Cobblemon Farmers: Turning Your Cobblemon Into a Productive Workforce
Imagine a Minecraft world where your favorite Cobblemon do more than just battle. Instead of standing idle, they chop wood, smelt ores, tend crops, or even shear fellow Pokemon. That is exactly what the Cobblemon Farmers mod brings to the table. This side mod for the popular Cobblemon mod transforms your team into a bustling crew of workers, each assigned to tasks that match their elemental type. Whether you are building a massive base or simply want to automate everyday chores, this mod adds a delightful layer of management and automation to your Cobblemon adventure.
What Exactly Is Cobblemon Farmers?
Cobblemon Farmers is a companion mod that lets you put your Pokemon to work around your base. Instead of being mere battle companions, each Cobblemon can be assigned to a specific workstation. The job they perform depends on their type, so a Fire-type might handle furnace recipes while a Water-type keeps your farmland hydrated. The mod is still in active development for the upcoming Society: Sunlit Cobblemon project, so you might encounter a few rough edges, but the core mechanics are already deeply satisfying.
Workstations and Their Roles
There are four main workstations where you can assign your Cobblemon, each catering to different needs. Here is a quick overview:
- Craft Station – Handles crafting and processing. Fire types smelt ores and cook meat, Fighting types chop down saplings, Steel types multiply ores, Bug types craft healing items, and Ice types duplicate crystals.
- Mystery Mine – Digs for valuable resources. Ground types unearth archaeology loot, Rock types mine overworld, nether, and skull cavern ores, Dragon types find gems and gold, and Ghost types gather mob drops.
- Ranching Station – Focuses on passive mob interactions. Normal types ranch Pokemon for forage and milking, while Fairy types magically shear them for drops.
- Gardening Station – Keeps your crops thriving. Water types water farmland in an area, Grass types accelerate crop growth, and Dark types defeat nearby Pokemon to harvest experience.
Worker Types and Elemental Assignments
Every assignment is tied to a Pokemon’s elemental type, making team composition matter beyond battle. Here is a more detailed breakdown of which type goes where and what they do:
- Fire – Craft Station: smelts furnace recipes, smokes fish (influenced by Special Attack).
- Fighting – Craft Station: chops trees from saplings (Attack for time, Special Defense for multiplier).
- Steel – Craft Station: multiplies ores and recycles items (Speed for time, Attack for multiplier).
- Bug – Craft Station: crafts healing goods (Defense).
- Ice – Craft Station: duplicates crystals (Special Attack).
- Ground – Mystery Mine: digs for archaeology loot (Defense).
- Rock – Mystery Mine: mines ores from multiple dimensions (Attack for time, Special Attack for multiplier).
- Dragon – Mystery Mine: finds gems and gold (Speed for time, HP for multiplier).
- Ghost – Mystery Mine: collects mob drops (Special Attack for time, Special Defense for multiplier).
- Water – Gardening Station: waters crops in an area (Special Attack).
- Grass – Gardening Station: grows crops in an area (Speed).
- Dark – Gardening Station: defeats Pokemon for experience (HP).
- Normal – Gardening Station: ranches Pokemon for forage and milking (Speed).
- Fairy – Gardening Station: magically shears Pokemon (Special Attack).
Some types like Flying, Psychic, Poison, and Electric are not yet fully implemented, but the mod is being expanded regularly.
Stat-Based Efficiency and Worker Caps
One of the most engaging aspects of Cobblemon Farmers is how your Pokemon’s stats directly influence their work speed and output. For example, a Rock-type miner with high Attack will complete tasks faster, while a high Special Attack can multiply the ores it digs up. This means that leveling up your workers and paying attention to their IVs or EVs becomes a strategic layer, not just a battle consideration.
To keep things balanced, the mod introduces worker caps. The number of Pokemon you can assign at once is tied to player attributes, which can be customized by modpack developers. This prevents the system from becoming overpowered and encourages thoughtful selection of your workforce.
Getting started with Cobblemon Farmers is refreshingly simple. The mod can be easily installed via the foxygame.net launcher — a convenient, flexible, and modern Minecraft launcher where you can download mods right from the menu, letting you jump into a world where your Pokemon pull their weight without any complicated setup.
