Cobblemon Poképedia: Cobblepedia in All the Mons

Cobblemon Poképedia: Cobblepedia is an in-game wiki book for Cobblemon, built with Patchouli. It brings information from the official Cobblemon wiki into a book you can open while you play, and it also tracks the advancements Cobblemon adds. If you're new to Cobblemon, or you just don't want to alt-tab to a browser every time you wonder how something works, this one is for you.^[1]

What's inside

The mod lists custom UI textures that match Cobblemon's look, advancements, crafting recipes and a basic tutorial. The book is split into categories, and the ones that show up in this pack's sources include Getting Started, Agriculture, Archaeology, Commands, Items, Pokémon and Structures. There are also entries for individual items, such as the Ancient Poké Balls and the apricorn wood blocks.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]}

Getting your copy

There are a few ways to get the book. You receive it by completing the "Choosing a Starter Pokémon" advancement, and you can also craft it. In creative mode, it's on the Tools and Utilities tab.^[1]

Version and status

The pack's mod list shows Cobblepedia 0.7.0, with the file Cobblepedia-NeoForge-0.7.1.jar. The mod needs Patchouli and Cobblemon to work. The author has archived the project and says it won't get further major updates, since they moved on to the newer Cobblemon Knowlogy mod. So some entries may lag behind the latest Cobblemon changes.^[1][11]

Unverified No source shows this mod on the ATM Star path or tied to any quest in this pack. Treat it as an optional reference book, not a progression step.

Welcome in! Your first stop in this pack is the Poképedia, an in-game wiki book that shows information from the official Cobblemon wiki and tracks the advancements Cobblemon adds. It also includes a basic tutorial. Keep it handy, because the rest of your early game runs through it.^[1]

Your first steps, in order

1. Grab the book. According to the mod's description, you receive it by completing the Choosing a Starter Pokémon advancement. It can also be found in creative mode on the Tools and Utilities tab.^[1]
2. Know what you're here for. Pokémon can be found across all biomes at varying levels. You catch them with Poké Balls and use them to battle other Pokémon.^[12]
3. Start collecting apricorns. They grow in a variety of colors on apricorn trees, and they are used to craft most Poké Balls, so they are your first resource.^[12]
4. Craft your first Poké Balls. There are 48 variants in total, and 46 of them can be obtained by crafting. Start with the 7 basic balls, which are what the A Full Palette advancement asks for.^[12]

The Premier Ball is one of those 7 basic balls, and it is relatively easy to make. Unlike in the original Pokémon games, where you could only get it by buying 10 other Poké Balls at shops, you can craft it in Cobblemon.^[12]

Unverified The mod's own description says the Poképedia can also be crafted with a book and any apricorn, but this pack's recipes for the book could not be confirmed. Don't count on crafting it, and use the starter advancement instead.

This one is a short section, and that's on purpose. Cobblepedia is an in-game Poképedia book built with Patchouli, and the sources describe no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation for it. There's nothing to wire up or pipe in.^[1]

What the book actually does

The book shows information from the official Cobblemon wiki and tracks the advancements Cobblemon adds. Its features are custom UI textures that match Cobblemon's look, advancements, crafting recipes and a basic tutorial.^[1]

It requires Patchouli and Cobblemon. Patchouli provides the book functionality, and Cobblemon provides the content the book explains.^[1]

How the book is organized

Entries are grouped into categories such as getting started, Pokémon, items, agriculture, archaeology, structures, commands and Cobblemon add-ons. Poké Balls, consumables, evolution items and held items also have their own categories.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][13][14][15][16][17]}

The archaeology category is the closest the book gets to machinery. It says you can bring fossils back to life with a Restoration Machine. That machine belongs to Cobblemon, not to this book, and the sources don't explain how it works.^[12]

Good to know

• The project page says Cobblepedia is archived and will not get further major updates. Its developer moved on to a newer mod, Cobblemon Knowlogy, which also puts the wiki info into an in-game book.^[1]
• The book describes Cobblemon's content and may lag behind it. For example, it says there are 48 Poké Ball variants, 46 of them obtainable by crafting.^[1][12]

This one is short, and that's on purpose. The sources I have for this mod only show the names of the in-game guide pages, not what they say, so I won't make up a progression path for you.^[18]

What I can confirm is how the in-game guide is organized. It has a Poké Ball tiers entry with separate sections for the first, second, third and fourth tiers, the highest tier, and untiered balls. There are also separate guide entries for basic balls, apricorn balls and ancient balls.^{[9][10][18][19]}

Cobblemon also has advancements for crafting base balls, apricorn balls, ancient balls and all balls. They line up with those guide entries, but I can't see their requirements here.^{[9][10][18][19]}

Unverified Which balls belong to which tier, how to craft them in this pack, and any quest that points you to the guide are all unconfirmed. I have no quest or recipe data for this mod, so there are no recipes to show. Open the in-game guide for the tier details.

All the Mons 1.3.0 includes Cobblemon Poképedia: Cobblepedia 0.7.0, and the mod has been in the pack since All the Mons 0.3.0-beta or earlier.^[11]

One thing to know if you check your mods folder: the jar in this pack is named Cobblepedia-NeoForge-0.7.1.jar, even though the pack lists the mod as 0.7.0. The only mod changelog I have is the one for 0.7.0.^[11]

0.7.0

This release is labelled a Cobblemon 1.7 Quick Fix. It is a small update with a single fix.^[20]

• Fixed: the Braised Vivichoke entry was removed.^[20]

Unverified No pack changelog entries for this mod were available, so any other changes to Cobblepedia across All the Mons releases are unverified.
