Cobblemon Synchro Machine

Become the Pokémon. In survival. In multiplayer.

The Synchro Machine lets you merge with any Cobblemon Pokémon — inheriting its model, stats, moves, ability, and held-item effects. No battles required. Every morph is fully visible to other players in real time.

How It Works

Craft or obtain the Synchro Machine item and open the team screen (G). Load Pokémon from your Cobblemon party into team slots, then select an active slot to morph. Model, animations, sounds, and stat passives apply immediately. Switch slots to change form on the fly.

Features at a Glance

• Full-body morph using Cobblemon's own renderer
• HP, armor, movement speed, flight, and water breathing from real stats
• 4-move combat with PP management and speed-scaled cooldowns
• 100+ ability effects — passive auras, contact triggers, damage multipliers
• Off-hand held items (Choice Band, Life Orb, Eviolite, and 20+ more)
• Transform into any Pokémon, mob, or player (species-dependent)
• Mega Evolution via Mega Showdown integration
• In-world move effects — dashes, block-breaking, explosions, teleports
• Cosmetics, emote wheel, and swing animations
• Rival/counterpart species reactions between morphed players
• Full survival multiplayer support

Keybinds

All bindings are rebindable in the vanilla Controls menu under the Cobblemon Synchro Machine category.

Note: Transform (Y) and Detransform (Y) share the same default key but are registered as separate bindings so you can rebind them independently.

Stats & Passives

The server reads your Pokémon's actual stats every second and writes them as real Minecraft attributes.

4-Move Combat

Keys Z / X / C / V (all rebindable) map to your four move slots. Physical moves draw from Attack; special moves from Sp. Atk.

PP is consumed on every use. Restore it by sleeping in a bed, via saturation ≥ 6 (restores +1 PP every 30 seconds), or with /synchro restorepp.

Move cooldown scales with the Pokémon's Speed stat — faster Pokémon fire moves more frequently (baseline 1 second at Speed 75; floor 0.5 s; ceiling 5 s).

base   = clamp(1, 40, (power / 50) × (attack / 100))
damage = base × attackBoost × abilityMult × itemMult × moveDamageMultiplier

Move HUD

Press H to toggle the HUD overlay. When visible, it displays a vertical column of four move tiles anchored to the bottom-right corner of the screen, styled after Cobblemon's battle panel.

Each tile shows:

• The move's type icon and name
• Current PP in color-coded text: white when full, orange at ≤ 25%, red at 0
• A cooldown sweep — a dark bar that drains left-to-right as the cooldown expires, with a bright edge to indicate progress
• A glow highlight when the move is ready (no cooldown, PP remaining)

Empty move slots are shown as dimmed tiles. A brief status line below the grid displays the remaining cooldown in seconds when a move is on cooldown.

Team Screen

Open with G (subject to requireItem). The screen is styled to match Cobblemon's own Summary UI.

Layout: a 3-column panel — left column (Pokémon model, name, level, type badges, held-item slot, Evolve button), center column (tabbed content), right column (6-slot team panel + Close button).

Team Panel (right column)

• Left-click an occupied slot to switch the active morph to that Pokémon
• Right-click an occupied slot to bring up a remove-confirmation dialog (Yes / No)
• When loaded from your party in replace mode, clicking a slot replaces it with the incoming Pokémon

Content Tabs (center column)

The center panel has four tabs, matching Cobblemon's Summary layout:

Other sub-tab (under Stats): shows a Friendship bar (current / 255) and additional metadata. Friendship accumulates while morphed and affects certain evolutions.

Held-Item Slot

The left column displays a 16×16 icon slot below the Pokémon model showing whatever item is in your off-hand. This is a visual indicator only; equip the item in your off-hand in your inventory to activate its effects.

Abilities

Over 100 abilities are implemented across four hook points: passive tick (every second), on-hit-received, on-hit-dealt, and damage multiplier.

Held Items

Put a Cobblemon item in your off-hand — it functions as the Pokémon's held item. The item icon is shown in the held-item slot on the team screen.

Transform

Press Y while morphed to copy the entity in your crosshair. Press Y again or use the dedicated detransform keybind to revert.

Visual Features

• Held-item rendering — Off-hand items appear in the Pokémon model's hand
• Attack swing animation — The Pokémon model plays a swing animation on each move use
• Emote wheel — Hold J to open a radial animation picker; release over an emote to play it
• Cosmetics — Press U with an item in hand to equip it as a cosmetic on the model; empty hand removes it
• Toggle Morph — Press B to hide the Pokémon form and appear as your player character (no stat change)

Emote Wheel Options

The wheel has six segments (one per 60°):

Evolution, Friendship & Mega Evolution

Open the team screen to evolve any slot that has an available evolution. Cobblemon's own evolution requirements (level, item, trade, etc.) are respected. When a single evolution is available the button reads → [Species name]; branching evolutions show Evolve ▾ and open a picker.

Friendship accumulates at +1 per minute while morphed (Soothe Bell doubles this). The current value and a progress bar are visible on the Other sub-tab of the Stats tab in the team screen. High friendship unlocks certain evolutions.

Mega Evolution requires the Mega Showdown mod. Right-click with a compatible Mega Stone to transform. Stats and passives update immediately. A timer controls the Mega duration.

Rival & Counterpart Species

When two morphed players come within 24 blocks, species pairs from Pokédex lore react.

Multiplayer

The mod must be installed on both the server and every client. The server tracks morph state and broadcasts it; each client uses the mod to render other players' Pokémon models. Active morphs are synced to newly joined players within 40 ticks.
