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.

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

Example Datapack 1:

1. File location: `ExampleDatapack1\data\cobblemon\spawn_pool_world\rayquaza.json`
2. 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:

1. File location: `ExampleDatapack2\data\cobblemon\spawn_pool_world\rayquaza.json`
2. 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"
        }
      }
    ]
  }

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"
      ]
    }
  }
]

}

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.
