## What are PokeSnacks?

**A PokeSnack is a placeable block that acts as a lure for Pokemon**. Once placed, it will periodically attempt to spawn Pokemon nearby.

* Bites: Each snack can be bitten 9 times.
* Consumption: When a Pokemon spawns due to the snack, it will travel to the snack and take a bite, until fully consumed.
* Customisation: By using different ingridients during the cooking process, you can influence the type, rarity and shiny rate of the Pokemon that appear.

## How to Craft PokeSnacks

PokeSnacks are **not** made in a crafting table, instead being cooked using a **Campfire Pot**.

### Recipe

To create a PokeSnack, you need the following core ingiridients:

* 3x **Hearty Grains**
* 1x **Vivichoke**
* 2x **Honey Bottles**
* 3x **Milk** (this can either be Buckets of Milk, or Moomoo Milk)

### Adding Seasonings

To customise your snack, you must add **Bait Seasonings** into the top of the Campfire Pot UI. You can use up to 3 seasoning items per batch. Some effects include:

* **Reducing time** in between bites.
* **Increasing spawn rate** of Pokemon from specific **Egg Groups**.
* **Increases chance** to get certain **natures**.
* **Increases spawn rate** of Pokemon with **specific typings**.
* **Increases chance** to get Pokemon of a **specific gender**.
* **Increases** a Pokemons **IVs and EVs**.
* **Inceases chance** to get a **Shiny Pokemon**.

Information about the specific effects of your snack can be reviewed by holding `Left Shift` when hovering over the item in your inventory.

## How to start Luring Pokemon

Once you have your snack, placement is key to making the most of it.

1. **Check your Biome**: PokeSnacks can only spawn Pokemon that *already* exists in a biome's spawn table. Refer to the [guides](/cobblemon-wiki/general-pokemon-spawns.md) covering spawn details to figure out the ideal location to get your Pokemon.
2. **Placement**: Place the snack on the ground, with plenty of open space around it. Pokemon will not spawn if the available area is restrictive, or covered.
3. **Boosting Spawns**: Multiple snacks can be placed nearby to have them each spawn Pokemon independently, increasing the frequency of spawns.
4. **Patience**: Snacks operate on the servers tick speed, so it may take several minutes for Pokemon to appear.

## FAQ

<details>

<summary><strong>Q: Why isn't my PokeSnack spawning anything?</strong></summary>

A: Make sure there is a large open area surrounding the snack, as without sufficient blocks for a Pokemon to spawn on, they may be delayed or even never show up.

Additionally, make sure you are not using a different item with a similar model named a PokeCake.

<summary><strong>Q: Do PokeSnacks work on Legendaries and Mythicals?</strong></summary>

A: No, Legends have different spawn conditions to wild Pokemon, so are not influenced by the effects of nearby snacks.

<details>

<summary><strong>Q: Do PokeSnacks work in other dimensions such as the End or Nether?</strong></summary>

A: Yes, so long as your current biome has a spawn table, the snack will function as expected.
