From Adrian's Mining test (2026-10-31):
- A gated job assigned to a pastured Pokemon that doesn't pass its gate
is taken back at once (BaseManager assignment cleared, Cobblebase's
assignment sync sent, owner told what the Pokemon needs), so it no
longer sticks or shows under Buffs -> Active.
- Mining, Ore Finder and Evolution-item Finder only give the ores and
evolution stones of the pasture's zone: new loot condition
cobblesurvival:in_zone, the pack's versions of the 12 Cobblebase
tables (tools/cobblebase_loot.py), Cobblebase's built-in copies
removed at server start (ore/BaseLoot.kt). Mining adds quartz and the
evolution stones, drops the type gems.
- Mining's loot reaching the chest needs an Item Gatherer in the same
pasture (Cobblebase's design); documented, not changed.
- Self-tests gated_jobs_are_taken_back, base_jobs_dig_their_zones_ores;
docs, balance table, licenses, Phase 5 checklist.

Done and checked: surface and cave-floor ore nodes (companion mod
ore/OreNodes.kt), bigger and rarer underground veins; template with nodes
passed the world check and the island quick check (node self-tests).
Built, not yet tested: catching rules (catch rate falls with the level
gap to the trainer's strongest Pokemon, failed catch enrages, strong wild
Pokemon hunt weaker trainers; catching/, Fight or Flight config), bee
nests emptied when their bee is turned away.
In progress: the Deep Dark no longer fills the deepslate layer (split by
temperature: cold = Deep Dark, hot = basalt deltas, warm = ordinary caves;
world/biomes.json), zone layout regenerated; cave zone types added to
world/zones.json but tools/zone_spawns.py doesn't use them yet; template
not rebuilt for the new caves.

Ore veins: make_world.py loads the island again row by row until
Regenerating Ore Veins has filled every chunk (/cobblesurvival veins
unfilled), cave tiers sit at their biome's depths, small zones get denser
veins, showcase veins are full size. The world report checks surface
tiers against the zone grid, cave tiers within two biome cells of their
cave, and fails on unfilled chunks; the template passes (37,689 chunks).
Drops: tools/drop_audit.py checks every creature drop a recipe or brewing
needs (docs/pokemon-drops.md). Blaze rods, ghast tears, breeze rods,
shulker shells and nether stars now drop from Pokemon through species
additions (self-test drop_additions_apply). The field guide counts vanilla
mobs as absent, applies species additions and reads the veins as sources.
Cobblebase tried (loads, self-tests pass) and left out until Adrian
decides its scope. Phase 4 checklist with the open questions.

A push that started .github/workflows/ci.yml crashed the server (Adrian,
2026-10-30). The smoke test, self-tests and quick check run locally.

- Companion mod (zone/Guardians.kt): each zone's guardian stands at the
zone's sample point, appears when a player is within 96 blocks, stays
within 24 blocks, is uncatchable and half again as big. Beating it in a
battle gives every player in the battle its drops; it returns after 5
hours of game time (Adrian: fixed spots, 5 hours). State lives in the
world save; /cobblesurvival guardians lists it.
- tools/zone_spawns.py writes data/cobblesurvival/guardians/<zone>.json:
the strongest walking (or swimming) Pokemon of the zone at band top + 5,
with the drops from world/zones.json. Boss drops follow Adrian's rule:
Icy Rocks before Sunscorch, Heat Rocks before Frostpeak.
- Goat Fur and Hoglin Hide recipes make 8 per rock, so one guardian's 3
rocks pay for one full insulating set.
- Self-test guardian_appears_and_returns; hazard tests cleaned up; the
zone generator reads Cobblemon's own entries from the field guide's
hidden_spawns.

Free NeoForge 1.21.1 modpack on Cobblemon 1.8.4 built with packwiz, plus
the Kotlin companion mod (cobblesurvival) and its built-in data pack.
- Phase 0: packwiz pack with Modrinth/CurseForge cross-links, build and
export tooling, Prism instance sync, test server with smoke checks.
- Phase 1: Poke Ball shaped island (WorldGen Editor preset, seed isle-26),
Adrian's biome list, no natural ore, structures without ore or vanilla
mobs, no Nether portals, world template builder and world report.
- Phase 2: permadeath (CobbleHardcoreMon plus the companion mod's gap
fixes), Revival Charm, expensive Healing Machine, Lootr refreshing
loot, in-game self-tests on Minecraft's GameTest framework.
- Phase 3 so far: 14 zones with their own spawn pools and level bands
(tools/zone_layout.py, tools/zone_spawns.py, "zone" spawn condition),
Cold Sweat heat and cold as gates with boss-drop insulation recipes,
spawn survey and hazard self-tests in tools/quick_check.py.
