PokeDemo-Play Cobblemon/Pokemon on Plugin Servers

by nn2048

With PokeDemo-Play, players can run Cobblemon-style Pokémon on Minecraft plugin servers, and the 2.0 update adds Legendary Pokémon spawning and four battle systems.

FabricGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.21 – 26.2

What it does

The mod brings Pokémon play to servers built on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and Folia, which run plugins rather than Fabric mods. Its 2.0 update adds spawning for Legendary Pokémon, along with Mega Evolution, Dynamax, Terastallization and Z-Moves. The release also includes optimizations, gameplay changes and bug fixes, and the author calls it the largest update in several months. The Pokémon models come from Cobblemon.

Players can start a battle from outside the world by clicking a Pokémon or throwing one with the R key. A starter can be picked with Shift+F, and a phone item gives access to crafting recipes through the /recipes command. PvP exists but has been tested only a few times. The plugin language can be changed in its lang.yml file, and Chinese and English are the only complete translations.

The mod is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. The Fabric client mod is needed to play properly, and the server side is a plugin. Files cover 1.21 – 26.2 with 16 release versions, and snapshot builds have been published. The Folia build has more bugs and is meant for testing only.

Key features

  1. Legendary Pokémon spawning

    Legendary Pokémon appear in the world as part of the 2.0 update, alongside the existing spawns.

  2. Four battle systems

    Mega Evolution, Dynamax, Terastallization and Z-Moves are available in battles.

  3. Starter selection and phone item

    Players pick a starter with Shift+F, then use the phone item to open crafting recipes.

  4. Battles from the world

    Clicking a Pokémon or throwing one with R starts a battle without leaving the world.
