SimpleTMs: TMs and TRs for Cobblemon

SimpleTMs allows players to teach moves to their Pokémon in Cobblemon using TMs and TRs.

Disclaimer : Version 2.0.0 is for Cobblemon 1.6; Version 2.0.2 is for Cobblemon 1.6.1. Make sure you install the correct version. There is a backport available for Cobblemon 1.5.2 as well

Features

TM and TR Usage

• TMs: Teach a specific move to a Pokémon. By default, TMs have 32 uses and can optionally be enchanted with Unbreaking and Mending using an anvil.
• TRs: Function similarly but break after a single use.
• TMs and TRs with assigned moves (not blank ones) are used like most Cobblemon items. A screen will appear, allowing the player to choose a Pokémon from their party if it can learn the move.
• TMs and TRs display tooltips with move details, including description, type, and more.
• Tooltips also list all Pokémon that can learn the move, scrollable while hovering over the item.
• By default, Pokémon can learn moves from their TM, Tutor, and Egg Move groups.
  • Check Bulbapedia for a detailed list of what moves a Pokémon can learn.

Blank TM and TR Usage

• Blank TMs and TRs allow players to imprint a move onto them.
• When used, they let the player select a Pokémon from their party and a move from its moveset.
• Blank TMs create a TM of the selected move, while Blank TRs create a TR of the selected move.
• By default, any move can be imprinted onto a blank TM or TR.

Obtaining TMs and TRs

• Crafting:
  • Blank TMs and TRs can be crafted as shown below.

• Loot Chests:
  • TRs (and rarely TMs) can be found in chests in various Minecraft structures like villages, ruined portals, etc.
  • The type of TRs that drop depends on the loot location (e.g., Fire-type moves in Nether chests, Normal-type moves in village chests).
  • Additional integration with Pokeloot (Modrinth) allows more ways to obtain TMs and TRs if that datapack is installed.

• Pokémon Drops:
  • TRs (and rarely TMs) can drop when a Pokémon faints. This is the main way to obtain TMs and TRs in Cobblemon.
  • In Battle: Players can choose 1 of 4 random moves from the Pokémon’s learnset.
  • Outside Battle: A random move is chosen automatically.
  • This encourages battling Pokémon instead of simply defeating them outside of combat.

• Drop Rates (Default):
  • TRs: 10% chance when a Pokémon faints.
  • TMs: 1% chance when a Pokémon faints.

• Note: This option is not encouraged. To remove TM and TR items, set this to true and remove entries from the config/simpletms/moves/default_tr_moves.json and config/simpletms/moves/default_tm_moves.json files. This will prevent the items from being added to the game, but it will not remove existing items from the world or player inventories.This also prevents you from accessing servers with those items. For servers that remove entries, be aware tha players can still see the items in jei if they did not remove it from their configs. THey cannot get these items however, so it is purely visual

Excluding Moves

To exclude moves from either Pokémon drops, Blank TMs, or TM Learning, add the move to the relevant excluded moves json file located in the config/simpletms/moves/ folder. This file contains a list of moves to exclude from the mod's functionality. For example, to exclude the move Ember from pokemon drops, add the following to the excluded_moves_from_pokemon_drops.json file:

[
  {
    "moveName": "ember"
  }
]
