TrainerEdit Mod - User Guide

Overview

TrainerEdit is a Minecraft mod that lets server admins create custom Pokémon trainers that players can battle. These trainers are persistent NPCs that stay in the world and can be challenged repeatedly (with a cooldown after losing). Perfect for creating gym leaders, rival encounters, or custom trainer battles on your Cobblemon server!

Features

• Create Custom Trainers - Add trainers with custom names and IDs
• Full Team Customization - Set up each trainer's Pokémon with specific species, levels, moves, abilities, items, and stats
• Persistent NPCs - Trainers spawn as villager-like NPCs that stay in place until removed
• Battle System - Right-click trainers to initiate Pokémon battles
• Cooldown System - Players who lose a battle must wait 20 minutes before challenging that trainer again
• Rewards - Award items or run commands when players defeat trainers
• Config Storage - All trainer data is saved to a config file and persists after server restart

Tips & Tricks

• Build a Gym - Create multiple trainers with different teams and place them in a themed building
• Progressive Difficulty - Create trainers with increasing levels as players progress
• Rival Encounters - Use the same trainer ID in multiple locations for recurring battles
• Balanced Teams - Mix different Pokémon types to create interesting challenges
• Reward Progression - Give better rewards for harder trainers to incentivize progression

Known Limitations

• Trainers appear as villager-like NPCs (visual customization is limited)
• Cobblemon integration for actual battle mechanics requires Cobblemon mod to be installed
• Trainer data is stored in JSON format in the config folder
• Maximum 6 Pokémon per trainer team (standard Pokémon battle rules)
