Everything You Need To Know About Cobblemon Again

Overview

Cobblemon is a Minecraft mod that integrates Pokémon-style gameplay into vanilla Minecraft. This guide is an updated summary covering UI basics, new features, crafting, automation, and quality-of-life mods. There is no overarching storyline beyond standard Pokémon-style play (catch, train, evolve, explore); the emphasis is on mechanics, items, and setting up a Cobblemon-centric base.

Gameplay highlights and features

• Starter selection

  • Press G to open the starter chooser and pick your starter (example shown: Turtwig).

• Basic controls / UI

  • Swap active Pokémon with the arrow keys (or bind to mouse buttons for speed).
  • Pokedex: right-click to scan Pokémon and reveal their info; includes region tabs and an animated entry view with cry and drop info.
  • PC and boxes: store and access Pokémon in the PC; UI mods can add search, rename, and colored boxes for organization.

Important items and crafting priorities (tips)

• Poké Balls
  • Quick Balls are highly recommended (5× catch rate on the first turn). Prioritize gold farming so you can craft Quick/Ultra Balls earlier.
• Apricorns
  • Gather and farm apricorns to craft many Poké Balls. Apricorn farms can be automated (dispenser + bone meal).
• Pokeipedia
  • An in-game reference book listing evolution items, Poké Ball types, and general guidance. Craftable from a book + apricorn seed.
• Red smartphone (modded)
  • Portable PC + healing machine + portable ender chest — highly recommended for convenience.
• Ridable Pokémon mod
  • Lets you ride certain Pokémon (ridable icon shown in the Pokedex).
• Backpack mod
  • Recommended for extra inventory space due to many new items.
• Biome / spawn mods (example: “Terriith”)
  • Adds more biomes to increase Pokémon spawn variety.

Step-by-step / Short how-tos

1. Swap Pokémon in battle

   • Press arrow keys (or configured mouse buttons), then throw the next Pokémon.

2. Scan a Pokémon with the Pokedex

   • Hold right click while pointing at a Pokémon to scan; scanned entries unlock details and drops.

3. Automate apricorn collection

   • Plant apricorn sprouts or place them by trees; use dispensers + bone meal to auto-harvest.

4. Fossil restoration (grow fossil Pokémon)

   • Find suspicious sand → dig with a brush to get fossils (e.g., Old Amber).
   • Place fossil in the Fossil Analyzer; fill the Restoration Tank with the required fluid/material.
   • Wait (~10 minutes real time) for the specimen to grow; collect the revived Pokémon.

5. Craft a basic potion (example)

   • Collect water bottles.
   • Obtain medicinal leek from water bodies (replantable).
   • Combine bottles + medicinal leek to make medicinal brew; add an Orange (or better: Citrus) berry to create potions.
   • Tip: skip lower-tier berries and use Citrus to craft Hyper/Max potions more quickly.

6. Craft Revive / Max Revive

   • Revive Stone: honey bottle + heal powder (heal powder from smelting revival herb found in lush caves).
   • Max Revive: requires 3 Revive Stones + a Vivichoke.

7. Poke Rod (fishing)

   • Combine a fishing rod + smithing template (Poke Rod upgrade) + Poké Ball at a smithing table.
   • Attach bait (berries) to the Poke Rod (stacks allowed). You can find evolution items and special items while fishing (e.g., Dragon Scale, Deep Sea Scale, Prism Scale).

8. Use PokeNav / Poke Finder

   • PokeNav shows spawn rarity (common → ultra rare) and spawn chances.
   • Add a species to the Poke Finder to get an on-screen compass/dot to track specific Pokémon; can filter by rarity, label, aspects, or shiny only.

Strategies and practical tips

• Prioritize a gold farm early to craft Quick Balls and Ultra Balls quickly.
• Automate apricorn and berry production (bone meal + replant loops) to keep resources flowing.
• Use the Poke Finder for targeted hunts (rare or shiny).
• Install the red smartphone mod for portable healing and PC access—especially useful in the Nether/End.
• Install UI mods for easier PC management (searching, renaming, coloring boxes) and for richer battle info (power, accuracy, and move descriptions).
• Use ridable Pokémon to traverse the world faster and explore new structures.
• Keep a backpack to manage the many new items.
• Explore rare structures like Shipwreck Cove for high-value loot and templates, but be prepared—they are dangerous.

Blockquote for emphasis:

Early automation (gold, apricorns, berries) and a Poke Finder are the fastest ways to accelerate your Cobblemon progression.

New content & locations

• Shipwreck Cove
