Cobbleboost

CobbleBoost

CobbleBoost is a client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that optimizes performance when playing with Cobblemon 1.7. It targets the main sources of lag
caused by Cobblemon's Pokemon entities through six features:

1. Pokemon Render Distance — Culls (skips rendering) Pokemon beyond a configurable distance, reducing GPU load in areas with many spawned Pokemon.
2. LOD System (Level of Detail) — Renders distant Pokemon with simplified models, so you get visual presence without the full rendering cost.
3. Animation Throttling — Reduces the update frequency of Pokemon animations for entities that are far away or not in direct view, saving CPU cycles.
4. Particle Limiter — Caps or reduces particles from Cobblemon's particle storm effects, which can be heavy in dense areas.
5. Model Pre-caching — Preloads Pokemon models during resource loading so they don't cause stutter when a Pokemon first appears in-game.
6. Config GUI — Provides a settings screen (via Cloth Config + Mod Menu) and a /cobbleboost command to tweak all the above features in-game.

All optimizations are client-side only and use Fabric Mixins to hook into Cobblemon's rendering and animation code.
