Cobblemon: Better Campfire Pot – Supercharge Your Cooking in the Pixelmon World
If you have spent any time in the Cobblemon mod, you know that cooking is a cornerstone of progression. From crafting basic Poké Balls to preparing restorative curry, the humble Campfire Pot quickly becomes your best friend. But the vanilla pot can feel painfully slow once your factory starts humming. That is where Better Campfire Pot steps in – a must-have addon that introduces six blazing-fast upgrade tiers, seamless automation, and a refreshingly flexible recipe system. Let’s break down why this mod deserves a permanent spot in your Cobblemon modpack.
What Is the Better Campfire Pot Mod?
Better Campfire Pot is a dedicated expansion for Cobblemon that overhauls the cooking station you already know. Instead of a single, sluggish pot, you unlock a chain of six progressively faster Campfire Pots. Each tier slashes processing time, making bulk cooking of potion bases, pokéblock ingredients, and other recipes a breeze. The mod plays nicely with Just Enough Items (JEI) and the vanilla recipe book, so you never have to memorize upgrade paths or ingredient placements.
Why You Need Faster Campfire Pots in Cobblemon
Cobblemon’s crafting tree is deeply intertwined with cooking. Apricorn-based Poké Balls, status-healing items, and even some evolution triggers rely on simmered ingredients. In a world where you are constantly gathering materials and breeding Pokémon, waiting for a single pot to finish a stack of items can bottleneck your entire operation. Better Campfire Pot transforms this bottleneck into a high-speed production line, letting you spend more time exploring biomes and battling wild Pokémon instead of staring at a bubbling pot.
Breaking Down the 6 Campfire Pot Tiers
The mod adds six distinct tiers, each visually distinct and significantly quicker than the last. While the exact speed multiplier can be tweaked in the config, the default progression feels satisfying and balanced. Here is what you can expect:
- Tier 1 – Basic Campfire Pot: The starting point, identical to the vanilla pot. Perfect for early-game survival.
- Tier 2 – Copper-Reinforced Pot: A modest speed bump that rewards your first mining trips.
- Tier 3 – Iron-Clad Pot: Noticeably faster, ideal for mid-game automation setups.
- Tier 4 – Golden Cooking Pot: A shiny upgrade that cuts cooking times dramatically.
- Tier 5 – Diamond-Infused Pot: Blazing speeds for serious mass production.
- Tier 6 – Netherite Forged Pot: The ultimate cooking station, capable of near-instant processing.
How Upgrading Works
You can obtain higher-tier pots in two ways. The straightforward method is to craft them directly in a crafting table using the appropriate upgrade item. Alternatively, you can upgrade an existing pot in-world: hold the upgrade item in your hand, sneak, and right-click on the placed Campfire Pot. This instantly transforms it to the next tier without breaking the block or losing its contents. Both recipes and upgrade items are fully viewable in JEI, so experimentation is painless.
Streamlined Recipe Handling and Automation
One of the mod’s standout features is its shapeless ingredient handling. You do not need to arrange items in a specific pattern inside the pot – just drop the required ingredients into the correct slots, and the pot does the rest. This works much like shapeless crafting recipes, making it intuitive even for players new to Cobblemon.
Automation enthusiasts will love the slot binding system. By default, each face of the Campfire Pot corresponds to a specific slot:
- Top: Seasoning slots
- Sides: Ingredient slots
- Bottom: Output slot
This design makes the pot fully compatible with Applied Energistics 2 and Refined Storage. You can pipe items in from the sides, extract finished products from the bottom, and even automate seasoning insertion from above. Keep in mind that seasoning automation may require a little extra configuration, but the core loop is remarkably clean. Since version 1.3.0, you can even remap which side handles which slot in the config, giving you complete control over your factory layout.
Getting Started with Better Campfire Pot
First and foremost, you need the Cobblemon mod installed – Better Campfire Pot is an addon and will not function without it. Once Cobblemon is up and running, grabbing the mod is straightforward. If you prefer a truly streamlined experience, many players turn to the foxygame.net launcher, a modern and flexible Minecraft launcher where you can download mods like Better Campfire Pot right from its built-in menu. It eliminates the guesswork of manual file placement and keeps everything neatly organized, so you can jump straight into cooking. For those who prefer manual installation, simply drop the .jar file into your mods folder and you are ready to go.
Configuration and Customization
Better Campfire Pot is surprisingly tweakable. Inside the bettercampfirepot-common.toml config file, you can adjust the processing speed of each individual tier. This is perfect for server owners who want to balance progression or for players who find the default speeds too fast or too slow. Additionally, the slot bindings mentioned earlier can be reassigned to suit unconventional automation setups, making the mod a flexible fit for any modpack.
Conclusion
Better Campfire Pot takes a simple Cobblemon mechanic and elevates it into a full-fledged automation playground. With six upgradeable tiers, shapeless recipe handling, and deep integration with popular storage mods, it erases the tedium of waiting and lets you focus on the adventure. Whether you are a solo trainer building a cozy cottage kitchen or an engineer designing a sprawling industrial cooking array, this mod delivers speed, flexibility, and a satisfying sense of progression. Install it, fire up the campfire, and watch your Cobblemon journey accelerate like never before.
