Enhancing Your Cobblemon Adventure with Custom Minimap Icons
Exploring the vast world of Cobblemon is a thrilling experience, but tracking down every creature without a reliable visual aid can quickly become overwhelming. That is where the E19 - Cobblemon Minimap Icons pack steps in, transforming Xaero's Minimap into a vibrant, informative Pokemon radar. Whether you are hunting for a rare shiny or just want to know which monsters are lurking nearby, this resource pack adds crisp, recognizable icons that make navigation effortless.
What Exactly Does This Icon Pack Offer?
Designed specifically for the Cobblemon mod and Xaero's Minimap, this pack replaces generic entity blips with detailed Pokemon sprites. The icons are pulled directly from MBCMechachu's collection, with newer Indigo Disk Pokemon sprites contributed by Ezerart. This means you get a visually consistent set that matches the in-game models, making it easy to identify species at a glance. The pack even includes unmarked shiny versions, so you will never accidentally walk past a differently colored variant.
One of the most impressive aspects is the sheer breadth of form variations covered. From regional forms to cosmetic differences like Vivillon patterns, every Cobblemon form gets its own unique icon. This attention to detail ensures that your minimap remains accurate regardless of which biome or dimension you are exploring.
Key Features at a Glance
- Full set of Cobblemon icons for Xaero's Minimap, including shinies
- Supports all official Cobblemon form variations and regional forms
- Compatible with a massive list of popular addon packs
- Simple configuration to show only Pokemon entities
- Ongoing updates, with a big icon version planned
How to Install and Configure the Pack
Getting the icons to appear on your minimap involves two straightforward steps: placing the resource pack in the correct folder and tweaking the minimap settings. First, download the E19 - Cobblemon Minimap Icons pack from the official source. If you prefer a streamlined setup, this 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. Once the pack is in your resourcepacks folder, activate it in the game's resource pack menu.
Now, you need to ensure the icons are always visible. Enter any world and press the Y key to open the Minimap Settings. Navigate to Entity Radar Settings and change Display Icons to Always. You can also adjust the Entity Icon Scale slider to a size that feels comfortable on your screen. Without this step, icons might only appear when you are very close, defeating the purpose of a radar.
Displaying Only Pokemon Icons
By default, the minimap radar shows all nearby entities, including passive animals, monsters, and players. To declutter the display and focus exclusively on Cobblemon, you need to edit a configuration file. Navigate to .minecraft/config/xaero/minimap and open default_radar_categories_client.json with a text editor. Find the line "hardInclude": "anything" and replace it with "hardInclude": "nothing". Then locate "includeList": [] and change it to "includeList": ["cobblemon:pokemon"]. Save the file and restart your game. Now your minimap will only show Pokemon icons, making shiny hunts and rare spawn tracking much more efficient.
Compatibility and Load Order
If you use other resource packs that modify Cobblemon models or textures, the load order matters. The Combee MC Remodel pack should always be placed above this icon pack in your resource pack list. All other addon packs, such as those adding new Pokemon species or form changes, should be placed under this pack. This hierarchy prevents icon conflicts and ensures that every creature displays the correct sprite.
The pack officially supports an extensive roster of Cobblemon addons, covering both popular and niche expansions. Some highlights from the supported list include AllTheMons, Mega Showdown, CobbleCats, MissingMons, MysticMons, OdysseyMons, and many more. Whether you are playing with just a handful of extra monsters or a sprawling collection of fakemon, the icon pack has you covered.
Supported Addon Packs (Partial List)
- AllTheMons and its Mega Showdown variants
- Cobblemon: Mega Showdown and Radiants
- CobbleCats, Cobbled Variants, and Cobblemon Cafe
- Alphabet Soup, Ascension Megamons, Baby Legends
- GenoMons, HiddenMons, LackingMons, MissingMons
- MysticMons, OdysseyMons, Pigeon's PokePack
- SaltMons, The Jewel Pokemon, Torterras O' Plenty, WaviMons
Even lesser-known addons like Colorable Forretress Shulker Boxes, Eternal Floette Flower Expansion, and Rotom Appliances receive dedicated icons. This thorough support makes the pack a must-have for anyone running a heavily modded Cobblemon instance.
Why This Pack Belongs in Every Cobblemon Player's Toolkit
The E19 - Cobblemon Minimap Icons pack does more than just decorate your minimap; it fundamentally improves the way you interact with the world. No more squinting at tiny entity dots or accidentally skipping over a rare form because the default icon was too generic. With clear, game-accurate sprites and a straightforward configuration, you gain a powerful tool for exploration, collection, and competitive breeding.
Combine this pack with the proper radar settings, and your minimap becomes a living Pokedex tracker. The ability to filter out non-Pokemon entities means you can keep your eyes on the prize without distraction. And with a big icon version on the horizon, the visual clarity is only going to get better. Whether you are a server admin looking to enhance the player experience or a solo adventurer chasing that elusive shiny, this icon pack is an essential addition to your Minecraft modding setup.
