How to Increase Shiny Odds from Rustling Spot Encounters

Rustling Spots can trigger Pokémon encounters, and the mod exposes a shiny odds setting so you can make those encounters more likely to be shiny.

Locating the Shiny Odds Setting

Open the mod's config file in your config folder. Find the shiny odds option among the encounter-related settings. This value governs the chance that a Pokémon triggered by a spot is shiny.

Tuning It

Increase the shiny odds value to make shiny encounters more frequent from spots. Save the file and reload the world or restart, depending on your setup. On multiplayer servers, the host's config controls this for everyone, so coordinate if you're playing with others.

Making Shiny Hunting Efficient

• Pair higher shiny odds with a higher spawn rate so more spots appear.
• Increase lifetime so spots don't vanish before you reach them.
• Bias the loot-vs-Pokémon chance toward Pokémon so more spots actually trigger encounters rather than loot.
• Explore actively; spots spawn around moving players, so a steady walking route beats standing still.

Important Reminders

Shiny odds only affect Pokémon outcomes, not loot spots. Since the mod makes no world generation changes, you can adjust these values on existing worlds without risk. Test your settings in a safe area first to confirm the encounter rate feels right before committing to a long hunt.
