SnackStay

Keeps Pokémon that spawn from a Poké Snack from despawning.

Cobblemon normally despawns wild Pokémon when you leave the area. SnackStay listens for snack (and optional fishing / natural) spawns, applies your rules, then marks matching Pokémon so they stay in the world.

Features

• Lock Pokémon that bite a Poké Snack
• Optional support for fishing and natural spawns
• Filter by:
  • Spawn bucket (rare, ultra-rare, …)
  • Species labels (legendary, mythical, ultra_beast, paradox, …)
  • Shinies
  • Hidden ability
  • Minimum perfect IVs / IV total
  • Include / exclude species lists
• One toggle to persist every snack spawn
• NBT tag + re-apply on chunk load so the lock survives reloads
• Optional nearby-player notification when a Pokémon is locked
• Simple in-game commands

Commands

Command	Permission	Description
/snackstay reload	OP level 2	Reload config/snackstay.json
/snackstay persist	OP level 2	Force-lock the nearest wild Pokémon
/snackstay why	Anyone	Explain why the nearest Pokémon would stay or despawn
/snackstay status	Anyone	Show current filter settings

Config

On first launch the mod writes config/snackstay.json.

Default behaviour:

• Persist snack-spawned Pokémon that are rare or ultra-rare
• Or have labels legendary / mythical / ultra_beast / paradox
• Or are shiny

Set "persistAllSnackSpawns": true if you want every snack spawn to stay.

Notes

• Server-side (works in singleplayer too)
• Does not change spawn rates - only prevents matching Pokémon from despawning
• Bucket detection uses Cobblemon’s SpawnBucket name at spawn time
