Cobblemon: Cosmetic Forms
by Lvnatic
Cobblemon: Cosmetic Forms lets a player show Mega and Gigantamax looks on a Pokémon without changing its real form, through cosmetic item slots.
What it does
The mod adds cosmetic equipment slots for Mega Stones and Max Soup, so a Pokémon can wear a Mega or Gigantamax appearance while its actual battle form stays the same. Equipped items change only the model shown on screen. A Pokémon keeps whatever cosmetic form it was given, and the cosmetic Mega keeps looking like a Mega. Gimmicks such as Mega evolution or Dynamax remain usable alongside the cosmetic look, since nothing about the battle mechanics is altered.
Several specific items are covered, including the Slowbrogonite for Galarian Slowbro, Crystalline Steelixite for Crystal Steelix, Shadow Mewtwonite X and Y, and the raw Mega Stone for Illusionary Rayquaza. Clone starters such as Snowman Snorlax and Sandy and Lana's Eevee can take their respective Max Soup looks. Rayquaza needs the raw Mega Stone form and Cosmetic Gmax v1.4 or newer, and Urshifu needs the sweet Max Soup item.
The mod runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 only. It is also available as a data pack for server platforms. The server must run it and players may add it for the look. It is released under a custom license, and the source code is public, but the mod is not open source.
Key features
Cosmetic Mega slot
Mega Stones can be equipped in a cosmetic slot, showing a Mega look without changing the Pokémon's form.
Cosmetic Gigantamax slot
Max Soup can be equipped to a gmax-able Pokémon's cosmetic slot, displaying a Gigantamax model on demand.
Species-specific stones
Each supported species has its own Mega Stone or Max Soup item, such as Slowbrogonite or Shadow Mewtwonite X and Y.
Unchanged gameplay
The cosmetic look is purely visual, so other gimmicks such as battle Mega evolution and Dynamax keep working.

How it compares
CobbleMorph is a client-side Fabric mod that requires its client and leaves the server optional, and it is published under All rights reserved. Cobblemon QoL Suite runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 with the client and server both needing it, and it is not open source. Catch Indicator is a client-side only addon for Fabric and NeoForge, so only the client needs it. Cosmetic Forms by contrast needs the server and changes appearance without changing the Pokémon's form.

Lots of people always wanted permanent megas and gmax forms and well, that would be incredibly unbalanced - so I talked to some the supporters and what y'all seem to want is to look at the models instead. Well the compromise I made will allow you to do just that! With Cosmetic Forms you can equip a Pokémons Mega…
