# Fossils Minus \u2604\ufe0f\u2620\ufe0f \u2013 Controlled Fossil Restoration for Cobblemon <\/p>\n
Fossils Minus is a modular datapack + resource pack suite that restricts Cobblemon Fossils Plus \u2728\ud83e\udd96’s special fossil restoration mechanic to species already supported for revival by the restoration machine. <\/p>\n
# \u2734\ufe0f About this datapack <\/p>\n
FossilsPlus normally allows its special fossils (Shiny, HA, IV, Perfect) to generate any Pok\u00e9mon species present in the game, including stage 1 and 2 Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n
Fossils Minus restricts those modifiers so they only work when combined with valid fossil ingredients for thematic consistency. All supported recipes give stage 0 Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n
## \u2795 What this pack adds<\/p>\n
This project adds over 100 targeted fossil restoration recipes (104\u2013105, depending on ATM x MSD version) while preserving proper restoration tank visuals. It features;<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udfaf Support for all base fossil Pok\u00e9mon found in Cobblemon<\/p>\n
\ud83e\uddec Fully compatible with Complete Galar Fossilmon (Note; uses the new version that replaces Dracodacentro with Dracocerato<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udca5 Compatible with ATM x MSD’s legendary recipes<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udfdb Optionally compatible with Legendary Monuments’ Tuft of Mew Hair<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udcda Compatible with Lost Lore’s clone species<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc41 Visually seamless with correct fetus display models where supported<\/p>\n
## \ud83c\udf81 Included Modifier Types<\/p>\n
For every supported fossil species, the following variants are added:<\/p>\n
\u2728 Shiny Fossil<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf1f Hidden Ability Fossil<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udcc8 Perfect IV Fossil<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udc8e Perfect Fossil (Shiny + 6\u00d731 IVs)<\/p>\n Though still possible through combining the special fossil with a \ud83d\udeab barrier block \ud83d\udeab<\/p>\n<\/details>\n # \ud83d\udc7e Compatible Pokemon<\/p>\n Over 100 Recipes Added<\/p>\n Depending on which optional packs are enabled, this suite adds special fossil support for:<\/p>\n – Omanyte – Raptorzolt \u26a0\ufe0f If you wish to use Dracodacentro, you’ll have to replace the Dracocerato jsons manually. I may add a version to support this in a future update if enough people request it.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n – Mewtwo – Bulbasaurtwo Each special fossil modifier \u00d7 species combination has its own targeted recipe that can be modified as you please.<\/p>\n Note: This pack does not add any new Pok\u00e9mon, just its restoration recipes; to use an addon pack, you should install the corresponding mod that adds support for that Pok\u00e9mon as well.<\/p>\n ## \ud83e\udda0 Correct Fetus Display Models<\/p>\n Using the included resource packs, the correct Pok\u00e9mon fetus grows in the restoration tank for every supported recipe.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n – Omanyte\u2705 The supported packs do not provide fetus models for the unsupported species. If this changes, I will add their alias support.<\/p>\n ## \ud83d\udccb How to use <\/p>\n Just simply add the desired special fossil ingredient to the existing fossil recipe! For example;<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/details>\n <\/p>\n  <\/p>\n  <\/p>\n  <\/p>\n  ## \u26a0\ufe0f Hidden Ability Notes<\/p>\n Some Pok\u00e9mon do not have hidden abilities defined.<\/p>\n The following species currently, by default, do not have hidden abilities:<\/p>\n – Archen Hidden Ability recipes are still included for these Pok\u00e9mon via:<\/p>\n – fp_ha_archen.json These recipes exist to support custom server-side hidden ability additions and modded ability expansions.<\/p>\n If your server does not use custom hidden abilities, these files can be safely removed.<\/p>\n Removing them will prevent the Hidden Ability Fossil from being used to revive those Pok\u00e9mon, so that nobody wastes a Hidden Ability Fossil unnecessarily.<\/p>\n # \u2699\ufe0f Technical details<\/p>\n This release is structured as modular packs:<\/p>\n ## \ud83d\uddc3\ufe0f Required<\/p>\n – Core Datapack<\/p>\n – Core Fetus Resource Pack<\/p>\n ## \ud83d\udea5 Optional Addons<\/p>\n – Complete Galar Fossilmon<\/p>\n – ATM x MSD (Vanilla version)<\/p>\n – ATM x MSD (LegendaryMonuments version)<\/p>\n – Lost Lore<\/p>\n You can enable only the integrations you use. Using addon packs that add recipes for Pok\u00e9mon not present in your game may crash the game<\/p>\n ### \ud83c\udfef Legendary Monuments Support<\/p>\n An alternate ATM x MSD pack is included, where Mewtwo’s resurrection requires:<\/p>\n – Nether Star<\/p>\n – Tuft of Mew Hair (LegendaryMonuments)<\/p>\n This overrides the Psychic Gem recipe when enabled for both the default recipe, and any fossils plus recipes. This feature was present in previous LM versions of ATM x MSD but has since been removed.<\/p>\n # \ud83d\udda5\ufe0f Installation<\/p>\n Extract the main download.<\/p>\n Place desired datapack zip(s) into:<\/p>\n world\/datapacks\/<\/p>\n Place the desired resource pack zip(s) into:<\/p>\n client resourcepacks folder host as server resource pack<\/p>\n Run:<\/p>\n \/reload<\/p>\n \u26a0\ufe0f Do not unzip the inner zip files.<\/p>\n ## \ud83d\udd27 Advanced: Combining Packs Into One<\/p>\n If you prefer a single unified datapack and\/or resource pack instead of modular zips, you can merge them manually.<\/p>\n ### Combining Datapacks<\/p>\n If you wish to combine these packs into one for cleaner organisation;<\/p>\n Unzip the datapacks you want to combine.<\/p>\n Merge their data\/ folders together.<\/p>\n Keep only one pack.mcmeta at the root.<\/p>\n Re-zip the folder (do not nest folders).<\/p>\n Final structure should look like:<\/p>\n “` \u251c\u2500\u2500 pack.mcmeta<\/p>\n \u2514\u2500\u2500 data\/<\/p>\n \u2514\u2500\u2500 cobblemon\/<\/p>\n \u2514\u2500\u2500 fossils\/ \u26a0\ufe0f Important:<\/p>\n If combining ATM x MSD variants, choose EITHER the Vanilla or LegendaryMonuments version \u2014 not both.<\/p>\n ### Combining Resource Packs<\/p>\n Unzip the resource packs you want to merge.<\/p>\n Merge their assets\/ folders together.<\/p>\n Keep only one pack.mcmeta.<\/p>\n Re-zip the folder.<\/p>\n Final structure:<\/p>\n “` \u251c\u2500\u2500 pack.mcmeta<\/p>\n \u2514\u2500\u2500 assets\/<\/p>\n \u2514\u2500\u2500 cobblemon\/<\/p>\n \u2514\u2500\u2500 bedrock\/ ## \ud83c\udf10 Compatibility<\/p>\n Minecraft 1.21.1<\/p>\n Cobblemon 1.7.3+<\/p>\n Cobblemon FossilsPlus<\/p>\n Optional: Complete Galar Fossilmon V 1.3+<\/p>\n Optional: ATM x MSD<\/p>\n Optional: LegendaryMonuments<\/p>\n Optional: Lost Lore 2.0\/1.8<\/p>\n # \ud83e\udd1e Future Plans # Credits An addon pack for Cobblemon Fossils Plus that restricts the special fossil revival pool to supported Fossil\/Artificial species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":42545,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"cobblemon-fossils-minus","_minecraft_project_id":"4547WcjL","_minecraft_author":"Joshiki","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":327,"_minecraft_follows":2,"_minecraft_client_side":"optional","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"cobblemon-fossils-minus.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":300861,"_minecraft_version_count":3,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T19:41:08.564643Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2026-02-21T07:02:19.599212Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-02-18T19:39:35.389661Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/cobblemon-fossils-minus","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":42545,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T23:43:45+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"4f677485d7348b8393f260c1e167f10f","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[43,84,844,89,6],"mod_loader":[86,9],"minecraft_version":[37],"class_list":["post-42544","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-cursed","mod_category-datapack","mod_category-economy","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-minecraft","mod_loader-datapack","mod_loader-minecraft","minecraft_version-1-21-1"],"yoast_head":"\n\ud83d\udeab Standalone use of special fossils is disabled.<\/summary>\n
