Cobble Towns Unofficial Update Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need Cobblemon installed for this data pack to work?
No, the data pack generates the towns and buildings on its own. However, it's designed to work alongside Cobblemon, so installing both together gives you the full Pokemon experience with wild Pokemon spawning in these towns.
Will these towns generate in my existing world or only in new worlds?
Towns generate as you explore new chunks, so they can appear in existing worlds. However, creating a new world is recommended to ensure the data pack integrates properly with your terrain generation from the start.
Do I have to use Terralith world generator or can I use the default world?
The data pack works with any world generator, but Terralith is recommended because it creates more varied and interesting terrain that complements the Pokemon towns. You can use the default generator, but results may look less polished.
How do I find a specific town like Pallet Town or Cherrygrove City?
Towns spawn randomly as you explore, so you'll need to travel and search. Use the guide 'Finding and Locating Pokemon Towns in Your World' for strategies like checking biomes associated with each region or using coordinates to map your exploration.
What kind of loot is in the town chests and is it worth collecting?
Chests contain working loot items themed to Pokemon towns, like crafting materials and useful supplies. The items are functional for survival mode, making early-game gathering easier, though they're not rare or overpowered.
Can I disable certain towns or regions from generating?
This depends on the data pack version—check your mod's configuration files or settings menu. Some versions allow selective town generation, while others generate all towns; consult the mod documentation for your specific version.
Why aren't the towns generating in my world?
Make sure the data pack is enabled in your world settings and that you're exploring new chunks where generation can occur. If towns still don't appear, verify the data pack is compatible with your Minecraft version and that it's loaded before other conflicting data packs.
Do these towns have NPCs or just buildings?
The data pack generates the town structures and buildings themselves. NPCs depend on whether you have Cobblemon or other mods installed that add them—the towns provide the architecture and loot, but not villagers by default.
Will this data pack cause lag or performance issues?
The data pack itself is lightweight, but combining it with Cobblemon, Terralith, and other mods can impact performance depending on your hardware. Start with these three together and monitor your frame rate; disable or reduce render distance if needed.
Can I use this data pack with other structure or village mods?
It may conflict with mods that heavily modify village generation or terrain. Test compatibility by enabling both and exploring; if towns don't generate or look broken, one mod is likely interfering and you'll need to choose between them.
