Cobblemon Mega Showdown X Mega Stone Recipes Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using this data pack?
First, make sure Cobblemon: Mega Showdown is installed. Then load this data pack into your world—it will automatically enable the new crafting recipes and change how Mega Stones drop. You can start gathering unwanted Mega Stones right away to convert them.
What's the difference between a Raw Mega Stone and a regular Mega Stone?
A Raw Mega Stone is a neutral crafting ingredient created by combining Mega Stones you don't need. You then combine the Raw Mega Stone with specific dyes in a crafting grid to create the exact Mega Stone you want.
How do I craft the Mega Stone I actually need?
Place a Raw Mega Stone in your crafting grid with the corresponding color of dye for the Mega Stone you want. Each Mega Stone type requires a different dye color, so check the recipe guide to match them correctly.
Why aren't my Mega Stone Crystals dropping Raw Mega Stones anymore?
This data pack intentionally prevents automatic Raw Mega Stone drops from crystals so you have more control over your farming. You now craft Raw Mega Stones manually from unwanted Mega Stones instead.
Can I smelt Meteorite Evo Stone Ore in a regular Furnace?
Yes, you can use either a regular Furnace or a Blast Furnace. The Blast Furnace will process the ore faster, so use it if you're doing large-scale farming.
What should I do with Mega Stones that don't match my team?
Gather them and combine them together to create a Raw Mega Stone, then use dyes to craft the Mega Stone you actually need. This prevents wasting stones and gives you full control over your inventory.
Does this data pack work with other Cobblemon mods?
This data pack is designed specifically for Cobblemon: Mega Showdown. Compatibility with other Cobblemon add-ons depends on whether they modify the same recipes or item drops—check the mod descriptions if you're using multiple packs.
Can I disable the Raw Mega Stone drop prevention if I want the old behavior?
You would need to remove or modify the data pack, as it's designed as a complete replacement for the default drop system. If you want to revert, uninstall the data pack from your world.
How many Mega Stones do I need to craft one Raw Mega Stone?
Check the recipe guide in the mod documentation for the exact number, as it may vary depending on the specific stones you're combining.
Is there a way to see all the dye-to-Mega Stone combinations?
The recipe guide included with this data pack shows all the dye colors and which Mega Stone each one creates. You can also hover over recipes in your crafting menu to see the required dye.
