How do I get gym badges with this data pack?
Find one of the 8 Gym Trainers from Radical Cobblemon Trainers and win a battle against them. The trainer drops a physical badge item for their gym, which you can pick up like any other drop.
Do all trainers drop badges or just gym leaders?
Only the 8 Gym Trainers drop badges, and each one drops its own specific gym badge. This pack only adds badge drops to those 8 trainers.
What other mods do I need for this to work?
You need Radical Cobblemon Trainers, which provides the Gym Trainers. You also need Cobblemon Pokémon Badges, which provides the badge items and their pictures.
Why do my badges show up as a purple and black checkered texture?
This means the game can't find the badge textures, which usually happens when Cobblemon Pokémon Badges is missing. Install that mod and restart the game, and the proper badge pictures should appear on the items and in the advancements menu.
Where can I see which badges I've earned?
Open your advancements menu. When you earn a badge, it shows up there with the actual picture of that badge as its icon.
I beat a gym trainer but no badge dropped, what's wrong?
First make sure you won the battle and that the trainer is one of the 8 Gym Trainers. Then run /datapack list to confirm the data pack is enabled in that world. Also check that both required mods are loaded.
Can I play this pack in Chinese?
Yes. The pack has built-in English and Chinese text for its menus. Set your game language to Chinese, and the badge advancement text will display in Chinese.
How do I add a translation for my own language?
The pack loads its text from language entries instead of fixed text, so you can add your own. Make a resource pack with a language file for your language, then fill in your translations for the pack's text entries. The guide on adding your own translation for the badge menus walks through it.
Does this work on a multiplayer server?
Yes. The data pack goes in the world on the server, and the server handles the badge drops and advancements. Players should also have Cobblemon Pokémon Badges installed, or the badge items and icons may show missing textures for them.
Will this data pack hurt performance?
It shouldn't. The pack only adds drops when a Gym Trainer is defeated and updates the advancement icons, so it does nothing during normal play.
