Volca's Cobblemon Remixed is a server-side progression mod for Cobblemon on NeoForge 1.21.1. It turns a standard Cobblemon world into a structured trainer journey with ranks, gated items, party limits, and level caps — so players earn power instead of getting everything on day one.

Trainer Ranks & Level Caps

Climb through 10 Trainer Ranks, each tied to story milestones and rank-up battles. Your rank sets a Pokémon level cap (20 at Rank I up to 100 at Rank IX/X). Pokémon above your cap won't gain experience, can't be boosted with rare candies, and won't obey if sent into battle.

Research Ranks & Task Progression

Parallel to Trainer Rank is a Research Rank system built around four ongoing goals:

Capture Pokémon
Evolve Pokémon
Explore unique biomes
Register species in the Pokédex

Complete all four tasks in a tier to advance your Research Rank and unlock new categories of items. A built-in Research Progress screen shows your current tier and progress toward each goal.

Gated Item Unlocks

Items are locked behind Research Rank, including:

Rank II — Great Balls, Safari Balls, and other mid-tier Poké Balls
Rank III — Vitamins, feathers, and most training items
Rank IV — Held items and Terastallization (Tera Orbs & shards)
Rank V — Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Z-Move gear (Mega Showdown)
Rank VI — Beast Ball and late-game capture tools
Rank VIII — Stellar Tera Shards, Master Ball, and Origin Ball

Items you haven't earned yet can't be used — held items, Poké Balls, experience candies, and more are blocked server-side with clear feedback.

Party Slot Progression

Players start with 2 unlocked party slots (configurable) instead of a full team of 6. Unlock more slots by progressing:

Craft a Pokédex
Complete your first Evolution milestone
Reach Trainer Rank II
Reach Trainer Rank III

Locked slots are enforced server-side — Pokémon can't stay in, move to, or swap through locked slots.

Advancements & Tracking

A full advancement tree tracks Trainer Ranks, Research Ranks, and all four task categories across nine tiers (plus endgame ranks). Progress syncs automatically from gameplay.

Admin Tools

Server operators get commands to manage progression:

/partyslots slots <1-6> — set a player's unlocked party slots
/partyslots unlockall — grant all 6 slots
/partyslots trainerrank set — set Trainer Rank
/partyslots research — open a player's research progress UI

Requirements

Required: Cobblemon
Optional but supported: Cobblemon Mega Showdown, SimpleTMs, Accessories

Designed for multiplayer servers and progression-focused survival worlds. Single-player works too, but the systems shine when everyone is on the same journey.
