Description

📖 Introduction

Do you think it should be a little bit more challenging to catch new Pokémon?

Fight First makes it so that you have to fight Pokémon until their HP is low enough before you can catch them!

✨ Features

🥊 Fight First: Wild Pokémon' HP must be below a threshold specified in the config before it can be caught - or even battled!

📄 Customizable Config: Set both the HP thresholds as well as an optional bonus catch rate yourself! You can even change the messages the mod sends!

✅ Server-side Only: No need for clients to install anything!

⚙️ Installation

  1. Install Cobblemon and any dependencies.

  2. Drop the FightFirst.jar into your /mods folder.

  3. Start the game or server to generate the config file.

  4. Edit /config/fightfirst.json to customize your settings.

Please note that the Fabric version of this mod requires fabric-language-kotlin!
