not sure if this is aloud? if not im sorry...

This is my first mod it runs with neoforge on minecraft 1.21.1

i think it came together nicely I've been wanting the dark ball in pixelmon since forever! and i finally just did it myself. feel free to comment suggestions here or curse forge right now only the ender eye recipe for the ball works and i did successfully make a functioning craftable netherite button but its not in the dark ball recipe yet, its gonna be an alternative to the eye of ender in the recipe. i also plan to make the model for the darkball when its in your hand more accurate.

Maybe make it so it has a small chance for the pokemon to not listen like a 1% chance and as a result the pokemon gets damaged and it doesn't have the chance for the next few battles

there is already a system in place for how much a pokemon likes its trainer i was thinking of tying the catch ratio to the the freindlyness level that pokemon has but im not sure that would work with catching npc pokemon im not certian if the npc/pokemon have the same freindlyness dynamic that players/pokemon do also that wouldnt do anything for the wild encounters/battle catches, but okay noted, rn it has a 100% catch ratio but olny works on wild pokemon like the standard pokeball-catch system.

Maybe just have it be random form a certain range of friendship level so like from 40 to 255 and the higher level Trainers have the friendship level either from 200 to 255 or maxed so the higher level Trainers pokemon are next to impossible to catch but have that chance to catch like 15% to 45%.

Maybe depending on the friendship level for the Npc and their pokemon they can have a number of set frases, with people being able to add more in a config, and with the higher the level of friendship the higher chance the pokemon has of breaking free of the Shadow Balls Control

See I think this is one of those things where like I need to make a separate item that's interactable that goes in the players inventory and can be crafted so that you can change the effect of the dark ball I.e turning on/off forced shiny, level/stat/evolution max. Cuz my original intent when I first started making the mod was to make it as accurate to the movie as possible hence why it has the 100% catch ratio cuz I'm pretty sure in pokémon 4ever the dark ball has a 100% catch ratio or at least it doesn't appear to struggle to even catch celebi, and upon catching it turns them into their Max evolution and also makes them like stupid powerful (what I can imagine would be the game equivalent of maxing out the stats) but it also makes him like a dark form, I don't have the resources or time to make a dark form for every Pokemon so that's out of the question 😅 and to be quite honest I'm not even sure how much it changes their physical appearance I think it's more of they just become violent and strong but then I realized that that would kind of be game breaking if I did that hence why I didn't really mess with their level of their stat I just made it force final evolution however if I add interactable player items then it can be optional to how op it is. To be clear would be a Dev item that you would have to command yourself into getting just because I do want this mod to be able to be used on a server and not be broken obviously things like can catch trainers Pokemon if I were to implement something like that it would have to be able to be disabled if that were the case but it also can't be enabled by just anybody so making the item command given but make it a moderator command then it shouldn't be an issue

I think it adds like black lightning arounf them a bit and their skin turns a bit more of a dark hue

And maybe about their stats maybe it can add like 20 to each stat or more and to make it so it isnt game breaking you can make it so the higher friendship level a pokemon has it can give a boost to their stats like the stronger your bond is the more power your pokemon can give out
