Changes: - World gen - Towns should now not stack on top of eachother and should be MUCH smoother. Some world gen problems may persist, so please report back on problems that you are able to see and find - the lodge now spawns connected to land and does not spawn suspended in the air. - New Structure! - The academy drops into the mod! This is a location that in the future, you will be able to find a library full of all sorts of cobblemon lore and information! - loot table balancing! - Loot tables have been heavily balanced. there are now far fewer items in chests and barrels. In the future if people are still saying that there is too much loot in the different villages, we will then cut down the number of chests per village. We will probably do this anyway as there are way to many chests and barrels in a few of the builds. - Cobbledollars only going forward until we figure out a workaround to intelligently determine how to use one or the other.

This version is compatible with Cobbledollars! 📢 **BCA 3.9.2 is LIVE!** Hello @everyone! It’s time to officially launch **Brocraft Cobblemon Additions v3.9.2**! 🎉 You might be wondering — why the jump from **3.8.1** straight to **3.9.2**? That’s because all intermediate builds were seen and tested by our **Patrons** — what you’re getting today is the most stable, cleaned-up version yet, skipping the buggy in-between builds! --- ### 🧩 What's New in 3.9.2? #### ✅ MOD FORMAT We’ve officially transitioned from a **datapack to a full mod**! No more installation headaches — just drop it into your `mods/` folder and you’re good to go. Updates will be easier from here on out, especially for launcher users. --- #### 🎁 Custom Loot Pools Introduced! The first **four themed loot pools** have been added: - 🥘 `kitchen` - 🛋️ `sitting_room` - 🛏️ `bedroom` - 🪜 `attic` Expect many more to come in future updates, including: - 🔧 Workshop loot pool - 🌿 Gardener’s loot pool *(potential integration with Farmer’s Delight?)* - ⛏️ Toolsmith & Miner loot pools - 🧊 Refrigerator loot *(ice, meats, etc.)* - 🐣 Easter egg loot *(what will it have? where will it be? 👀)* --- ### 🧪 We Need Your Feedback! Balancing these loot pools is a HUGE priority — and your input matters. Please read through the list of notes below and **join the thread attached to this post** to share your own thoughts! These are my dev notes from testing the loot — what do you agree/disagree with? ``` - Lucky Egg is too common in kitchen chests - Kitchen loot needs more *usable* food, and less filler - Random item counts (up to 8) should be added for realism - Loaded Dice & Metal Coat appear too often in sitting room - Remove raw meats, use cooked versions - Add Glowstone Dust & redstone components to attic - Charcoal too common in kitchen; more coal instead - Apples (esp. Applin Apples) appear too often - Bottle o' Enchanting should be common across all loot types - Add upgrade items for Sophisticated Backpacks - Warp Scrolls too common — add more Return Scrolls and Warp Dust instead - Consider integrating Farmer’s Delight for better kitchen loot? - Regular backpacks show up too often — tone down their frequency - Held items (type-specific) show up way too much - Sophisticated backpacks should have their own loot tables - XP Candies might need rarity tuning (especially M/L/XL) - Add more redstone parts to attic (repeaters, pistons, etc.) - Dusk & Quick Balls can be slightly more common - Lanterns should be more prevalent ``` ✅ Let’s shape these loot tables together. I'm watching the thread — I *really* want to polish this system and your insights will directly influence the next patch. --- ### 🎒 Optional Mod Integration! We now include optional loot for: - **Sophisticated Backpacks** - **Traveler’s Backpack** - **Waystones** These mods are **fully optional** — if they aren’t installed, nothing breaks. But if they are, you’ll find items from those mods appearing in loot chests! 🔄 --- ### 🔮 Sneak Peek Countdown Remember that post in **#sneak-peeks**? 🔥 We’re sitting at **51 fire reactions** — once we hit **75**, I’ll post the **first dungeon sneak peek** 👀 Go drop a 🔥 if you haven't yet and help us unlock the next content reveal! --- ## 📝 Changelog: v3.9.2 ### ✨ Major Features - ✅ Full **transition to mod format** (no more datapack installs) - ✅ Added **4 custom loot pools** (kitchen, bedroom, sitting_room, attic) - ✅ Integrated optional loot from: - Sophisticated Backpacks - Traveler’s Backpack - Waystones - ✅ Improved loot detection — no crashes if mods are missing --- Thank you all again for your continued support and feedback. We’ve got a *lot* coming down the pipeline, and I can’t wait to show you what’s next. Let’s make something awesome — together. 💪 — *Strikebyte*
