Cobblemon Gym Badges
Cobblemon Gym Badges adds a Badge Press that crafts custom gym badges and ribbons for Cobblemon, with access limited by role.
What it does
The Badge Press is placed in the world and takes a core ingredient in the top slot and a base ingredient in the bottom slot to produce a badge. Gym Leader roles gate who can craft badges, so a badge can be restricted to the player holding the matching role. Recipes are only shown to a player when that player can actually craft them, and the mod integrates with JEI, EMI and REI for browsing.
Badges and ribbons are defined through datapacks and resourcepacks. A definition sets a name, a theme, a required role, optional item tags and a custom model data value, and a translation key gives each badge its display text. Custom art stays outside the jar in a resourcepack, so new badges can be added without changing the mod itself. The mod requires NeoForge and is open source under the MIT License, with files published for 1.21.1.
Key features
Badge Press crafting
A placed Badge Press combines a core ingredient and a base ingredient into a gym badge or ribbon.
Role-based access
Gym Leader roles gate badge crafting, so only players with the required role can make a given badge.
Datapack-defined badges
Each badge is a datapack file that sets its name, theme, role, tags and model data, with no code changes.
Resourcepack artwork
Badge textures live in resourcepacks, so custom art can be swapped or added without rebuilding the mod.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Server gym progression
A server can hand out badges as Gym Leader rewards, limiting each badge to the leader role that earns it.
Custom badge sets
A pack maker can define a new set of badges and ribbons through datapacks and matching resourcepack textures.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Cobblemon gym progression and pack makers who want custom badges and ribbons. Installation is needed on both the server and every player's client, and the mod is for NeoForge only.
How it compares
CobbleBash is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and published for NeoForge 1.21.1 with the same client and server environment. Shadow's Custom Cobblemon Pack is not open source, uses All rights reserved and is also for NeoForge 1.21.1. CobbleBuilds: Leaders covers 1.21 – 1.21.3 across four loaders and is server required with client optional, so it works differently from Gym Badges.
