![Catch Indicator [Cobblemon Addon] Mod for Minecraft](http://mcinside.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/thumbnail-607.webp)
Tracking which Pokémon you've already caught across a sprawling Cobblemon world can get tedious fast — especially when every encounter looks the same. Catch Indicator Mod solves that by adding clean visual markers directly onto wild Pokémon nametags, so you can tell at a glance whether a creature is brand new, previously seen, or already sitting in your collection. It's a small quality-of-life upgrade that makes exploring and completing your Pokédex feel significantly smoother.
Key Features
- Nametag Status Indicators — Wild Pokémon display a visual marker next to their name showing whether they've been caught, seen, or are completely new to you.
- Mystery Name for Unseen Pokémon — Encounters you haven't discovered yet show a hidden placeholder like "???" instead of the species name, preserving the surprise of first contact.
- Revealed Names After First Encounter — Once you've seen a Pokémon at least once, its real name appears on the nametag so you can identify it from a distance.
- Caught Badge — Pokémon you've already captured get a subtle indicator next to their name, letting you skip repeat catches and focus on what's missing.
- In-Game Customization — A built-in settings menu lets you adjust indicator styles with a live preview, so you can tweak the look without restarting.
- Toggle On or Off — Enable or disable the entire mod anytime through the settings, with optimized nametag updates that refresh instantly.

FAQ
Does Catch Indicator Mod work without Cobblemon?
No. Catch Indicator is built specifically as a Cobblemon addon and requires the Cobblemon mod to be installed. It reads catch and seen data from Cobblemon's systems, so it won't function with other Pokémon mods.
Can I turn off the "???" placeholder for unseen Pokémon?
Yes. The mod includes an in-game settings menu where you can customize or toggle indicator styles, including the hidden name feature. Changes preview in real time before you apply them.
Is Catch Indicator compatible with multiplayer servers?
The mod is designed as a client-side visual enhancement for Cobblemon nametags. Whether it works on a specific server depends on that server's mod setup and policies — check with your server admin before installing.
