BadgeBox Mod is a side mod for Cobblemon that adds the BadgeBox from the Pokemon anime and custom badges for Minecraft Fabric and NeoForge.
If Cobblemon ever feels like it needs a stronger sense of rank, collection, and trainer identity, BadgeBox Mod solves that gap with a dedicated badge display system and a clean place to store rewards. With more than 3.25 million downloads on Modrinth, it has already proven that plenty of players want a simple, recognizable way to turn progress into something visible and personal.
Key Features of BadgeBox Mod
- 18 original type badges — The mod adds a full set of original badges, one for each type, which gives your Cobblemon journey a clear collectible goal. That matters because trainer progression becomes more than just team strength; it becomes something you can display and organize.
- Creative-only badge acquisition — The badges are only obtainable in creative, which keeps them rare and makes them feel like special rewards instead of everyday loot. For players, that means badges work best as milestones handed out by admins, event rewards, or roleplay trophies.
- Beginner-friendly BadgeBox recipe — The base BadgeBox has a simple recipe, so it is easy to add into a playthrough without turning the item into a complicated late-game project. That helps servers and single-player worlds get to the meaningful part faster: collecting and showing off achievements.
- Visible badge storage and presentation — Once opened, the BadgeBox gives the collection a proper home instead of leaving badges scattered in inventories or storage chests. That presentation matters because it turns a set of items into a readable trainer record.
- Upgraded BadgeBox with a ninth slot — The upgraded version adds an extra slot specifically for the Master Ribbon. This is a small addition with a big roleplay payoff, because it separates the final prestige reward from the regular badge set.
- Master Ribbon prestige slot — The ninth slot is reserved for the Master Ribbon, described as proof that you are the strongest trainer among the strongest. For players, that gives the badge system a real finish line and makes the top reward feel distinct from the rest.
- Addon compatibility through tags — Other mods can integrate with BadgeBox by using the
badgebox:badgesandbadgebox:ribbonstags. That is especially useful for modpack creators and addon authors, because it keeps compatibility organized instead of forcing awkward one-off behavior.

Yes — it adds 18 original badges, one for each type. That gives you a complete themed set rather than a single trophy item.
