Why aren't any towns spawning in my world?
Because this is a data pack rather than a standard mod, leaving it in your main mods folder usually won't activate it. Make sure you move it to the active column in the Data Packs menu when creating a world, or check if it is running with the `/datapack list` command.
Can I add Cobblemon City Towns to an existing world?
Yes, you can add it to an existing save's datapacks folder and run `/reload` or reopen the world. Keep in mind that settlements will only generate in brand-new chunks you have never explored before.
Do I still need the two older structure packs this was made from?
No, you should remove the older packs if you still have them. This data pack merges all the buildings from both into a single updated file, and running them together can cause broken spawns or duplicate structures.
How can I find a town without wandering around forever?
In normal survival, you will stumble across them naturally as you travel through unexplored areas hunting for creatures. If you have cheats enabled, you can type `/locate structure` and check the autocomplete list to get coordinates to the nearest settlement.
Do these towns work without the Cobblemon mod?
No, these settlements are built specifically for Cobblemon worlds. Running the data pack without Cobblemon will result in missing blocks or structures failing to place properly.
Did this pack remodel or change how the original buildings look?
No, the original building designs and layouts are kept intact without visual changes. The pack only fixes how the structures spawn so those classic settlements generate properly again.
What can I actually do in the towns once I find one?
They give you safe places to rest, explore, and regroup during long creature-hunting trips. You can use the buildings as temporary bases to sleep through the night, set your spawn point, and sort your gear before heading back into the wild.
Do all players need this data pack to play on a multiplayer server?
Only the server needs the data pack inside its world folder to handle town generation. Friends joining the server do not need the data pack on their own computers, provided everyone already has Cobblemon running.
Will this cause lag or break world generation in a big modpack?
It is lightweight and runs smoothly alongside other additions in large modpacks. Since it uses vanilla structure generation, you just need to explore wide areas if your modpack also adds lots of other custom structures competing for space.
Why did towns show up in my first save, but not in the new world I just made?
Minecraft enables data packs individually for each save rather than across your whole game. Unless your modpack uses a global data pack loader, you must enable Cobblemon City Towns in the Data Packs menu every time you start a new world.
