Introduction to Reverie

Work in Progress

Reverie is currently in a WIP beta state. Features may be incomplete, change significantly, or contain bugs. Documentation may not reflect the latest state of the mod.

Introduction to Reverie

Reverie brings the full Pokemon Contest experience to Cobblemon. Players showcase their Pokemon through appeal moves, interactive minigames, and audience engagement — all wrapped in cinematic camera work, NPC audiences, and deep scoring mechanics.

Server-Side Only

Reverie is entirely server-side. Players don’t need to install anything — no client mod, no resource pack. All GUIs are server-managed and items appear as vanilla Minecraft items.

What You Can Build

Reverie gives you the tools to run a complete contest ecosystem on your server:

• Contest halls with custom stages, audience seating, and cinematic camera positions
• Five contest categories — Cool, Beauty, Cute, Clever, and Tough — each with unique scoring
• Tiered progression — Normal, Super, Hyper, and Master ranks with ribbon gating
• Interactive minigames — rhythm challenges, timing games, memory sequences, and more
• Tournaments — single elimination, double elimination, round robin, and swiss brackets
• Seasonal leaderboards with automatic rollover and end-of-season rewards
• Poffin cooking to boost Pokemon contest stats with a berry blending minigame
• Pokeball seals that create particle effects when Pokemon are sent out
• NPC audiences that react to the action with cheers, gasps, and crowd waves
• Economy integration with entry fees and currency rewards via Impactor
• Discord webhooks for real-time contest announcements

How Contests Work

A contest flows through these phases automatically:

1. Registration — Players join and select a Pokemon from their party
2. Introduction — Audience NPCs spawn, contestants are announced, cameras pan across the stage
3. Presentation — Each Pokemon is showcased individually with seal effects and costumes
4. Performance — The main gameplay phase. Players select moves across multiple rounds, earning appeal scores through category matching, combos, and stat bonuses
5. Minigame — An interactive skill challenge tied to the contest category
6. Judging — Spectators and NPCs vote on their favorites
7. Results — Winner announced, ribbons awarded, rewards distributed

Contest Categories

Category	Primary Stat	Favored Moves	Theme
Cool	Cool	Physical, aggressive status	Blue
Beauty	Beauty	Special, graceful status	Pink
Cute	Cute	Status, any	Yellow
Clever	Clever	Status, special	Green
Tough	Tough	Physical, defensive status	Red

Contest Ranks

Higher ranks require ribbons from the previous tier:

Rank	Requirement
Normal	None
Super	Normal ribbon in that category
Hyper	Super ribbon in that category
Master	Hyper ribbon in that category

This means a Pokemon with a Master Cool ribbon still needs to earn Normal Beauty, Super Beauty, etc. to progress in Beauty contests.
