I love the philosophy, community, and of course the content of this project.

While it’s not quite as robust as Pixelmon, or as mechanically unique as Pokecube (yet), it is the definitive Pokemon experience for Minecraft.

Of course, people love the aesthetics, and the fact the battle mechanics are a perfect 1 to 1 of showdown.

While as of the versions I played, not all the mechanics are quite there yet, the ease of integration and making add-ons is genuinely revolutionary, and without that I don’t think the adoption rate would have been so high.

The craze of Cobblemon’s launch is unlike anything else I’ve seen, huge props every single person who contributed to the amazing publicity and hype train Cobblemon almost immediately created.

The amount of *big* servers that popped up in just a month, the amount of pixelmon networks that started adding Cobblemon servers, or even completely switching over was truly a sight to behold, and from the bit I keep up this is still going on. Cobblemon is an instant classic, and every numbered update continues to be a major scene-wide event on par with the likes of Create, but reaching a much wider audience, enthralling those who otherwise don’t have an interest in Minecraft mods, or maybe haven’t even played Minecraft before.

I know personally that it was Pixelmon that convinced me to even play Minecraft, and I’ve seen that happen time and time again with Cobblemon and I couldn’t be happier. I think a new generation of players like me who get into mc because they want a Pokemon game better than anything that’ll be officially released are in great hands and will have an amazing introduction to the community via Cobblemon.

For that, this project deserves the utmost praise.

It’s still not feature complete but in active development. Definitely interested in watching its future as it is actively in development. Certainly looks better than pixelmon at least.

Cobblemon looks and feels right at home in Minecraft with the monsters’ cubic models. As the monster’s moves are ripped from Pokemon showdown I believe they are quite balanced. The only thing negative I’ve found is a few missing mechanics and Pokemon but later updates will no doubt remedy this 🙂

Did I mention you can add your own Pokemon through datapacks?

this mod pack is fun but its very much vanilla with added pokemon
