Steamon

Steamon Origin is a NeoOrigins addon for Cobblemon servers: every player joins one of three permanent teams, picks a class inside it, and gets bonuses and a starter kit that fit that path. A custom selection screen replaces the default one. It was made for season 2 of the Steamon SMP.

You need NeoOrigins, Cobblemon, Create, Cobblemon: Mega Showdown and Sophisticated Backpacks, on the client and on the server.

Beta: this is the first version of the mod. Report anything odd you meet.

What it does

• Three teams. Spark (builders and inventors), Relic (explorers and finders) and Might (fighters and keepers). The team is permanent.
• Nine classes. The class is chosen right after the team, and each class has its own bonuses and its own kit.
• Permanent bonuses. Per team and per class: reach, speed, mining, farming, luck, health and more.
• Cobblemon bonuses. Battle experience, friendship gain, catch rate, and shiny or alpha odds near the player, depending on the class.
• A starter kit, given once per team and once per class.
• Team colours in chat, in the tab list and on name tags.
• A story page shown before the choice, which you can open again from the picker.
• FTB Quests ready. Choosing a team or a class grants an advancement you can use as a quest condition.

The selection screen

Show

Your own skin is shown on stage, animated for the team and the class, with the team's Pokemon on a pedestal, the list of bonuses and the cards. It is drawn entirely by code and fits small windows.

• Mouse: hover a card to preview it, click to select it, double click to choose it, drag to turn your character, scroll the lists.
• Keyboard: Tab and the arrow keys move, Enter or Space activates, Escape goes back or asks if you want to leave the game.
• Final choice: the class step asks you to confirm, because it cannot be changed afterwards, unless you win an event that lets you switch.

Shiny and alpha odds

Show

Cobblemon has no per-player shiny rate, so the bonus is an extra chance, rolled once for each Pokemon that spawns within 48 blocks of a Relic Hunter, a Researcher or a Tracker. It is relative to the real Cobblemon rates (shiny 1 in 8192), so it stays small. Trackers also get a small relative chance of an alpha.

Quests

Show

Choosing a team or a class grants an advancement. With FTB Quests, use them as quest conditions, for example to give a different questline to each team. Sample chapters are in the repository.

Compatibility

Required: NeoOrigins, Cobblemon, Create, Cobblemon: Mega Showdown and Sophisticated Backpacks, because some kits and class icons use their items.

Optional: FTB Quests, for the bridge advancements.

Install the mod on the client and on the server. Changing the teams or the classes is done in the datapack inside the jar.

Origin of the idea

Season 2 of the Steamon SMP needed a way to give every player a place in the world from the first minute. Three teams, each with its own leader and its own story, and a class to make that place personal.

Support

This project is made purely for fun, like the Steamon community server. I am still a student without unlimited resources, and the mod takes a lot of my personal time. If you want to help me keep working on it, you can donate on Ko-fi. Honestly, every donation makes me really happy, and you also help the Steamon community continue its adventure on the Steamon SMP.
