Pixelmon Ultra Space Settings

The settings below are listed in the same order as they appear in ultra_space.yml. The table preserves each default and identifies the accepted value type. The Setting column shows a reader-friendly name first, followed by the matching ultra_space.yml key for reference.

Important Ultra Space Setting Notes

Defaults and Value Types

Boolean toggles, numeric rates, timers, lists, and mappings use different value formats. Preserve the value type shown in the table and keep collection syntax intact when changing ultra_space.yml.

Settings That Work Together

Several ultra space options can affect the same outcome. Review related rates, limits, timers, and lists together before deciding that one value is responsible for a result.

Testing Changes

  • Change one related group of settings at a time so its effect is easy to measure.

  • Test the result under the conditions affected by the setting, including relevant dimensions, player states, or encounter types.

  • Keep a copy of the previous values so unexpected balance or performance changes can be reversed quickly.

Final Thoughts

Ultra Space settings are easier to balance when changes are deliberate and documented. Start with the defaults, adjust only what the server needs, and verify the result before moving on to the next group.
