Cobblemon Environment Interactions

Turn your Cobblemon partners into useful field companions.

Cobblemon Environment Interactions adds Pokemon-powered mining while riding a Cobblemon Pokemon or commanding one nearby companion Pokemon.

Supported stack:

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• Fabric Loader 0.18.4+
• Fabric API 0.116.11+1.21.1
• Cobblemon 1.7.3+1.21.1
• Java 21

Gameplay

Pokemon mining is disabled by default to prevent accidental world damage.

Press V to toggle Pokemon mining on or off. When enabled:

• Left click while riding a Cobblemon Pokemon to mine with that Pokemon.
• Sneak-left-click while exactly one owned Pokemon is out within 12 blocks to command that companion Pokemon.
• If more than one owned Pokemon is out nearby, companion mining is refused until only one is out.

Mining uses the acting Pokemon's stats:

• Attack controls impact radius.
• Special Attack controls range and helps projectile speed.
• Speed lowers cooldown and helps projectile speed.
• The detected primary type controls the configured visual flavor.
• Dual-type Pokemon with Normal plus another type prefer the non-Normal type.

The projectile is aimed from the Pokemon to the block or point under the player's cursor. Blocks are broken only on impact. Bedrock, unbreakable blocks, and wither-immune blocks are skipped. The mod also calls Fabric's block-break event before breaking blocks so other mods have a chance to veto mining.

Visual Config

On first launch, the mod creates:

config/cobblemon-environment-interactions.json

Each Pokemon type has:

• mode: cobblemon, vanilla, or both
• move: Cobblemon action-effect move name
• particle: vanilla particle id
• block: block id used when particle is minecraft:block
• sound: vanilla sound event id
• soundCooldownTicks: minimum ticks before the same fallback sound can restart

Example:

"rock": {
  "mode": "cobblemon",
  "move": "rockthrow",
  "particle": "minecraft:block",
  "block": "minecraft:stone",
  "sound": "minecraft:block.tuff_bricks.break",
  "soundCooldownTicks": 12
}

Multiplayer

Install the same jar on the client and server.

The server validates that the player is riding a Cobblemon Pokemon or has exactly one owned companion Pokemon nearby. The client toggle only controls whether the local player intercepts left click for Pokemon mining.
