SimpleTMs: TMs and TRs for Cobblemon
by Dragomordor
Players teach moves to Pokémon in Cobblemon with TMs and TRs through SimpleTMs, which adds those items to the Pokémon game as an expansion.
What it does
A TM holds a single move and can be used on a Pokémon in the party if that Pokémon can learn the move. By default a TM carries 32 uses, and a damaged one can be restored with diamond blocks in an anvil. A TR works the same way but is consumed after one use. Items with an assigned move open a selection screen listing the party, and tooltips show each move's description and type.
Blank TMs and TRs let a player imprint any move from a Pokémon's moveset onto the item. By default, Pokémon learn moves from the TM, Tutor and Egg Move groups, and the Bulbapedia site lists which moves each species can learn. The configuration options are described in the CONFIG.md file of the source repository.
The mod requires Architectury API, Cobblemon, Fabric API and Kotlin for Forge, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The code is under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so SimpleTMs is open source.
Key features
Single-move TMs
Each TM teaches one specific move to a Pokémon, and its uses are counted down as it is applied.
Single-use TRs
TRs teach a move and break after a single use, a different trade-off than the reusable TM.
Party selection screen
Using an item with an assigned move opens a screen where the player picks a compatible Pokémon from the party.
Move tooltips
Hovering over a TM or TR shows the move's description and type, so players can check the move before using it.
Imprintable blank items
Blank TMs and TRs take any move from a chosen Pokémon's moveset, after which they behave like the premade items.
