About

Cobblemon Ride+ expands Cobblemon's native riding system with additional Pokémon carefully configured to become fully functional mounts.

Rather than introducing a separate riding mechanic or modifying Pokémon models, Ride+ extends Cobblemon's official riding implementation to support additional species through individually calibrated seat positions, offsets, rotations and animated bone tracking.

Everything is handled through Cobblemon's existing systems, providing a synchronized riding experience while preserving the original Pokémon models and animations.

Highlights

• 122 configured rideable Pokémon
• 10 additional Pokémon in v1.3
• Built on the native Cobblemon 1.8.2 riding system
• Land, air and water riding
• Individually calibrated rider positions and rotations
• Dynamic seat positioning using runtime transformations
• Animated rider anchoring for Pokémon with moving model parts
• Automatic tracking of existing animated bones
• Rider synchronization with Pokémon movement
• Compatibility handling for different Pokémon forms and aspects
• Compatible with Mega Showdown
• No Pokémon model, texture or animation redistribution
• Fabric and NeoForge support
• More mounts coming in future updates

Native Cobblemon Riding System

Cobblemon Ride+ does not introduce a separate riding or vehicle system.

Instead, it extends the official riding implementation introduced in modern Cobblemon, allowing additional Pokémon to function as native mounts.

How Does Ride+ Work?

Ride+ uses Mixins targeting Cobblemon's native classes, including Seat, PosableModel and PokemonClientDelegate.

Through Cobblemon's SpeciesAdditions system, Ride+ registers additional riding configurations for supported Pokémon.

On the client, it dynamically adjusts existing seat locator matrices using runtime transformations, allowing rider offsets, rotations and animated bone tracking without editing Pokémon geometry.

For Pokémon with moving body parts, Ride+ can calculate rider positioning from the existing animated bone hierarchy, allowing the rider to follow movements more naturally.

All these adjustments are performed at runtime through Cobblemon's existing rendering and passenger positioning systems.

Asset Compatibility

Ride+ does not bundle, redistribute or replace Pokémon models, textures or animations from Cobblemon or third-party addons.

It uses its own JSON riding configurations and runtime positioning logic instead of distributing modified Pokémon model files.

This approach helps preserve compatibility with resource packs and other Cobblemon addons, although specific combinations may still require adjustments.

Addon Compatibility

Ride+ is designed to work alongside other Cobblemon addons by relying on Cobblemon's native species, forms, aspects and riding systems.

For example, some form-specific compatibility adjustments are handled by detecting existing Cobblemon aspects and available locators, rather than modifying the third-party addon's source code or assets.

Compatibility may vary depending on how individual addons implement their Pokémon models and riding data.
