Hidden Mons Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need Cobblemon installed to use Hidden Mons?
Yes, Hidden Mons Data Pack is an add-on for Cobblemon and requires it to function. Make sure Cobblemon is installed and working before adding Hidden Mons to your world.
Why aren't the new monsters spawning in my world?
Check that you're exploring the correct biomes listed in the spawn guide—for example, Kartana only appears in Bamboo Jungles, and Snom requires freezing biomes at night. Also verify the time of day, as many creatures are nocturnal and won't appear during daylight.
How do I find Roaring Moon?
Roaring Moon is an ultra-rare spawn that only appears in mountain biomes at night and above a certain altitude. You'll need to explore high-elevation mountain areas after dark and be prepared for a long search due to its rarity.
Can I catch these new monsters with regular Poké Balls?
Yes, you use the same Cobblemon catching mechanics and items you normally would—just find the new creatures in their designated biomes and catch them as usual.
What's the deal with Minior having different colors?
Minior spawns in different color variants depending on its location, such as red in the Nether and blue near water; however, this feature is currently disabled in the present version and may be re-enabled in future updates.
Where do I find ghost-type monsters?
Ghost types like Sinistea and Polteageist haunt dark forests, while Shuppet and Banette hide in the Deep Dark or emerge on the surface at night. Galarian Yamask spawns deep underground near stone bricks and ruins.
Do these monsters spawn in old chunks or only new ones?
Data packs typically generate new creatures in newly generated terrain, so you may need to explore chunks that were generated after installing Hidden Mons to find spawns.
Can I find Togepi, Togetic, and Togekiss together?
Yes, all three spawn in forests and magical biomes like Cherry Groves, often appearing around flowers, so you can encounter the full evolution line in the same areas.
How high do I need to go to find Swablu and Altaria?
These creatures spawn in mountains above Y=100, so you need to climb to high elevations to encounter them flying around the peaks.
Is this mod performance-heavy?
Since Hidden Mons adds custom animations and new spawns, performance impact depends on your system and how many creatures are loaded at once; monitor your frame rate if you experience slowdowns in heavily populated areas.
