[Cobblemon] PocketMorph

BIG UPDATE 2.0.0!! Check change log for details!

PocketMorph is a Cobblemon transformation mod that lets players become Pokémon — visually, mechanically, and socially — instead of only wearing a simple disguise. Love Pokemon Mystery Dungeon-style gameplay? This mod is for you!

Transform into Pokémon, preview forms in a polished GUI, save favorites, roll random transformations, ride eligible transformed players, use Pokémon-inspired abilities, and even bring your own transformed Pokémon form into battle through PocketMorph’s self-battler system.

Highlights

• Transform into Cobblemon Pokémon with the PocketMorph GUI or /disguise command.
• Browse Pokémon and forms with a visual selector.
• Use a live preview with rotate, pan, zoom, shiny/gender toggles, type icons, ability badges, and stat summaries.
• Save favorite transformations and quickly load them later.
• Roll random transformations with optional form, shiny, gender, and scale randomization.
• Use forms, shiny variants, scale, nicknames, gender, level labels, and other validated Cobblemon-style properties.
• First-person transformed body rendering so you can look down and see your Pokémon form.
• Polished third-person visuals for local and remote players in multiplayer.
• Pokémon-inspired abilities such as flight, water breathing, swim boosts, fire resistance, lava movement, land-speed boosts, mining Haste, and Attack-based unarmed damage.
• Ride transformed players when the transformed Pokémon is already rideable through Cobblemon or loaded ride data.
• Use your transformed Pokémon as a self-battler in Cobblemon battles.
• Includes a Battler panel with portrait, status, held item/cosmetic actions, battle camera toggle, rescue/remove tools, and Use Item support.
• Pokédex-based transformation restrictions, whitelist/blacklist controls, scale limits, and readable configs for servers and modpacks.

Requirements

• Minecraft: 1.21.1
• Loader: Fabric
• Java: 21+
• Requires: Fabric API and Cobblemon
• Cobblemon: 1.7.3 or higher recommended
  • Cobblemon 1.7.0+ may work, but versions below 1.7.3 have not been fully tested.
• Multiplayer: install on both server and client instances for proper multiplayer functionality.

Getting Started

Open the transformation GUI with the assigned hotkey (editable in keybinds), or:

/disguise gui

Or use command-based transformations:

/disguise lucario
/disguise charizard shiny
/disguise arcanine form=hisuian
/disguise pikachu scale=0.6
/disguise nickname Guardian
/disguise clear

The GUI is the easiest way to browse Pokémon, forms, properties, Favorites, Random, and Live Preview options. Commands remain available for quick use, server scripts, and advanced players.

The PocketMorph GUI

The main GUI is built around a visual-first workflow:

1. Search for a base Pokémon.
2. Pick a form or variant.
3. Preview it live.
4. Adjust properties such as shiny, gender, scale, nickname, or displayed level.
5. Transform, favorite it, or roll something random.

The Live Preview supports mouse controls:

• Left-drag: rotate
• Right-drag: pan
• Mouse wheel: zoom
• Middle-click: reset preview

Self-Battlers

PocketMorph 2.0.0 adds the self-battler system. When enabled, your transformed Pokémon can be synced into your party and used in Cobblemon battles.

By default, the key to open the battler panel is the right-arrow on your keyboard, but can be edited in keybinds.

The Battler panel provides quick access to common actions, including:

• add/sync/remove battler;
• rescue tools;
• held item and cosmetic item actions;
• battle camera toggle;
• Use Item support for right-click-style items such as compatible TM disks.

PocketMorph includes safety guards to prevent self-battlers from being lost through storage, release, trade, or unsafe battle states.

Pokémon-Inspired Abilities

Depending on the current Pokémon form and server config, transformations can receive gameplay touches such as:

• flight for flying forms;
• water breathing and swim help for aquatic forms;
• fire resistance and lava movement help for Fire-type/fire-resistant forms;
• land speed boosts for fast grounded Pokémon;
• mining Haste for Ground-type Pokémon;
• unarmed damage bonuses based on base Attack.

These features are configurable so servers can choose how powerful transformations should be.

Built for Multiplayer and Modpacks

PocketMorph is designed for Cobblemon multiplayer environments. Other players can see your Pokémon form, scale, labels, riding state, held items, and battle-related visual state.

It also includes compatibility-focused handling for:

• addon/resource-pack forms;
• Mega and special forms;
• unusual model shapes;
• sparse animation sets;
• camera/raycast/throw-origin edge cases;
• server progression rules.

Server and Pack Controls

Server owners and modpack makers can configure:

• Pokédex requirements: any / seen / caught;
• creative-mode bypass;
• species whitelist and blacklist;
• shiny restrictions;
• scale limits;
• transformed hitbox behavior;
• ability strength and movement tuning;
• self-battler availability;
• riding rules;
• client/server visual defaults.

Generated configs include plain-English descriptions, defaults, ranges, and warnings for settings that can affect performance or gameplay.

Useful Commands

/disguise gui
/disguise <species> [properties]
/disguise clear
/disguise status

Compatibility Notes

• Camera mods may conflict with PocketMorph’s camera adjustments. Client config options are available if needed.
• Very large scale values can reduce FPS or make gameplay harder to control. Server scale limits are configurable.
• Mounted accessories/backpacks are intentionally hidden for compatibility with accessory mods that use custom renderers.
• PocketMorph is intended for Cobblemon-based modpacks and should be installed on both the server and client for multiplayer.
