Commands & Config¶

Everything lives under one command: /picnic.

/picnic                                           # print every setting (anyone)
/picnic config                                    # the same listing, for an operator
/picnic config <feature>                          # one feature's settings (operator)
/picnic config <feature> <setting> <value>        # change one (operator)
/picnic config <feature> <setting> default        # put it back to its default (operator)
/picnic config <feature> reset                    # put the whole feature back (operator)
/picnic stats                                     # picnic statistics (anyone)
/picnic stats player|dimension|species <value>    # one slice of them (anyone)
/picnic stats shiny                               # just the shinies (anyone)
/picnic stats reset                               # clear the aggregates (operator)
/picnic reload                                    # re-read the config file from disk (operator)
/picnic reset                                     # restore every default (operator)

default works on every setting — you never have to look up what the shipped value was.

`/picnic config` — the settings¶

Reading them is open to everyone through /picnic: knowing the shiny-aura multiplier and the re-roll cooldown you're playing under is part of playing. Changing anything needs operator rank.

Every feature has an enabled switch, so a server can keep the picnic and drop any part of it.

/picnic config shinyaura multiplier 3             # a full table triples shiny odds
/picnic config shinyaura multiplier default       # back to ×2
/picnic config reroll enabled false               # switch the spawn re-roll off entirely
/picnic config reroll spawncap expert 16          # per-tier settings take the tier in the middle
/picnic config reroll protectshiny expert true    # per-rung settings take the rung
/picnic config wash reset                         # every washing setting back to its default

Tiers are basic, advanced, expert, diving, hot and strange. Rungs are basic, advanced and expert; the Diving, Hot and Strange tables count as expert.

Features and their settings¶

Feature	Setting	Value	What it does
`reroll`	`enabled`	true/false	The spawn re-roll itself. Default on.
	`cooldown`	0–3600	Seconds between re-rolls, per table and per player. Default 5. 0 disables.
	`spawncap <tier>`	int	Max Pokémon per re-roll for that tier.
	`fuelcost <tier>`	int	Bread per re-roll for that tier (7 Basic, 5 Advanced, 3 above). `0` makes it free.
	`flyinglift`	0–64	How high re-rolled fliers are lifted off the ground (default `12`, `0` grounds them). Never changes which Pokémon spawn.
	`protectshiny <rung>`	true/false	The re-roll keeps shiny wild Pokémon instead of despawning them. Default off.
	`protectlegendary <rung>`	true/false	Keeps legendary wild Pokémon. Default off.
	`protectmythical <rung>`	true/false	Keeps mythical wild Pokémon. Default off.
	`protectultrabeast <rung>`	true/false	Keeps Ultra Beast wild Pokémon. Default off.
`snackbias`	`enabled`	true/false	A re-roll borrows the spawn influences of a nearby seasoned poke-snack. Default off.
`tmteach`	`enabled`	true/false	Party TM teaching on a re-roll. Default on.
	`chance`	0..1	Chance per re-roll. Default 0.05.
`shinyaura`	`enabled`	true/false	The Shiny Aura. Default on.
	`multiplier`	1–100	How many times better your shiny odds get at a full table. Default 2 (double).
`deploy`	`enabled`	true/false	Sitting down sends out your party. Default on.
	`mindistance`	0–32	Closest a party member lands, in blocks. Default 4.
	`maxdistance`	0–32	Furthest a party member lands. Default 7. Each Pokémon rolls its own distance in the band, and a max below the min is raised to it.
`peaceful`	`enabled`	true/false	While someone is seated, hostile mobs flee the table. Default on.
	`radius`	0–128	How far that reaches, in blocks. Default 30.
`wash`	`enabled`	true/false	Washing, from the wheel or with a Poke-sponge. Default on.
	`friendship`	int	Friendship gained from a wash.
	`cooldown`	seconds	Wait between washes, per Pokémon. Default 3.
	`requirestable`	true/false	Need a nearby table to wash. Off also shows the option on the wheel everywhere.
`play`	`enabled`	true/false	Playing fetch, from the wheel or with a thrown Fetchball. Default on.
	`friendship`	int	Friendship gained from a game.
	`breakchance`	0..1	Chance a slime ball splatters. A Fetchball ignores this.
	`cooldown`	seconds	Wait between games, per Pokémon. Default 3.
	`requirestable`	true/false	Need a nearby table to play. Off also shows the option on the wheel everywhere.
`battleseeker`	`enabled`	true/false	The Battle Seeker. Off locks its slot and summons nobody; chests stop holding one after the next `/reload`. Default on.
	`matchlevel`	true/false	Scale summoned trainers to your party's level.
	`levelgap`	int	Level offset for summoned trainers.
`hazards`	`enabled`	true/false	What a table carries between dimensions — burning, scorching, flooding and drifting. Off, every table is plain furniture. Default on.
`table`	`light`	0–15	Light level emitted by the table. Re-place a table to relight it.
	`actiondistance`	number	How close a table has to be for the table-gated actions.

The four protect… settings are opt-in and granular: turn on only the rarities you want the re-roll to spare, on only the rungs you want. peaceful is on by default: sit at a table and hostile mobs within radius blocks lose their target and run away, like a creeper fleeing a cat.

`/picnic stats`¶

Available to everyone. Shows a summary of picnic activity:

Total re-rolls, Pokémon spawned / despawned
Shinies found (with ratio), legendaries / mythicals
Snacks consumed, distinct species
Most common and rarest species

/picnic stats          # show the summary
/picnic stats reset    # (operator) clear the aggregates

Filters¶

Ask for one slice instead of the lot. Each filter reports its own re-roll count, what came out, and the shiny rate for that slice alone — and for shinies, the species, level and coordinates of each one. All of them are open to everyone.

/picnic stats player <name>       # everything one trainer's re-rolls produced
/picnic stats dimension <id>      # e.g. minecraft:the_nether
/picnic stats species <name>      # every appearance of one species
/picnic stats shiny               # just the shinies, and where they turned up

species tab-completes from what the log has actually seen. player and dimension are free text, so you can ask about someone who's offline or a dimension that isn't loaded right now.

Statistics persist in config/cobblemon_picnic_stats.json (aggregates) and config/cobblemon_picnic_events.jsonl (a granular per-re-roll log). The summary reads the aggregates; the filters replay the log, which is the only place the per-re-roll detail survives — so a filter can look back further than the last stats reset.

The settings screen¶

With Cloth Config installed, the same values are editable in a GUI — on Fabric via Mod Menu → Cobblemon Picnic → Settings, on NeoForge via the Config button in the mods list.

⚠️ On a server that screen only edits your own game's file, and says so at the top. Use /picnic config to change the settings everyone plays under.

The config file¶

config/cobblemon_picnic.json          # settings
config/cobblemon_picnic_stats.json    # statistics aggregates
config/cobblemon_picnic_events.jsonl  # granular per-re-roll log

Edit the first by hand if you like, then apply it with /picnic reload — no restart needed. If the file can't be read, /picnic reload says why and changes nothing, and the mod leaves the file alone until it is fixed: settings changed in the meantime last until the server stops.

Defaults¶

Tier	Spawn cap	Fuel/re-roll	Radius	Seats
Basic	5	7	32	2
Advanced	8	5	48	3
Expert	12	3	64	4
Diving	12	3	64	4
Hot	12	3	64	4
Strange	12	3	64	4

Seat counts are fixed per tier and not configurable. Elsewhere: re-roll cooldown 5 s (per-table and per-player), party TM cross-teach 5%, full-table shiny multiplier ×2, wash and play cooldowns 3 s each (per Pokémon), party deploy 4–7 blocks.

Picnic without the spawn manipulation¶

/picnic config reroll enabled false switches the re-roll off entirely — right-clicking a table then spawns and despawns nothing, and costs no bread. Seats, the Shiny Aura, baskets, the Battle Seeker and the care interactions all keep working.
