RCT Badges Cobblemon Pokemon Badges Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need both Cobblemon and Radical Cobblemon Trainers for this to work?
Yes, this data pack requires both mods to function. Cobblemon provides the Pokemon battle system, Radical Cobblemon Trainers adds the gym leaders to your world, and this pack connects them so leaders drop badges when defeated.
Why didn't the gym leader drop a badge after I won?
Badges only drop on your first victory against each specific gym leader. If you've already beaten them before, the badge won't appear. Make sure you're playing on the same world and haven't collected it yet.
Can I get a badge from the same gym leader twice?
No, each gym leader only drops their badge once—after your first win against them. Subsequent victories won't produce another badge.
Where do the badges go when they drop?
The badge item appears on the ground near the gym leader after you win. Pick it up like any other dropped item, and it will go into your inventory.
How do I display my badges?
Badges appear as items in your inventory and can be placed in item frames or displayed on armor stands for decoration. The advancement menu also shows updated badge pictures that match your collected items.
Do the advancement pictures change automatically?
Yes, when you collect a badge, the advancement picture in your menu updates to show the physical badge item you earned, so your progress menu reflects your actual collection.
Will this data pack work on a multiplayer server?
Yes, the data pack works on servers. All players can earn badges from gym leaders independently, and each player's first victory against a leader will trigger a badge drop for them.
What if I delete the data pack after collecting badges?
The badge items will remain in your inventory and world, but you won't be able to earn new ones from gym leaders. The advancement pictures may revert to their original appearance.
Do I need to use commands to get badges?
No, badges drop automatically after your first win—no commands required. The data pack handles everything through loot table changes.
Can I farm badges by fighting the same leader multiple times?
No, each gym leader only drops their badge once per world. After that first victory, they won't drop badges again, even if you defeat them repeatedly.
