Cobblemon Buffs
by chhannn1
Cobblemon Buffs is a Cobblemon addon in which Pokémon grant buff effects that grow stronger as their type level and friendship rise.
What it does
Buffs are tied to the Pokémon in a player's party. Each type grants its own effect, such as temporary fire resistance from a fire type, and a party containing a given type receives those buffs. Effects scale across three tiers, which are reached by ranking up a Pokémon, and the tier depends on a combination of its level and friendship. Effects are modeled on vanilla Minecraft potion-style powers.
A buff panel is opened with a key press. It shows the power progression of each party member and lets a player check what each type provides. The mod notifies the player when a Pokémon levels up to a new tier, and when a new aura or aura type is first obtained through a new Pokémon or type.
Installation needs Architectury API, Cobblemon, Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin on Fabric, and Architectury API and Cobblemon on NeoForge. Both sides must run it, and files are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, with the source code available. The mod is open source.
Key features
Type-based buffs
Each Pokémon type grants a unique buff, so a fire-type member can provide fire resistance while it is in the party.
Three buff tiers
Buff strength rises through tiers 1 to 3 as a Pokémon ranks up, based on its level and friendship.
Buff panel
A key press opens a GUI that lists party progression and what each type provides.
Tier and aura notices
Players are notified when a Pokémon reaches a new tier and when a new aura type is first obtained.

How it compares
Cobblemon Environment Interactions is also for Cobblemon on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, with client and server environment, but it is not open source and uses the Apache License 2.0. Cobblemon Alphas is a Fabric and NeoForge addon for 1.21.1 under the MIT License and is open source, but it requires the server while the client stays optional, whereas Cobblemon Buffs needs both sides. Follow me [Cobblemon] is a Fabric-only option for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, with client and server environment, and is not open source.
