Extra Move Animations (Cobblemon)
by Instrafe
Extra Move Animations adds battle animations for a set of Cobblemon moves that the base mod leaves without them, so these moves play a visual effect when a Pokémon uses them.
What it does
Cobblemon ships animations for only part of its move list. This add-on covers a selected group of moves, each playing its own effect in battle once the mod is installed, and no move data or balance values are changed. The moves include a dragon-themed attack, a sphere attack, a rain move, a blade attack, an electric move, a teleport, a ground shake, a Z-Move tackle, and Bulk Up and Self-Destruct.
The mod is a server mod: it is required on the server, while players may add it to their clients as an option. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, and requires Cobblemon. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source is public.
Key features
Dragon-themed attack effect
A dragon-themed attack shows a visual effect when a Pokémon uses it in battle.
Sphere and blade effects
Aura-style sphere and blade attacks each receive an effect that plays on use, filling gaps in base animations.
Rain and electric effects
A rain move and an electric move show weather- and electricity-themed effects in battle.
Teleport and tackle effects
A teleport move plays a motion effect, and a Z-Move tackle gets its own animation.
Bulk Up and Self-Destruct
Bulk Up and Self-Destruct are included in the animated move set, covering moves that cannot be seen clearly otherwise.
