🧩 World Creation & Config¶
Everything is decided when you create the world — a dedicated ROUTES tab sits next to GAME / WORLD / MORE on the create-world screen. Outside world creation there's a global config screen for defaults.
Looking for the NUZLOCKE tab?
The Nuzlocke ruleset, its starter options and the Soul Link toggles belong to Cobblemon Nuzlocke & Soul Link. That tab currently ships inside Routes, but it is documented in that mod's section.
ROUTES tab¶
Customise dynamic route generation for the world:
| Option | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Generate routes | on | master switch |
| Road surface | Random (per route) | each route picks its own material, or fix one for every road |
| Road lamp posts | Random | Random / On / Off — Random decides per route |
| Tunnel lighting | Random | Random keeps some tunnels as dark caves |
| Underwater lighting | Random | sea lanterns along aquatic crossings |
| Routes per city | 2 | 1–5 roads out of each city |
| Ring roads | on | keep closing loops between nearby towns — loops enclose named areas |
| Gyms next to cities | on | each discovered city gets a gym beside it (needs a gym pack) |
| Cities include | Villages + BCA Villages | 16-entry checklist: fossils, ruins, outposts, pyramids… |
| Connect all structures | off | also connect non-city surface structures |
| Route trainers | on | trainers along finished roads |
| Trainer density | Medium | Low / Medium / High / Brutal — count scales with route length |
| Water crossings | Aquatic channel (always) | open channel + paved seabed underneath |
Route-trainer options (sight range, challenge delay, density, skirmishes) live under their own Route Trainers heading. The map tint intensity (City / Route / Area, 0–100 %) is not a world-creation choice — adjust it live from the sliders on Xaero's world map or in the config file.
Saved per world
Choices made in these tabs are stored per world and only applied to a brand-new world — loading an existing world never gets its rules clobbered. Picking Hardcore at world creation auto-enables the full Nuzlocke rule set.
Global defaults¶
The global defaults live in config/routes.json (English & Spanish labels) and are used
when a world wasn't configured through the tabs. The map-paint intensity also has live sliders on
Xaero's world map.
Commands¶
The root is /routes (the old /cobblemonroutes … still works everywhere). The full manual — every
command, argument, permission and behaviour — lives on the Commands page.
