KeepHeld
by nonoa
KeepHeld returns the item a Pokémon was holding once a Cobblemon battle is over, whether the result is a victory, a capture or a fled fight, on NeoForge for 1.21.1.
What it does
Battles in Cobblemon can consume or move held items such as an Oran berry, a Focus Sash or an item removed by Knock Off or Trick. KeepHeld records each held item when a battle starts and gives it back when the fight ends. Cobblemon is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside KeepHeld. Only server owners need to place the jar in the server mods folder; players join without it, and the license is MIT (open source).
Key features
Held item restore
The held item a Pokémon carried into a battle is returned to it once the battle is finished.
Works after every outcome
Restoration covers a won battle, a capture and a fled battle, so no outcome removes the item.
Ported from a Fabric idea
The behavior follows the Held Item Saver idea from Fabric, reimplemented as an original MIT-licensed port.
