Note: If you notice the Pokémon not forming memories/personalities as much in previous versions, check the first question in the FAQ.

About

CobbleBrain is a mod that gives Pokémon a “brain,” allowing them to think, talk, and interact dynamically with the world. It integrates artificial intelligence into gameplay, making your companions talk to you, react to battles, protect you from mobs and even cook a delicious steak, all of that using your prompt.

Wild Pokémon can also interact with the player and the world, creating quests, remembering your actions, and reacting to how you treat their species.

With the built-in Visual Story Creator, players can make custom interactive quests, branching RPG campaigns, minigames and more!

You can also fully customize each Pokémon's personality through the built-in Personality Editor, allowing every companion to develop a unique identity.

Features

• Pokémon can talk to the player and to each other autonomously.
• Speech-to-Text (Voice Input): Talk and give commands to Pokémon directly using your microphone (requires MCMti).
• Pokémon can perform actions such as attacking, building, excavating, cooking, repairing tools, growing plants, and more.
• Per-Action Customization: Toggle each action individually and customize cooldowns to balance gameplay.
• Dialogue influenced by friendship, nature, past interactions, and world conditions.
• Memory system that stores previous interactions.
• Wild Pokémon quests and karma system that react to your actions.
• Raid events triggered when Pokémon species become hostile toward you.
• Fully configurable AI prompts, gameplay settings, and behaviors through the Mod Menu configuration screen.
• Supports cloud AI models (Google AI Studio, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Player2), local models via LM Studio and Player2 and offline gameplay.
• Multiplayer compatible, with each player managing their own AI processing.
• Pokémon Personality Editor for customizing Traits, Quirks, Likes, Dislikes, and other personality attributes.

How to Play

Local mode runs AI models directly on your computer using LM Studio or Player2. 
WARNING: LOCAL MODELS MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS IF YOU RUN/INSTALL MODELS THAT ARE TOO HEAVY.

**Steps:**  
1. Install [LM Studio](https://lmstudio.ai) (available for Windows, Mac, Linux).  
2. Open LM Studio and set up a folder for storing models.  
3. Download a model (examples: LLaMA, Mistral).  
   - 4b–5b models → lightweight, fast, good for simple dialogues.  
   - 7b–8b models → balanced, deeper responses.  
   - 12b+ models → complex, detailed dialogues, requiring significant RAM and GPU.  
4. Prefer quantized versions (q4, q5, q8) to reduce resource usage.  
5. Start the LM Studio server; it will show a local API address (e.g., `http://localhost:port`).  
6. Open the **Config menu** and set:
   - `apiBaseUrl`: local server address (Example: `http://localhost:1234`) 
   - `aiModel`: ID or name of the model running in the server
   - `localApiProvider`: `"lmstudio"`
