Cobblemon - Show Held Items
by joshxviii
With Cobblemon installed, Show Held Items draws a Pokémon's held item in the world, so the item is visible on the creature itself.
What it does
Held items appear on Pokémon as they move through the world. The mod is a side addition to Cobblemon and does nothing without it, so Cobblemon is the required dependency. Items can be hidden, or shown as hats or glasses, through data pack tags that a server can replace. Hidden items stay visible to the Pokémon's owner.
The mod works on either side, and neither the server nor the client needs it. When a player joins a server without the mod, only that player's own Pokémon show their items. Rendering can be adjusted for other models by adding locators named "held item", "held item fixed", "held item head" and "held item eyes", with optional scale modifiers set in the model's configuration.
The mod is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1; the latest Fabric file is 0.2.3 for 1.21.1. It is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and public source code is available.
Key features
Visible held items
A Pokémon's held item is drawn on the creature in the world rather than kept only in its summary.
Server-controlled hats and glasses
Server owners choose which items hide or appear as hats or glasses by replacing the hidden or wearable item tag files.
Owner visibility
Items hidden from other players still show to the Pokémon's owner.
Custom model locators
Model authors can add held item locators to render items for Fakemon or Pokémon that do not show them by default.

Server owners can add modded hats or eye items to the wearable tags to dress Pokémon with items from other mods.
Fakemon with held items

Who it’s for: Cobblemon players who want to see held items on their creatures, and server owners who want to control which items appear as hats or glasses.

What the author says
This is a side mod for Cobblemon so it will not do anything without Cobblemon installed. This mod allows Pokémon's Held Items render in the world. When joining a server that does not have this mod installed, only your own Pokémon's items will be rendered.
