📜 Changelog

Everything updated for Cobblemon 1.8, plus brand-new habitat pages and the PokéSnack tool.

• Full Cobblemon 1.8 data update

  Data update

  Every Pokémon, ability, move, spawn table and drop refreshed against the 1.8 release. New species and forms from 1.8 are searchable everywhere, and version references across the site now say v1.8.

• Habitat pages

  New

  New dedicated habitat section listing every spawn pool, with a detail page per habitat showing which Pokémon appear there and under which conditions.

  New

  The PokéSnack Maker got a full rework with new assets and localized text, so you can plan snacks for every 1.8 species.

  Improved

  Rideable Pokémon guide and descriptions updated with the new 1.8 content, including the Campfire Pot.

  Improved

  Refreshed styling and clearer calls-to-action on the partner landing page.

The server list became a real discovery tool, the homepage got a new look, and the navigation was rebuilt.

  New

  Servers now default to a rich grid layout and can be sorted by popularity or recent activity. Tooltips show server details without leaving the list.

• One-tap server IP copy

  New

  A copy button with confirmation bubble across the site — grab a server IP from the navbar or any server card without digging into the detail page.

• Server language tags

  Improved

  Filter and spot servers by language, with new community servers added to the list.

  The homepage hero was rebuilt as an angled artwork band with the real modpack assets — and every part of it is clickable.

  Shared teams got their own landing page with the same band treatment, making saved and shared teams easier to browse.

  Improved

  The navbar was refactored for responsiveness: better mobile layout, collapsing behaviour, accessibility improvements and a search-help affordance.

  Community

  A dedicated 1.8 preview entry kept you up to date on what was coming before the release landed.

• Discord widget with live data

  Improved

  The community Discord embed now uses Discord's official widget wired to live guild data — member counts are always real.

• Faster, lighter pages

  Performance

  Output file tracing was tuned to shrink serverless bundles, screenshots were converted from 17MB of PNGs to 630KB of WebP, and local env files are excluded from deployments.

• Cookieless analytics & opt-out

  Improved

  Switched to self-hosted, cookieless Umami analytics and updated the privacy policy. A footer control lets you turn analytics off at any time.

Catch Planner, Alpha tools, the TM Explorer and the Species Scanner all landed this month.

  Improved

  Planner data persists between visits, and a hunt heat pause message tells you when spawns are on cooldown.
