, "200": 3000 }

Shop Item Types

Standard item

{ "id": "minecraft:diamond", "name": "Diamond", "price": 1000 }

Component item

{
  "id": "academy:booster_pack",
  "name": "Booster Pack",
  "price": 200,
  "components": {
    "academy:booster_pack": "\"base\""
  }
}

Command item

{
  "type": "command",
  "command": "crate key give vote 1 %player%",

Integrations

• CobbleDollars (bridge + conversion, transaction sync support)
• Impactor (bridge + conversion, transaction sync support)
• Cobblemon Raid Dens (raid win rewards)
• Cobblemon Battle Tower (PCO rewards on tower wins + completion bonus)
• Star Academy (optional)
• Placeholder API (optional)
• YAWP (optional)

Placeholder API

Recommended namespace: cobeco

• cobeco:balance
• cobeco:balance_symbol
• cobeco:pco
• cobeco:pco_symbol

Troubleshooting

• Command missing after update: restart server fully (not only /eco reload).
• Economy bridge not active: verify target mod is loaded and version-compatible.
• Wrong backend behavior: check main_currency in world config.
• Existing world does not show new default quest pools: your quests.json / quest_npcs.json already exists; merge manually or regenerate after backup.
