Cobblemon Occupied Pokeballs REFORGED

This is a NeoForge port of Cobblemon Occupied Pokeballs by m3till, all credit to the original author for the project!!

---

A Cobblemon mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge).

Eject any party Pokémon as its physical Poké Ball item, hand it to a friend, stash it in a chest, place it on a shelf, or send it straight out into the world.

---

Features

• Eject — press T to eject your currently selected party Pokémon as its caught ball
• Reclaim — hold the ball and press T to add it back to your party (or PC if full)
• Send out from hand — hold the ball and press Shift+T to add it to your party and immediately send it out with the full throw animation (only works if your party has space)
• Pokéball Display — right-click the top face of any solid block while holding an occupied ball to place it as a 3D display; reclaim by breaking it
• Floating name label — placed displays show the Pokémon's name (and ✦ if shiny) as a floating label; toggleable in config
• Jade tooltip — when looking at a placed ball, Jade shows the Pokémon's name, level, type(s), nature, and shiny status
• Ball throwing blocked — occupied balls cannot be thrown; they work only as carriers
• Item tooltip — the ball shows the Pokémon's name, level, gender, type(s), nature, and a ✦ Shiny marker when applicable
• Original ball preserved — a Pokémon caught in a Master Ball drops as a Master Ball, etc.
• Full data preserved — IVs, EVs, moves, ability, nature, held item, nickname, marks
• Drop on death (optional, off by default) — configure via ModMenu to drop party balls as items on death; respects the keepInventory gamerule

All keybinds are rebindable under Options → Controls → Cobblemon Occupied Pokéballs.
