====== Combining Spawns in Minecraft Datapacks ======


To avoid conflicts and ensure your spawns are not overwritten, you can combine the spawn configuration files from different datapacks. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this using example data.

==== Step 1: Identify the Spawn Configuration Files ====

First, locate the spawn configuration files in the different datapacks.

**Example Datapack 1:**
  - File location: `ExampleDatapack1\data\cobblemon\spawn_pool_world\rayquaza.json`
  - Content:
    {
        "enabled": "true",
        "neededInstalledMods": [],
        "neededUninstalledMods": [],
        "spawns": [
            {
                "id": "rayquaza-1",
                "pokemon": "rayquaza",
                "presets": [
                    "natural",
                    "wild"
                ],
                "type": "pokemon",
                "context": "grounded",
                "bucket": "ultra-rare",
                "level": "70",
                "weight": 0.01,
                "condition": {
                    "biomes": [
                        "minecraft:stony_peaks"
                    ]
                }
            }
        ]
    }

**Example Datapack 2:**
  - File location: `ExampleDatapack2\data\cobblemon\spawn_pool_world\rayquaza.json`
  - Content:
    {
      "enabled": true,
      "neededInstalledMods": [],
      "neededUninstalledMods": [],
      "spawns": [
        {
          "id": "example2-rayquaza-1",
          "pokemon": "rayquaza",
          "presets": [
            "natural"
          ],
          "type": "pokemon",
          "context": "grounded",
          "bucket": "ultra-rare",
          "level": "50-70",
          "weight": 0.1,
          "condition": {
            "biomes": [
              "example:skylands_autumn",
              "example:skylands_spring",
              "example:skylands_summer",
              "example:skylands_winter",
              "#example:is_jungle",
              "#minecraft:is_jungle"
            ],
            "key_item": "jade_orb"
          }
        },
        {
          "id": "example2-rayquaza-2",
          "pokemon": "rayquaza",
          "presets": [
            "natural"
          ],
          "type": "pokemon",
          "context": "grounded",
          "bucket": "ultra-rare",
          "level": "50-70",
          "weight": 0.1,
          "condition": {
            "biomes": [
              "#example:is_sky",
              "#example:is_highlands",
              "minecraft:end_highlands",
              "#minecraft:is_end",
              "#example:is_end",
              "#example:is_jungle",
              "#minecraft:is_jungle"
            ],
            "key_item": "jade_orb"
          }
        }
      ]
    }

==== Step 2: Combine the Spawn Configurations ====

Combine the configurations into a single file to avoid spawns being overwritten. Here is the combined configuration:

{
  "enabled": true,
  "neededInstalledMods": [],
  "neededUninstalledMods": [],
  "spawns": [
    {
      "id": "example2-rayquaza-1",
      "pokemon": "rayquaza",
      "presets": [
        "natural"
      ],
      "type": "pokemon",
      "context": "grounded",
      "bucket": "ultra-rare",
      "level": "50-70",
      "weight": 0.1,
      "condition": {
        "biomes": [
          "example:skylands_autumn",
          "example:skylands_spring",
          "example:skylands_summer",
          "example:skylands_winter",
          "#example:is_jungle",
          "#minecraft:is_jungle"
        ],
        "key_item": "jade_orb"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "example2-rayquaza-2",
      "pokemon": "rayquaza",
      "presets": [
        "natural"
      ],
      "type": "pokemon",
      "context": "grounded",
      "bucket": "ultra-rare",
      "level": "50-70",
      "weight": 0.1,
      "condition": {
        "biomes": [
          "#example:is_sky",
          "#example:is_highlands",
          "minecraft:end_highlands",
          "#minecraft:is_end",
          "#example:is_end",
          "#example:is_jungle",
          "#minecraft:is_jungle"
        ],
        "key_item": "jade_orb"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "rayquaza-3",
      "pokemon": "rayquaza",
      "presets": [
        "natural",
        "wild"
      ],
      "type": "pokemon",
      "context": "grounded",
      "bucket": "ultra-rare",
      "level": "70",
      "weight": 0.01,
      "condition": {
        "biomes": [
          "minecraft:stony_peaks"
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

==== Step 3: Replace the Original File ====

Delete the original spawn configuration file from Example Datapack 1, as its contents are now included in the combined file.

Place the combined configuration file into the desired directory:

**ExampleDatapack2\data\cobblemon\spawn_pool_world\rayquaza.json**


Your combined spawn configuration is now complete, ensuring no spawns are overwritten.
