Frequently asked questions

Why aren't Pokémon spawning in the caves I'm exploring?
Make sure the data pack is properly loaded in your world—check your datapacks folder and confirm it appears in the `/datapack list` command. Also verify you're in the correct biome; each cave system has specific spawn tables, so Primordial Caves won't have Magnetic Cave spawns.
What's the difference between the cave biomes and which one should I explore first?
Each biome has a themed roster: Primordial Caves have fossils and starters, Magnetic Caves have steel types, Candy Cavity has food-themed Pokémon, Toxic Caves have poison types, Forlorn Hollows have ghosts, and Abyssal Chasm has water types. Start with whichever biome is closest to your base or matches the team you want to build.
How do I find legendary and paradox Pokémon?
Legendary and paradox spawns are rare encounters distributed across multiple biomes—Magnetic Caves have a higher chance for paradox types. You'll need to spend significant time exploring and battling spawns in each biome to encounter them.
Do I need to do anything with the unmodeled folder?
The unmodeled folder contains Pokémon that don't have custom models yet. When Cobblemon updates add new models, move those files out of the unmodeled folder so the Pokémon can spawn with proper visuals.
