Pixelmon Mod

What defines a block as an AirPersistent block? Can't see a thing in Pixelmon code except the spawning algorithm, which is vague...

It looks to me like AirPersistent isn't being used anywhere. Do you need it for something?

It's being used in all three of the legendary bird spawning locations.

Then I'm tempted to say that they won't spawn, but I don't know the code 100%. Also, the version that's being played isn't the version I'm looking at.

it just means they are always flying

But then what do they spawn on? I can't figure it out. Also, what's the difference between air and airpersistent, then?

they spawn on air in the biome they should spawn in, and air is the block, and airpersistent just means it always flys

AirPersistent isn't being used yet. Mainly cause we don't have the AI implemented yet but the idea is that airpersistent pokemon will spawn high up in a set altitude range (for each pokemon) and will stay inside that range.

Currently airpersistent just get lumped with the other ground pokemon though so they do spawn

Hm, doing some tests and comparing to the database, they seem to be spawning a lot lower than the rarity the database has for them...

Is this because the other pokemon are taking up future spawning slots?

The rarity in the database is a relative number which relates to the total other pokemon also spawning in that biome. They are spawning at the right level currently
