Boss Additions

You can set boss additions in order to edit existing or create variants of raid bosses. Variants of other variants will not be created unless specifically targeted in include.

How to create a boss addition

data/cobblemonraiddens/raid/boss_additions/example.json
{
    "priority": 0,                          // higher value priority will be applied first
    "include": [],                          // a list of raid bosses to apply the additions. Leave blank to apply to all
    "exclude": [                            // a list of raid bosses to be excluded from the additions
        "cobblemonraiddens:charizard",
        "#cobblemonraiddens:pikachu"        // both include and exclude support boss tags
    ],
    "additions": {                          // required. Follows the same structure as the raid boss json. See above. All fields are optional
        ...,
        "weight": 0.5                       // the weight is multiplied to the base weight rather than set
    },
    "replace": false,                       // whether the additions should edit the targeted raid boss or add a variant
    "suffix": "example"                     // the suffix to add to the end of the raid boss ID. Required only when "replace" is false
}

If you do not want variants to be created from a raid boss (i.e. mega evolution raid bosses), you can add them to the cobblemonraiddens:additions_blacklist boss tag. This will not prevent edits from boss additions, only the creation of variants.
