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
