What it does

Hardcore mode changes what happens when a Cobblemon faints. A Pokémon holding a Totem is removed from the party for good instead of being revived, and the Totems that count are the default Minecraft Totem of Undying or others set in the mod's configuration. Health Link is an optional part that ties the player's maximum hearts to the size of the Cobblemon party.

The mod is a server-side addition for players who want an extra layer of risk in battles and adventuring, where each decision carries a permanent cost. It is inspired by the W's Permadeath datapack, but uses the same concept with more room for customization through its settings. Cobblemon Molang Extensions adds new Molang functions for more complex dynamic behavior in Cobblemon's Molang system, including interactions with Cobblemon NPCs.

Installation needs Cobblemon, Fabric API, Forge Config API Port and Matthiesen Core. Builds for Fabric and NeoForge target 1.21.1 only; the latest file is 1.0.0-beta.8, dated 2026-09-25 on the beta channel. Only the server needs the mod, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Public links for source code, the issue tracker and a wiki are available. Anonymous usage statistics are gathered through FastStats, and the developer reads them to see how the mod is used and where it can improve.
