Cobblemon Real-Time Combat: CobbleStrike!

Cobble Strike 0.4.2 - NeoForge and Fabric 1.21.1

First Cobble Strike release for Minecraft 1.21.1 (Cobblemon 1.7.x). It brings the real-time combat of the 1.20.1 version. KopperLib is bundled inside the NeoForge jar, so you do not need to install it separately.

Combat and control

• Your Pokemon learns how you fight. It remembers which attacks you order in which situations (type matchup, distance, combos and rhythm) and uses what you would have picked when it fights alone. The selector (G) shows its affinity and highlights the attack it would use on its own. Tune it in the learning section of cobblestrike-common.toml.
• Queue the next attack while your Pokemon fights alone: if the attack is still recharging, it fires as soon as it is ready. Low level Pokemon hesitate before attacking on their own.
• Rider maneuvers from the selector: Quick Attack goes in and back out (back with S, stay forward with W), Agility does side dodge hops, Protect and Counter open a short parry.
• Attacking a CobbleBosses boss now shows the full effects, and projectiles burst on its shield instead of bouncing. Bosses no longer get the wild Pokemon AI.
• Opening the attack selector no longer blurs or darkens the screen.

Visual effects

• Beams with organic edges, travelling waves and frayed borders, and a look of their own for each attack, with hand-drawn bubbles in Bubble Beam.
• Trails, shadows and shapes for projectiles (needles, icicles, bones, seeds, mud and rocks), and staggered bursts.
• Vine Whip lashes twice, and Solar Beam has its own sounds.
• Faster attack animations, and contact attacks animate when they connect.
• Screen shake on heavy hits (NeoForge only).
• Homing projectiles now reach their target instead of burying themselves in the ground.

Fixes

• Fixed a crash when seeing rock or mud projectiles (the game closed with "Not building!").
• Guard mode: a Pokemon on Guard no longer walks back to an old post from anywhere. Past 64 blocks from its post (release_distance in guard) or in another dimension, it goes back to Follow and tells you.
• New API so CobbleBosses and other mods can draw their attacks with Cobble Strike effects.

Requires Cobblemon 1.7.0 or newer. NeoForge version needs NeoForge 21.1 or newer; the Fabric version needs Fabric API and Forge Config API Port.
