The people behind Cobblemon

[@Cygnus_MC]

CURRENTLY LIVE FOR THE NEXT 24H, head on over to kzbin.infoe0fiUbmsmT4

[@SimisearOfficial]

I think the feature I want most in Cobblemon is being able to ride Pokemon. It’s probably my favorite feature in Pixelmon

[@SayoriMCiscool2017]

Like mounts and faster travel. Don't any of y'all get all funny and say: "WhAT Do YoU mEaN BY ThAT?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??! 🤨🤨🤨👀👀👀❗❗" That shit ain't funny.

[@മദ്യപാനം]

It would also be really cool if you could use item based pokemon in your hotbar, like using Honedge as an actual sword

[@ARandomEliatrope]

@@SayoriMCiscool2017 ok but *riding* pokemon 🤤🤤🤤

[@MeloniestNeon]

@@മദ്യപാനം That would actually work GREAT as a cursed sword style item, seeing as honedge canonically drains the lifeforce of whoever holds it. I also imagine you could use Aegislash in your offhand as a shield and a sword in your main hand!

[@karhanen2]

what cobblemon doesnt have mounts? nah then im sticking with pixelmon

[@ApolJooce]

The foundation for this mod feels unbreakable. The modeling, battle system, item system etc. feel so, so good. I think once this mod gets more content it'll be the definitive Pokemon mod.

[@OneOnlyDan]

My favourite part of the mod is the part where they are trying to implement the Pokémon into the survival experience as opposed to Pixelmon that effectively replaces the vanilla game with itself.

[@richardkirkland6805]

Yeah! And it makes sense that you could take a break form the battle for something more immediate, such as a creeper about to explode in your face, or a skeleton shooting at you.

[@Diamoondust]

sure, but if i'm being honest, I would much rather have the pokemon replace the mobs, and either have some of them attack you like mobs (voltorb could be a creeper) or drop mob drops upon being caught or defeated. I would rather play without mobs than with them, tbh, but that's just me. @richardkirkland6805

[@OneOnlyDan]

@@Diamoondust Pretty sure you will be able to do just that in the future. I haven't touched the current release very much, but I know that the previous release featured Pokemon that drops vanilla materials, like Geodude dropping flint. The devs have also mentioned that Pokemon will be able to attack other mobs in the future, and that most certainly includes you too. As long as there's a gamerule that lets you toggle only the vanilla hostile mobs or somebody makes an addon that does that for you, you should be able to get the experience you described at some point.

[@riztiz]

​@@DiamoondustCobblemon drops vanilla items. You can turn off mob spawning

[@Diamoondust]

@@riztiz sure, but i think they should give some pokemon semi vanilla mob behavior outside battle to integrate them in the game if that makes sense, like voltorbs/gravelers rolling and exploding, spinaraks/joltiks acting like spiders maybe, etc.

Totally!! You put in “suggestion” in pixelmon’s discord and you get a 👍 but I put a suggestion in the cobblemon’s discord and I LEGIT got an answer the next day! “Yes, no, planned, maybe” all it takes is one of four answers to create a healthy, happy community.

[@richardkirkland6805]

Cobblemon is my favorite Pokémon mod, in fact it might just be my favorite Minecraft mod period

[@fernandoportal5422]

[@richardkirkland6805]

I was thinking about making a channel dedicated to talking to famous mod developers exactly like you did! Keep going! I would love to hear more about other developers (like Applied Energistics, Mekanism, Thermal etc..), also adding more stuff in the screen like references would be even better to watch, thank you! Edit: didn't see the video about IC2!

Great minds think alike! Id love to see you try aswell, we need more positive people in the space.

[@awildvaporeon391]

I remember back in the day asking the mod leader at the time of Pixelmon why they where switching to the 3d models as I personally thought they looked horrible and where laggy.He basicaly told me "this is the future of minecraft stfu ".Im glad we now have a mod that looks good now...

[@mattlol2334]

Haven’t tried this mod yet, but still really hype to dive into it soon. Their dev team all seem like genuinely nice ppl and hope they continue to develop Cobblemon!

[@Toxicinator]

as soon as this mod has trainers the potential will absolutely explode

[@piero8927]

I feel like cobblemon will be top tier once the moves have animations and effects

[@GrimmSmile]

Can't wait for the update that adds structures and biomes! As a person who tries to always overdo modpacks, I tend to get too carried away with trying to make the terrain generation/biomes and structure mods be exciting on an extreme level. To the point where it either kills the performance or always has problems on a server. So if they officially add biomes/structures at the very least, it would make it a lot easier to build a modpack around it!

[@plazma6826]

Hey I figured i’d give some insight here. I’ve worked around Cobblemon and Pixelmon in minecraft servers for the past 2 years, and I can say right now that Pixelmon has a bigger community and a lot more features around it. It is thought kind of unfair to compare due to cobblemon still being fairly new. While you can get all your favorite pixelmon plugins such as GtS, Wondertrade, Battletower, etc for free, you need to commission a lot of stuff for Cobblemon due to it being so new and not a lot of people being super devoted to making stuff for it. That being said, i think the creativity and quality of cobblemon exceeds pixelmon. Cobblemon has a lot of cool concepts that are relevant to the Minecraft style/theme, and I am eager to see how they build on that. Don’t get me wrong, the pixelmon models are really cool too, they just don’t fit the minecraft theme. (But you can make custom textures) I think it’s also important to note stability. Pixelmon was built wayyyy back when and has been edited and tinkered with all the way up to 1.20, which converting old mods, if not done right, can lead to issues; whereas cobblemon was built on 1.19 (i think), thus making the code not as old. (Keep in mind after 1.12.2, Minecraft switched its coding “format” idrk know the right word) I could go on, but I think both mods are fantastic and am eager to see how this all plays out. Just need cobblemon to catch up.

[@Merenq]

Great video!! I'm one of the people that helps with translating the mod into other languages, and it was really nice to hear the interview (especially the flaws part, it's very helpful to hear that even the lead devs have troubles sometimes) I really hope that one day Cobblemon will be as popular as Pixelmon is. It deserves the attention, even if the mod is pretty new :]

[@splitsee2526]

i hope they have each pokemon have a unique effect on minecraft vanilla gameplay and make it more intergrated with the actual vanilla game, of course the pokemon game will always be much bigger than minecraft vanilla but i hope they have enough to not feel disconnected from the vanilla game, but as for me my computer is awfully slow so i cant run even vanilla so i definitely have to wait until next year, but i hope i get to play this whenever i get the actual good pc.

[@Mallowu]

really nice video:) very nicely conducted and strong points. Im a member of the build team and i couldn’t be more proud of my friends at this team. they do some amazing work that i havent seen at even AAA studios.

[@kiarasha1106]

The barrier of entry is tiny in all mods, but still it's a lot of effort so that's cool!

[@PotatoSofi]

In the beginning, Pixelmon had the minecrafty-style, but it went away... And that was their fatal mistake. Cobblemon did minecraft pokemon right.

[@KrakatonMain]

6:34 "so that people don't see the Pokemon as data, and instead see them as companions" THIS THIS THIS THIS ***THIS*** When people say "you know there are better games you could play than Pokemon, right?" I think they just don't understand WHY we love Pokemon. Yes, the gameplay and stories could often times be a lot better. But when a new Pokemon game is coming up, do you hear ANYONE saying "oh boy I cannot wait to experience this storyline"? Because I sure don't. It's always about the new Pokemon and their designs, moves, abilities, etc. That is the *primary* reason we love Pokemon; we love the Pokemon themselves. Now don't get me wrong; having just had credits roll on my replay of Black version as I replay gens 1-6 and finally play Sun version for gen 7, I have had plenty of gripes about the gameplay and/or story of each game. BW definitely still have the strongest overall structure imo, but it's not like they're exactly "perfect". I wish the games were better; I really do. But the reason I wish they were better - and why I am so critical of them at times - is because I love Pokemon so much, and I want to see it live up to its full potential. I'm still sad that I cannot find a single game, fangame, or mod that has all of my team members from across these different playthroughs. But it's looking more and more like Cobblemon will be the one to keep my eye on for that. One day, I'll make a single-player world where I can have a ranch with all of my team members recreated, and I can just... enjoy being with them. They're my partners. I used to play the games the same way every time. No nicknames, over-level, almost never use status moves, "optimized" typings for my team, re-using Pokemon I'd already had before, and ultimately just playing the game in what I now consider to be the "wrong" way. But after I attempted a Nuzlocke in Sapphire, I really changed. I had to use whatever I could find and work with it. Everything got a nickname. Battles had actual stakes and presented real challenges. Instead of just "getting my numbers to be big enough", I had to strategize and figure out how I was going to overcome these hurdles. I skipped over Gen 7 bc I just kept putting it off. X version really burnt me out with how awful it was, especially after just having the AMAZING experience that was Gen 5. But I got back in with Sword version about a year after its release. And this time, I played the game "right". I nicknamed ***every*** Pokemon in that. I had a full LIVING DEX of nicknamed Pokemon for the base game and both DLCs (excluding once-per-game Mons, which I represented with Dittos named "Zamazenta" and "Kubfu"). That ALONE was a challenge. But also? I didn't plan my team out. I just kinda caught whoever and saw which ones "earned" their place on the team. And you know what? It made that playthrough WAY more fun than it would have been otherwise. I've since played Brilliant Diamond, Legends: Arceus, and Scarlet the same way with NO repeat Pokemon. And now I've done Red and Gold via 3DS VC (I have GB carts but I wanted to get every member to Home), Sapphire, LeafGreen, Diamond, HeartGold, and now Black (in which I actually recreated Black's team from the manga and named my Trainer "Black" instead of after myself). I have a few games left, and I'll admit that I am *dreading* X & Sun. But I'm still enjoying this marathon, and I'm still going strong. I... actually had a thought the other day. I imagined "what if all of my team members that I've moved up to Scarlet got lost? If my Switch got lost or destroyed, I could NEVER recover them if they weren't already safely back in Home" bc you can't back-up your save data for Pokemon (it's to prevent cloning, but still). And when I thought about that... I actually started crying. That's how much these little guys mean to me now. All of the old game playthroughs have been within less than a single year, and yet they feel like I've had them ever since I first played those games. They're no longer a bunch of 1s and 0s to me. They really are like living, breathing creatures. And even though I know they lack any and all ability to perceive me irl, bringing them out for a picnic in Scarlet and seeing the little friendship hearts makes me so happy. Like they recognize me from their original journeys. I'm so happy to see the Cobblemon devs really understand just what it is that makes Pokemon "Pokemon". I really cannot wait to see where this mod goes.

I think my one biggest problem with Cobblemon so far is just its complete disconnect with the rest of the entire game. Sure you can build a crazy team and put tons of resources into it but what will that team do for you in-game outside of letting you fight Pokémon in the overworld that aren't an actual threat to you, the player? In earlier versions, shoulder mount did provide you with buffs, but now that's gone in preparation for the rework, well...there's kind of nothing to gain from putting anything into Cobblemon.

[@solgerWhyIsThereAnAtItLooksBad]

Fr. It was just minecraft with random guys walking around doing nothing

[@mjb8714]

It's hard to remember that the mod is still in its infancy. Towns, dungeons, rideable mounts, reworked shoulder mounts, and + plus a ton more are in the wood works. When those are said and done you'll have more of an objective/reason to interact with Pokemon. Hope that helps!

i dont get why people treat cobblemona s if its unique, "pokecube" has been doing the "pokemon but in minecraft style" like before pixelmon was even made, hell even pixelmon had "pokemon but in minecraft style" when it first started out also, pokecube allows you to use your pokemon, to fight any mob, and you can ride them(all have unique aniamtions), and you can use them as "willing" workers, like running a farm for you, or if you have an electric type, powering your machines(if you have blocks/machines, that require RF or whatever), and if you have rayquaza, you can do "mega gigantamax z moves"(although im pretty sure in one of the recent updates the dev made it so if your mega evolved, you cant gigantamax at the same time anymore, not sure)

Hey, I don't know if this comment will be read by the channel or even by the developers themselves, but I have a question as someone who hasn't used this mod yet but loves playing Pokémon a lot and is interested in trying this out out once I'll have time from college again. Since you guys also play Scarlet and Violet, do you also use the new overworld animations as reference material when applicable to your art style? I do think that they opened my eyes a lot on how these creatures would actually act like how Joltik jumps around like a jumping spider or bird Pokémon actually being able to land and walk around (something I saw with the Staravia presented. not to imply GF would have been first actually thinking of doing that after what they did in Gen 6 or that wasn't your own idea).

[@plastered_crab]

Hi there! We do get inspiration from all over the place actually and are a fan of the new animations as well. We currently are doing basic sleep, walk, run, faint, idle, and battle idle anims for every pokemon which takes a lot of time, but for pokemon that don't have any of those they walk very basic (like Joltik). I know for Joltik especially we want it to be a cute little hop when it moves around so I hope you like what the team cooks up as time goes on :)

[@michaelsuggsvo]

Hello, ex-Pixelmon developer from way back when before the DMCA (DJ_FluXxX of the GTS and PixelExtras sidemods). Personally, I will always hold a place in my heart for Pixelmon as I was directly involved and Pokemon itself was what took precedent to me in this mod than Minecraft. That being said, I don't directly like either team or the people on them. Part of that is as coders, we're generally very egotistical and when it comes to deciding on what to include there is a lot of head-butting and some people are more favorably considered than others (look at that TCG sidemod infused in the main mod now). Pixelmon was always against servers being highly p2w through use of the mod but the largest perpetrators were other developers or managers of the mod back in the day, they were allowed to run their servers as they deemed fit. This is where the claim of malicious code comes in. Technically it wasn't malicious code itself but a backdoor/blacklist that took information about the server the mod was loaded on and could be remotely blocked from loading the mod, which is a malicious practice. Hiroku was one of those original team members as well though during all of this. I don't know how they're treated now (apparently Isi sent the devs custom metal TCG cards for christmas one year) but when I was on the team we were strictly forbidden from monetizing anything we coded regarding the mod.

[@michaelsuggsvo]

Otherwise, this video is a great showcase of the Cobblemon mod and information behind the whys of their decisions for it. I am still following it myself to see where it goes but if Pixelmon ever dies I have a different objective/place to go after.

Odd, i dont understand how really. But ill keep it in mind!

[@Nimbrisk]

its so sad to hear about the horrible things the developers did :(

[@Cygnus_MC]

The cobblemon devs didn't do anything horrible?

[@Nimbrisk]

thats the point of the comment my friend.@@Cygnus_MC

[@aashishmisra9683]

​@@Cygnus_MCi think he is talking about pixelmon devs

[@Cygnus_MC]

@@aashishmisra9683 yeah thag might be it

[@michaelsuggsvo]

@@Cygnus_MCHiroku was one of those devs previously. Some of the other Cobblemon team were too.

[@UltraLaggy]

i love cobblemon, but my only problem with pokemon mods is that the pokemon and minecraft progression feel seperate. you need to stop doing one to continue another, and i think they should work better together.

[@GrimmSmile]

Someone could probably make an addon mod/datapack that could integrate this but it would definitely need to be maintained, since future updates of cobblemon will definitely break it easily, Most likely.

Even back in the day ive never been a huge fan of Pixelmon they say Pixelmon but it's just generic 3D models....

This commentary is really bad lol, glad someone interviewed the team though lol

[@Cygnus_MC]

Thanks?

[@tirelessfrog916]

@@Cygnus_MC your commentary just didn't add much of substance. If you can remove the commentary and end up with all the same takeaways as with the commentary, something has to give

[@Cygnus_MC]

@@tirelessfrog916 yeah I was more trying to connect the pieces of the interviews together

[@tirelessfrog916]

@@Cygnus_MC fair, and in that you succeed, but I think it also smells a bit of some biased reporting with respect to opinions. Good editing and a genius idea in the interviews, maybe just some work on trying to iron out and style (e.g. informative reporting, persuasive, etc.) And sticking to it

[@Cygnus_MC]

@@tirelessfrog916 yeah great idea! Thanks for the feedback! I really do appreciate it

i got muted in the cobblemon discord server for "starting arguments" by saying that i think needing a ghast tear and a max revive for the healing station recipe is unecessary after i got unmuted i pinged the guy who muted me and asked him why he muted me for something i didnt do and i got permanently banned for "starting arguments with staff" made an appeal and it got declined in seconds by the guy who banned me remember that your favourite mod might be good but theres a chance the people working behind it are a big bunch of snowflakes

[@anom2619]

Was it from a server moderator with the red name? If so something along the exact lines happened to me lmao. Got muted for an unknown reason, DMed the guy who muted me asking what I did wrong and what rule I broke, didn't even reply, blocked me and banned me for "spamming staff dms" lmfao

[@EggcatG]

@@anom2619 Red tag, name was something like Tim, can't really remember.

[@anom2619]

@@EggcatG Same guy LMAO. Looks like somebody gets off a bit too much from their discord moderation powers.

[@EggcatG]

@@anom2619 that's honestly a bit sad but there u have it lol, no matter how great the product every server will still have that one pissbaby that has to go and ruin it

[@Cygnus_MC]

I actually became part of the cobblemon team recently, they seem like a bunch of nice guys
