Version 1.2.0-beta

This release brings SnackStay onto Cobblemon 1.8, hardens how snack spawns are locked, and gives you control over lock notifications.

What's new

Cobblemon 1.8

• Targets Cobblemon 1.8.0 and up (Minecraft 1.21.1)
• Spawn buckets are handled as strings (Cobblemon removed the old SpawnBucket type)
• Compatible with the 1.8 snack / fishing / wild spawn pipeline

Alpha Pokémon

• New config option: persistAlphas (default true)
• Alphas that match your rules are locked so they do not despawn
• /snackstay why reports alpha=true/false

Notifications you can style

• Choose where the lock message appears: actionbar, chat, both, or none
• Custom format string with placeholders:
  • {species} · {reasons}
• Supports familiar & formatting codes (colors, bold, italic, underline, reset, and so on)

Example default: &aSnackStay locked &f{species} &7({reasons})

Filters (unchanged, still fully configurable)

• Spawn buckets (rare, ultra-rare, …)
• Species labels (legendary, mythical, ultra_beast, paradox, …)
• Shinies
• Hidden ability
• Min perfect IVs / min IV total
• Species include / exclude lists
• Optional fishing and natural wild matching

Persistence

• Locks via setPersistenceRequired plus NBT (SnackStayLocked, bucket, source)
• Re-applies on chunk load when enabled
• Bucket is stored at lock time so /snackstay why can explain the decision later

Commands

• /snackstay reload — reload config (op level 2)
• /snackstay why — nearest Pokémon: stay/despawn reasons, labels, shiny, alpha, IVs, NBT
• /snackstay status — quick summary of active settings
• /snackstay persist — force-lock nearest wild Pokémon (op level 2)

Config

• File: config/snackstay.json
• New keys for this beta:
  • persistAlphas
  • notifyMode
  • notifyFormat
  • notifyRadius
