Adds a Shiny Exchange Gem that converts owned Pokémon into shiny form in Cobblemon.
ShinyShift introduces a special item for Cobblemon that allows players to interact with Pokémon shiny mechanics in a balanced, progression-focused way, designed for long-term survival and multiplayer servers.
The mod ensures that shiny Pokémon remain rare, meaningful, and valuable, rather than something that can be easily mass-produced early on.
A special gem used to trigger Shiny-related effects for Cobblemon Pokémon.
Designed to be rare, valuable, and mid-to-late-game oriented.
Fully integrated with Cobblemon’s systems
(no commands, no hacks, no cheats).
💎 Shiny Exchange Gem
The Shiny Exchange Gem is used directly on your Cobblemon Pokémon.
❌ If the Pokémon is NOT shiny
→ The Pokémon will be converted into its shiny form
→ The item is consumed
✅ If the Pokémon is ALREADY shiny
→ Nothing happens
→ The item is NOT consumed
✔ Safe to use
✔ Prevents item waste
✔ Works only on your own Pokémon
In version 1.1.x, crafting progression has been reworked to better preserve the value of shiny Pokémon.
The Shiny Exchange Gem now requires late-game resources, including Nether and Ancient City materials.
Used as a crafting ingredient for advanced items such as Master Ball.

An endgame recipe designed to require significant progression and preparation.

The new recipe requires Nether Star, Echo Shard (Ancient City), and other high-tier materials.

Players who prefer the older, easier recipe can download version 1.0.0, which still uses the original Shiny Exchange Gem recipe shown below:

Minecraft: 1.21.1
Cobblemon: 1.7.0+
Mod Version: 1.1.x
Release Type: Stable / Release
This mod started as a learning project and has grown into a fully functional Cobblemon addon.
While ShinyShift is thoroughly tested, there may still be edge cases I haven’t encountered yet.
