Cobblemon Hug
by Zkev1
Cobblemon Hug adds a Hug option to the Pokémon interaction wheel in Cobblemon, so players can embrace a Pokémon instead of battling it.
What it does
The Hug entry sits in the standard Cobblemon interaction wheel. Hugging starts a short approach and recovery animation, and the motion is matched to each Pokémon's body: kneeling for small ones, an open-arm embrace for wide ones, and a reaching hug for tall, flying or serpentine ones. Certain Pokémon have specially designed animations, such as Pikachu and Snorlax, and Stonjourner lifts Pikachu with its leg before setting it back down.
Hugged Pokémon play their cry, blush and show heart particles. Successful hugs raise friendship, and the friendship cooldowns between hugs can be changed in the config. Some Pokémon react to contact: certain electric Pokémon give a small shock, and certain ghostly ones cause a brief darkness effect. These reactions are short and configurable.
Installation needs Cobblemon and Player Animation Library. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the code is not open source. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, released 2026-08-15.
