Ever built a beautiful pasture with lava waterfalls and cactus borders, only to watch your Pokémon take damage from the decorations? Cobblemon SafePastures Mod solves that problem entirely — it prevents Pokémon from receiving any form of damage while they roam inside pasture blocks. With over 2.4 million downloads on Modrinth, this lightweight add-on has become a must-have for Cobblemon players who want creative freedom without sacrificing their team's safety.
Key Features
- Full Pasture Protection — Pokémon inside pasture blocks are completely shielded from all damage sources, including lava, cacti, water, and freezing hazards.
- Clean Visual Experience — Status indicators and particle effects like fire, drowning bubbles, and frost overlays are automatically removed when damage is blocked, keeping your pastures looking pristine.
- Highly Configurable — Fine-tune protection through
config/safepastures/safepastures.json. Toggle protection on or off, enable a blacklist mode, and define exactly which damage sources are allowed through. - Auto-Detect New Damage Types — When Minecraft or other mods introduce new damage types, SafePastures automatically picks them up after a config file refresh — no mod update needed.

FAQ
Does SafePastures protect Pokémon from all damage types?
Yes, by default it blocks every damage source while a Pokémon is inside a pasture block. You can customize which sources are blocked or allowed through the config file.
Can I use SafePastures with other Cobblemon add-ons?
SafePastures focuses specifically on pasture block protection and should work alongside other Cobblemon add-ons. It automatically detects new damage types from other mods when the config is refreshed.
Do I need to configure anything after installing?
No — SafePastures works out of the box with default settings that block all damage. The config file at config/safepastures/safepastures.json is generated on first launch if you want to customize the behavior later.
