About this project

What does Cobblemon Showdown (Forge 1.20.1) add?

This mod aims to add features to Cobblemon on 1.20.1, which has ceased updates as of May 2024 (v1.5.2). Some features are backports from updated versions of Cobblemon, and some entirely new.

Overview

In-battle user interface that displays helpful information, like party stats, current stat changes, type effectiveness, and field conditions. [Hold SHIFT for more info ingame]
Completely custom PVP battle formats: set level, bans, clauses and more. The default formats will generate in on first launch (in config/cobblemon_showdown) and are customizable.
DOUBLE BATTLES are also an available PVP format option in config. [v2.0.0]
PC sorting user-interface to sort boxes by many characteristics. You can also use [MOUSE SCROLL] to quickly switch boxes.
Commands to quick lookup any Pokemon species/move/ability etc.

❗ This mod is required on both client and server. It relies on custom packets from the server to send battle data to the client.

All commands are under /showdown.
