🏭 Cobblemon CobbleFarm

Automate your Pokémon item gathering! A Cobblemon addon that lets you farm Pokémon drops automatically using tier-based production blocks.

---

🌟 Why Use CobbleFarm?

• Passive Loot: Get Pokémon-specific drops (like wool, leather, or special items) automatically.
• Upgradeable Systems: Progress through 5 tiers (Iron to Netherite) for faster production and better durability.
• Balanced Automation: Provides a rewarding endgame without breaking the economy thanks to a well-balanced durability system.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Craft a CobbleFarm block (starting with Iron tier) and a Farm Ball.
2. Capture a Pokémon using the Farm Ball by right-clicking it.
3. Place an inventory block (like a Chest, Barrel, or Hopper) on the ground.
4. Place the CobbleFarm block directly on top of the inventory.
5. Insert the captured Farm Ball into the CobbleFarm to start generating drops!

✨ Main Features

• 5 Production Tiers: Upgrade your farms from Iron all the way to Netherite. Each tier produces loot faster than the last.
• Smart Output: The farm automatically pushes generated drops into the inventory block directly below it. If the inventory is full, the farm pauses automatically to prevent lag and item loss.
• Durability System: Nothing lasts forever! Farm Balls have 256 uses. As the farm works, the ball takes damage and will eventually break (losing the Pokémon inside).
• Dynamic Rendering: You can visually see the captured Pokémon shrinking and spinning inside the Farm Ball!

⚙️ Farm Tiers & Durability

The tier of the farm determines both how fast drops are generated and how much damage the Farm Ball takes per cycle.

Tier	Speed	Ball Damage per Cycle
Iron	Very Slow	High (2-3 damage)
Gold	Slow	Medium (1-2 damage)
Diamond	Normal	Low (1 damage)
Emerald	Fast	Very Low (0-1 damage)
Netherite	Very Fast	Indestructible (0 damage)

Tip: Upgrading to a Netherite Farm is highly recommended for rare Pokémon, as the Farm Ball will never break!

⚠️ Known Limitations

• The farm requires an inventory block directly beneath it to work. It will not drop items on the ground.
• When a Farm Ball breaks, the Pokémon inside is permanently lost.

---

🛠️ Troubleshooting

The farm is not producing drops!

• Check if there is an inventory block (Chest, Barrel, Hopper) directly below the CobbleFarm.
• Ensure the inventory below is not completely full.
• Verify that the Pokémon you captured actually has a loot table (some Pokémon might not drop anything naturally).

❓ FAQ

Q: How do I get my Pokémon back from the Farm Ball?
A: Currently, once a Pokémon is captured in a Farm Ball to be used for farming, it is converted into an item and cannot be released back into the world.

Q: Can I use hoppers to insert Farm Balls?
A: The farm is designed for manual insertion of the Farm Ball to prevent accidental losses, but it automatically extracts the produced loot into the block below it.
