Discord: join the official Cobblemon server, check mods-and-plugins → CobbleBrain.

⚠️Disable the Catch indicator mod (present in Cobbleverse) when playing with cobblebrain.
⚠️Known bug: If you're playing on a server, disable "Talk in Battle". To do this, open cobblebrain.json5 in the server's config folder and set the "talkInBattle" option to false.

About

CobbleBrain is a mod that gives Pokémon a “brain,” allowing them to think, talk, and interact dynamically with the world. It integrates artificial intelligence into gameplay, making your companions talk to you, react to battles, protect you from mobs and even cook a delicious steak, all of that using your prompt.

Wild Pokémon can also interact with the player and the world, creating quests, remembering your actions, and reacting to how you treat their species.

Features

• Pokémon can talk to the player and to each other.
• Pokémon can perform actions such as attacking, eating, cooking, repairing tools, growing plants, and more.
• Dialogue influenced by friendship, nature, past interactions, and world conditions.
• Memory system that stores previous interactions.
• Wild Pokémon quests and karma system that react to your actions.
• Raid events triggered when Pokémon species become hostile toward you.
• Fully configurable AI prompts, gameplay settings, and behaviors through the Mod Menu configuration screen.
• Supports cloud AI models (Google AI Studio, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Player2) and local models via LM Studio and Player2.
• Multiplayer compatible, with each player managing their own AI processing.

How to Play

Local mode runs AI models directly on your computer using LM Studio or Player2. 
WARNING: LOCAL MODELS MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS IF YOU RUN/INSTALL MODELS THAT ARE TOO HEAVY.

**Steps:**  
1. Install [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai) (available for Windows, Mac, Linux).  
2. Open LM Studio and set up a folder for storing models.  
3. Download a model (examples: LLaMA, Mistral).  
   - 4b–5b models → lightweight, fast, good for simple dialogues.  
   - 7b–8b models → balanced, deeper responses.  
   - 12b+ models → complex, detailed dialogues, requiring significant RAM and GPU.  
4. Prefer quantized versions (q4, q5, q8) to reduce resource usage.  
5. Start the LM Studio server; it will show a local API address (e.g., `http://localhost:port`).  
6. Open the **Config menu** and set:
   - `apiBaseUrl`: local server address (Example: `http://localhost:1234`) 
   - `aiModel`: ID or name of the model running in the server
   - `localApiProvider`: `"lmstudio"`

Usage Recommendations

• Low-end PC / simple laptop → Cloud AI.
• Powerful laptop with dedicated GPU → Cloud AI or lightweight local models (4b–7b).
• Moderate–high-end PC → Cloud AI or robust local models (8b–12b).
• For local models, always prefer quantized versions (q4, q5, q8) to reduce RAM/GPU usage.

Configuration

CobbleBrain can be configured directly in-game through the mod config menu screen. You can open it by pressing Y or typing /cobblebrain openConfig in chat.

There you can customize:

• AI provider settings (apiKey, apiBaseUrl, aiModel)
• AI prompts (instruct and other behavior settings)
• Dialogue behavior
• Wild Pokémon quest chances
• Raid settings
• Pokémon characteristics and personalities

Advanced users can still edit the generated configuration files in the /config folder if needed.

For the full list of variables and explanations, please check the
CobbleBrain README on GitHub.

Pokémon Actions

Encourage Pokémon through chat to perform actions.
Example: Squirtle, defend me! / Bulbasaur, want to eat some berries I dropped?
