SimpleTMs: TMs and TRs for Cobblemon

SimpleTMs allows players to teach moves to their Pokémon in Cobblemon using TMs and TRs.

Disclaimer : Version 2.0.0 is for Cobblemon 1.6; Version >2.0.2 is for Cobblemon 1.6.1; Version 2.2.0 is for Cobblemon 1.7+1.7.1. Make sure you install the correct version. There is a backport available for Cobblemon 1.5.2 as well

Features

TM and TR Usage

• TMs: Teach a specific move to a Pokémon. By default, TMs have 32 uses. They can also be repaired using diamond blocks in an anvil.
• TRs: Function similarly but break after a single use.
• TMs and TRs with assigned moves (not blank ones) are used like most Cobblemon items. A screen will appear, allowing the player to choose a Pokémon from their party if it can learn the move.
• TMs and TRs display tooltips with move details, including description, type, and more.
• By default, Pokémon can learn moves from their TM, Tutor, and Egg Move groups.
  • Check Bulbapedia for a detailed list of what moves a Pokémon can learn.

Usage Preview

Blank TM and TR Usage

• Blank TMs and TRs allow players to imprint a move onto them.
• When used, they let the player select a Pokémon from their party and a move from its moveset.
• Blank TMs create a TM of the selected move, while Blank TRs create a TR of the selected move.
• By default, any move can be imprinted onto a blank TM or TR.

Usage Preview

TM Case & TR Case

• Store all your TMs (1 each) or TRs (stackable) in a single portable item
• Personal storage like an ender chest - your items persist even if the case is lost or destroyed
• Tooltip tracks your collection progress (e.g., "127/Max TMs stored")

TM Machine

• Placeable block with shared storage accessible by all players
• Combines TM and TR storage in one interface
• Works like a regular chest - items belong to whoever takes them
• When crafted, it does NOT AUTOMATICALLY TAKE ITEMS FROM TM AND TR CASES. You won't lose those tms and trs, as you can craft them again and you will have the items inside. 

Obtaining TMs and TRs

• Crafting:
  • Blank TMs and TRs can be crafted as shown below. Blank TM's can also be crafted using Nethirite Blocks instead of Ehco Shards in >v2.1.0

• Loot Chests:
  • TRs (and rarely TMs) can be found in chests in various Minecraft structures like villages, ruined portals, etc.
  • The type of TRs that drop depends on the loot location (e.g., Fire-type moves in Nether chests, Normal-type moves in village chests).
  • Additional integration with Pokeloot (Modrinth) allows more ways to obtain TMs and TRs if that datapack is installed.

• Pokémon Drops:
  • TRs (and rarely TMs) can drop when a Pokémon faints. This is the main way to obtain TMs and TRs in Cobblemon.
  • In Battle: Players can choose 1 of 4 random moves from the Pokémon’s learnset.
  • Outside Battle: A random move is chosen automatically.
  • This encourages battling Pokémon instead of simply defeating them outside of combat.

• Drop Rates (Default):
  • TRs: 10% chance when a Pokémon faints.
  • TMs: 1% chance when a Pokémon faints.

Credits

• SimpleTMs mod was developed by Dragomordor (me)
• Huge thanks to Dogtor Bloo for allowing me to use his retextures of the original v1 of this mod, as they were a much better replacement to the initial textures I made. Also his textures for the tm and tr case items.
• Huge huge props to _alro_ for the texture and modeling of the tm machine!
• Big thanks to the Cobblemon discord for always having people on that help with testing, ideas and banter.
• For players who submitted Japanese and Spanish translations!
• Anyone and everyone that support me through kind words of how they enjoyed the original mod so much. That motivated me a lot to rework and modernize it.
• Anyone who supports me financially using my Kofi link. This is 100% not needed by anyone, and yet some people still want to give back. HUGE props to them for making my side hobby able to make me buy pizza every now and then.
