Cobblemon: Modular Poké Balls
by Seth_2025
Players who want a ball of their own design can assemble one from separate lid, rim and core parts at a workbench in this Cobblemon addon.
What it does
A modular ball is built from a top lid, a bottom lid, a rim button and a core. The lid pattern and colour sections are chosen independently for each half, and the core sets the catch power. The mod offers 25 lid designs in 16 colours, which together allow over three trillion distinct balls before the core is counted. Classic patterns such as Poké, Great, Ultra, Beast, Safari, Master and Luxury are included, along with a Great-style top and a Moon base.
Crafting happens at a Modular Ball Workbench, which takes the standard apricorns of the base game and iron ingots alongside a crafting table. Each lid section takes the apricorn colour the player wants, and the workbench shows a live rotating 3D preview above the block alongside a sprite design in the GUI. Hovering over a slot highlights the matching part in both previews, so the result of each choice is visible before the ball is finished.
Six core tiers decide catch power, and the core stays in the workbench slot when the finished ball is taken out. Catch rates are configurable in the server config, so server owners can tune the tiers. The addon requires Cobblemon and is published for Fabric and NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1.
Key features
Independent lid halves
The top and bottom lids each take their own pattern and colour sections, so one ball can mix two designs.
Live workbench preview
A rotating 3D model and a sprite preview update as slots are filled, and hovering a slot marks the matching part.
Craftable apricorn seeds
Each apricorn colour has a seed made from an apricorn and a matching dye, which yields 16 seeds, one per colour.
Tiered cores
Cores are dropped in six tiers, and each sets catch power. The ball tooltip shows the catch rate and a capture label at Master tier.
