Cobblemon Environment Interactions

Turn your Cobblemon partners into useful field companions!

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

NOTE: if using pasture blocks, the mod may detect pasture pokemon as companions and therefore ask for only a single pokemon to be out.

NOTE: only works with actual Cobblemon Pokemon, not vanilla mobs or other mods' Pokemon.

Requirements

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

Optional, but recommended:

Mod Menu 11.0.3
Cloth Config API 15.0.140

For multiplayer, install the mod on both the server and every client.

Installation

Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.21.1.
Install Fabric API and Cobblemon.
Put the Cobblemon Environment Interactions jar in your mods folder.
Start the game.
Join a world and press V to enable Pokemon interactions.

Pokemon interactions are disabled by default each time you join a world, so normal clicking is safe until you turn them on.

Controls

Action	Input
Enable or disable Pokemon interactions	`V`
Mine with a mounted Pokemon	Ride a Pokemon and left-click
Use a mounted Pokemon's type utility	Ride a Pokemon and right-click
Mine with a companion Pokemon	Sneak-left-click with exactly one owned Pokemon nearby
Use a companion Pokemon's type utility	Sneak-right-click with exactly one owned Pokemon nearby

Companion commands only work when exactly one owned Pokemon is nearby.

How It Works

Left-click mining breaks blocks using the Pokemon you are riding or commanding. The stronger offensive stat, Attack or Special Attack, controls mining power. Speed lowers the mining cooldown.

Right-click utilities use the Pokemon's type. Some utilities work on the aimed block, while others work on dropped items near the target. Higher stats mean larger areas, more processed items, better rolls, or stronger special outputs.

Held items matter. A Pokemon holding the matching type item gets a +50 power boost for mining and utilities. Dual-type Pokemon can also use a matching held item to choose which of their types to use.

Default Tiering And Behavior

Default mining tiers:

Pokemon mining power	Impact radius	Range
Below `50`	0	8 blocks
`50-149`	1	11 blocks
`150+`	2	15 blocks

Default utility tiers for most right-click utilities:

Pokemon utility power	Dropped item limit	Block area radius
Below `50`	8	0
`50-149`	16	1
`150-299`	32	2
`300+`	64	3

Steel prospecting uses a fixed 3x3 footprint and scales depth instead of radius:

Steel utility power	Prospecting area
Below `50`	`3x3x1`
`50-149`	`3x3x2`
`150-299`	`3x3x3`
`300+`	`3x3x4`

Default utility cooldowns:

Speed	Cooldown
Below `50`	10 seconds
`50-149`	5 seconds
`150-299`	2 seconds
`300+`	0 seconds

Some powerful actions, such as rare crafting, hive harvesting, camp cooking, and large repairs, use a longer cooldown.

Safety

The mod is designed to be useful without surprising you.

Interactions stay off until you press V.
Companion commands require exactly one owned Pokemon nearby.
Mining, Rock tunnels, and Steel prospecting use block-breaking safety rules.
Many block utilities are surface-aware, so they do not change hidden blocks through a solid cover layer.
Protection mods can stop mining through Fabric block-break events.

Right-click utilities can still intentionally change blocks or consume dropped items, so treat V like a tool mode.

The code release is coming soon.
