SimpleTMs: TMs and TRs for Cobblemon

SimpleTMs allows players to teach moves to their Pokémon in Cobblemon using TMs and TRs.
Disclaimer : Version 2.0.0 is for Cobblemon 1.6; Version >2.0.2 is for Cobblemon 1.6.1. Make sure you install the correct version. There is a backport available for Cobblemon 1.5.2 as well
Features
TM and TR Usage
- TMs: Teach a specific move to a Pokémon. By default, TMs have 32 uses. They can also be repaired using diamond blocks in an anvil.
- TRs: Function similarly but break after a single use.
- TMs and TRs with assigned moves (not blank ones) are used like most Cobblemon items. A screen will appear, allowing the player to choose a Pokémon from their party if it can learn the move.
- TMs and TRs display tooltips with move details, including description, type, and more.
- By default, Pokémon can learn moves from their TM, Tutor, and Egg Move groups.
- Check Bulbapedia for a detailed list of what moves a Pokémon can learn.
Usage Preview

Blank TM and TR Usage
- Blank TMs and TRs allow players to imprint a move onto them.
- When used, they let the player select a Pokémon from their party and a move from its moveset.
- Blank TMs create a TM of the selected move, while Blank TRs create a TR of the selected move.
- By default, any move can be imprinted onto a blank TM or TR.
Usage Preview

Obtaining TMs and TRs
- Crafting:
- Blank TMs and TRs can be crafted as shown below. Blank TM's can also be crafted using Nethirite Blocks instead of Ehco Shards in >v2.1.0

- Loot Chests:
- TRs (and rarely TMs) can be found in chests in various Minecraft structures like villages, ruined portals, etc.
- The type of TRs that drop depends on the loot location (e.g., Fire-type moves in Nether chests, Normal-type moves in village chests).
- Additional integration with Pokeloot (Modrinth) allows more ways to obtain TMs and TRs if that datapack is installed.

- Pokémon Drops:
- TRs (and rarely TMs) can drop when a Pokémon faints. This is the main way to obtain TMs and TRs in Cobblemon.
- In Battle: Players can choose 1 of 4 random moves from the Pokémon’s learnset.
- Outside Battle: A random move is chosen automatically.
- This encourages battling Pokémon instead of simply defeating them outside of combat.

- Drop Rates (Default):
- TRs: 10% chance when a Pokémon faints.
- TMs: 1% chance when a Pokémon faints.
