MobMons
by rubensptt9
MobMons turns Minecraft mobs into Pokémon-style creatures that players can capture, battle and train, built on the Cobblemon framework.
What it does
Cobblemon is a required dependency, and MobMons adds vanilla mobs to its capture and battle system. A creature found in the world can be caught, after which it fights other Pokémon-style creatures under the rules Cobblemon provides. Each mob has base stats such as Attack, Defence, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def and Speed, along with a set of abilities and a total stat value.
Spawning is tied to biome and structure. Some mobs appear commonly in Pillager Outposts and Mansions, others only rarely in Plains, Swamps and Dark Forests, and several turn up often in Savannas, Badlands and Lush Caves. Warm Oceans hold a mix of common and uncommon finds. Wild encounters follow these tables, so a player has to explore a chosen biome to find a given creature.
The mod is distributed as a Fabric mod and also as a data pack for worlds, which places its files in the world's datapacks folder. The server requires the mod, and clients may leave it out. The mod is built for Minecraft 1.21.1 only, and version 1.0.0 was published on 2026-03-28. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Have you ever played Cobblemon and thought...?: "Wow, how incredible would it be to capture a Creeper and use it in a battle against another Pokémon?".
