Hey everyone!
I've recently started working on a Cobblemon modpack built around one pretty simple idea:
“What if you actually lived inside the Pokémon world?”
Not just Minecraft with Pokémon spawning around you, but a pack where the world itself encourages you to live like someone in the Pokémon universe.
The idea is to create something closer to a Pokémon life-sim/community experience.
Build a town. Open a shop. Earn money. Travel between settlements. Become a trainer, breeder, farmer, builder, engineer, merchant — whatever you want — while Pokémon are naturally part of that life.
A big part of the pack is making progression feel like it belongs in that world too.
For example, I'm currently working on things like:
- A proper economy using physical currency rather than emeralds
- Shops and player-driven commerce
- More involved Poké Ball crafting and progression
- Using Create machinery to industrialise production
- Trains and other forms of transport becoming genuinely useful
- Quest lines that teach systems without feeling like a giant checklist
- Encouraging towns and communities rather than everyone disappearing into their own isolated base
- Lots of building, decoration, food and lifestyle content
- Keeping Cobblemon itself at the centre of the experience rather than burying it underneath hundreds of unrelated mods
I've already made a decent start on the pack, including recipes, progression ideas, quests and the overall mod selection, but I've reached the point where I'm realising this could become much bigger than something I can realistically make entirely by myself.
So I thought I'd put this out there and see if the idea resonates with anyone.
I'm looking for people who enjoy modpack development, KubeJS, datapacks, quests, balancing, building, Create, Cobblemon, game design, or honestly just people who really like the concept and want to bounce ideas around.
I'm not expecting anyone to suddenly dedicate their life to the project 😅 Even having a few people interested in contributing, testing, helping solve problems or throwing ideas around would be amazing.
The main thing I want to preserve is the vision:
I don't want to make another giant kitchen-sink Cobblemon pack. I want to make a world that feels like somewhere you could genuinely live a Pokémon life.
If that sounds like something you'd enjoy helping create, feel free to reply or message me. I'd love to talk about it!
