Apricogs
A Create x Cobblemon addon: build Poke Balls on assembly lines, make potions, candies and food in machines, automate Cobblemon with Create, and find the rare origin ore with its armor trims and Gholdengo look.
Quick answer
Which Apricogs release should I use?
Apricogs 1.3.0 targets 1.21.1 with NeoForge. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. All 3 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Apricogs required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does Apricogs 1.3.0 need?
1.3.0. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Create, Cobblemon, Kotlin for Forge first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 4 come through another mod in the chain.
4 extra mods were pulled in by other dependencies. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Apricogs add?

Apricogs is a Create x Cobblemon addon. Build Poke Balls on a real assembly line, brew potions in a Mechanical Mixer and mass-produce vitamins and candies. You need a little Create knowledge: how to power a machine and move items between machines. Nothing advanced, and JEI shows every recipe step by step.
This mod was made for the Steamon community and for the Steamon modpack.
Video
Poke Balls on an assembly line
Show
Every ball is built in stages and every stage is a real item: a bottom cut from a metal sheet, a lid cut from an apricorn, a mechanism, a stencil, then aprijuice for the colors.
A saw or a wash takes most balls back to an earlier stage, and everything the deployer does can also be crafted at the crafting table.







Tumblestone Anvils and villagers
Show
Three Tumblestone Anvils (Tumblestone, Sky and Black), crafted like an anvil from blocks and plates of the stone. Lay an apricorn on one and hit it with an axe, a sword or a knife to cut 2 lids, like on a cutting board: a deployer or a dispenser with a tool does it for you. A pickaxe on a block of tumblestone breaks it into 20 plates, and an ore that was mined with Silk Touch is mined again for its drops (Fortune works) and nuggets of experience. JEI and a Ponder scene show it all.
Two villagers take their job at the new blocks. The pirate Gilded Trader works at a gilded chest, one for each color: apricorns, Relic Coins and pouches for emeralds both ways, gilded chests, and maps to shipwreck coves and faraway places. The Apricorn Smith works at a Tumblestone Anvil, and sells lids, stencils, plates and Poke Balls. Both can be turned off in the config.







Potions, candies and vitamins
Show
Potions, status heals, elixirs and vitamins as liquids, poured with a spout.
Experience candies from XS to XL, molten exp. candy, IV candies, EV feathers and the Applin apples.





Cobblemon food, seasonings and fossils
Show
The campfire pot works in a heated Mechanical Mixer, up to three seasonings included.
Washing sand, gravel or soul sand in an encased fan has a tiny chance of a fossil.




Mechanical arm
Show
Create's mechanical arm can fill and empty the TM machine, the data monitor, the disc shelf, the gilded chest and the pasture block of Cobbreeding.

- Create: Enchantable Machinery: its harvester picks the Cobblemon crops without breaking them
- Create: Cobblestone: the Mega Meteorid Block of Mega Showdown works in its Mechanical Generator
- Create: Molten Vents: vents made of tumblestone and of origin, which make decorative blocks
- Cobbreeding: an egg filter for Create, and the pasture block works with the mechanical arm

Every compatibility can be turned off in the config.



Origin ore
Show
Origin ore is rare (ten times rarer than ancient debris) and hides in small veins in the Overworld and the Nether, and in the Aether and the Otherside with their mods (an End Stone Origin Ore and crystal cores for each dimension exist too, but they are only placed, never generated, except by Steamon Wilds). Only a netherite pickaxe (or a better tool), a Stratus pickaxe or a Warden pickaxe can mine it, and it drops 1 to 3 raw ores (Fortune works). Smelt a raw ore into an Origin Shard, then mix 4 shards, 2 netherite scrap and one Tumblestone, Sky Tumblestone and Black Tumblestone in a superheated Mechanical Mixer to get an Origin Ingot. The ingot makes armor trims, blocks of origin, a beacon base and the lid of the Ancient Origin Ball.
A Gimmighoul fed 999 coins, 255 netherite and 255 Origin Shards can evolve into a Gholdengo coated in origin: red, or purple like the Master Ball when shiny.
Support
This project is made purely for fun, like the Steamon community server. I am still a student without unlimited resources, and the mod takes a lot of my personal time. If you want to help me keep working on it, you can donate on Ko-fi. Honestly, every donation makes me really happy, and you also help the Steamon community continue its adventure on the Steamon SMP.

Many textures of this mod (fluids, stencils, balls, lids and other sprites) are copies or modified versions (recolored, mirrored, recomposed) of the textures of Create: Klinks n' Klangs by pixelsenpai, used under the CC BY 4.0 license. They stay under CC BY 4.0. pixelsenpai does not endorse this mod.
Assets of Create and Cobblemon were also used and modified: some fluid and bucket sprites come from Create, the grey ball sprites and the tumblestone textures from Cobblemon, and the lava cracks of the vents from Create: Molten Vents by Apothic0n. They remain the property of their authors.
The idea of the Slugma Burner comes from Create Slugma by R3charged. Its code, models and textures were made again for this mod, and the Slugma follows the model of the Slugma of Cobblemon by the Cobblemon Team. The cap that the Slugma wears with the straw is the liquid hat of Create Crafts and Additions by MRH0, used under the MIT license.
Optional compatibilities: Cobblemon: Mega Showdown, Create: Dragons Plus, Create: Enchantment Industry, Create: Enchantable Machinery, Create: Cobblestone, Create: Molten Vents, Cobbreeding, The Aether, Deep Aether, Deeper and Darker, Cobblemon Utility +, Nava's ZA Megas, Cobblemon Exp. All, Farmer's Delight, Neapolitan and Enchantment Descriptions.
Thanks to every modder whose work gave me the idea for this project and to the Steamon community for their help. Huge thanks to the Cobblemon Team and Create Team! I appreciate everything they do, and they do it well.
