BotanyPots – Cobblemon Integrations: Grow Your Cobblemon Crops in Style
Minecraft modding constantly finds new ways to blend mechanics from different worlds, and the Cobblemon mod is a perfect example. It brings Pokemon-inspired creatures into the blocky universe, complete with berries, apricorns, and mints that you’d normally need sprawling farms to produce. But what if you could shrink that entire agricultural operation down to a single block? That’s exactly where the BotanyPots – Cobblemon Integrations datapack steps in. It bridges the Botany Pots mod with Cobblemon, letting you cultivate every essential plant inside compact, self-contained pots. No more endless rows of farmland — just efficient, decorative growing stations that fit into any base.
If you’ve ever juggled dozens of berry trees or struggled to keep mints organized, this datapack is a game-changer. It adds 90 crop recipes that work right inside Botany Pots, covering everything from common Oran berries to rare Starf berries, all seven apricorn colors, and even specialty items like the Revival Herb. The growth times are balanced at 1200 ticks per cycle — that’s 60 seconds — so you’re not waiting forever, and every drop is configurable to match your server’s economy or personal playstyle.
What Makes This Integration Special?
The core idea is simple: take the Botany Pots mod, which already lets you grow vanilla crops, trees, and modded plants in a single-block pot, and teach it how to handle Cobblemon flora. The datapack does that with custom JSON recipes, meaning you don’t need a separate mod — just the datapack dropped into your world. It’s lightweight, compatible with existing worlds, and works across Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge depending on your Botany Pots version.
One standout feature is support for the MegaShowdown addon. If you have that installed, you’ll unlock a recipe for Max Mushroom, a key item for Mega Evolution mechanics. The pack also handles all the heavy lifting with drop chances: you can tweak how many berries you get per harvest, the odds of rare seeds, and even adjust growth time per crop. This level of customization makes it a favorite for modpack creators and server admins who want to fine-tune progression without touching complex configs.
Complete Crop Roster
With 90 recipes, you’re covered for virtually every Cobblemon plant. Here’s how they break down:
- Berries (68 types): From Aguav to Yache, including all the competitive staples like Sitrus, Lum, and the stat-boosting Petaya, Salac, and Liechi berries.
- Apricorns (7 types): Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Red, White, and Yellow — everything you need for crafting Poke Balls.
- Mints (6 types): Blue, Cyan, Green, Pink, Red, and White mints to adjust your Pokemon’s nature.
- Other Plants (8 types): Big Root, Galarica Twig, Hearty Grains, Medicinal Leek, Pep-Up Flower, Revival Herb, Saccharine Sapling, and Vivichoke.
- MegaShowdown (1 type): Max Mushroom, only if the addon is present.
Each plant uses its own JSON file, so you can easily disable or modify any recipe without affecting others. The folder structure is clean: data/botanypots/recipe/cobblemon/crops/ and data/botanypots/recipe/mega_showdown/crops/. Just open the file for the berry you want to tweak and change the numbers.
Installation and Setup
Getting started is straightforward. First, make sure you have Minecraft 1.21.1 or newer, the Botany Pots mod, and Cobblemon. MegaShowdown is optional. Then download the datapack ZIP — no external links needed, just grab it from the official CurseForge page. Place the ZIP file into your world’s datapacks folder, located at .minecraft/saves/[YourWorldName]/datapacks/. Once that’s done, either restart the world or run /reload in-game. You can verify the datapack loaded with /datapack list.
For players who prefer a more integrated experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a convenient, flexible, and modern Minecraft launcher where you can download mods and datapacks right from the menu. It streamlines the process, letting you install BotanyPots – Cobblemon Integrations alongside its dependencies with just a few clicks, without ever digging through file directories.
Customizing Your Pots
Every recipe is an open book. Inside the datapack, you’ll find JSON files that define three key parameters: grow_time (in ticks, default 1200), chance (probability of each drop), and minRolls/maxRolls (how many items you get per harvest). Want a berry to produce twice as much but take twice as long? Change the numbers. Want a mint to drop only 50% of the time? Adjust the chance. No programming knowledge needed — just a text editor and a quick /reload.
This flexibility means you can create a balanced farming system for your server. Maybe you want rare berries to be genuinely rare, or you want to boost yields for a skyblock-style map where resources are scarce. The datapack doesn’t lock you into a single progression path; it gives you the tools to build your own.
Why You Should Try It
BotanyPots – Cobblemon Integrations solves a real problem for Cobblemon players: space management. Instead of dedicating entire chunks to berry orchards, you can line a wall with pots and have a fully automated farm that looks clean and modern. The aesthetic alone is worth it — watching a pot sprout a fully grown berry bush in a minute is oddly satisfying. Plus, because it’s a datapack, it doesn’t add any new blocks or items that could conflict with other mods. It simply teaches existing pots new tricks.
Modpack makers will appreciate the MIT license, which allows free use in any pack, public or private. And if you’re just a solo player looking to streamline your Cobblemon adventure, this datapack removes the grind without feeling cheaty. The balanced growth times keep you engaged, and the configurable drops mean you can tailor the experience to your liking.
In a game where automation and efficiency often rule, BotanyPots – Cobblemon Integrations hits a sweet spot. It’s practical, pretty, and deeply customizable. Whether you’re breeding competitive Pokemon or just collecting every berry for the fun of it, this datapack will keep your pots productive and your base clutter-free.
