Where Are My TMs Mod is a Fabric Minecraft mod that adds TMs and HMs to Cobblemon, letting players transfer moves between Pokemon on Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.19.2.
One of the biggest frustrations in Cobblemon is having a great move on the wrong Pokemon and no clean way to pass it along. That is exactly the problem this mod is built to solve: it adds a TM workflow that feels useful immediately, especially for players building better teams before an official solution arrives. With nearly 793K downloads on Modrinth, it also has strong social proof for a sidemod that stays tightly focused on one job instead of trying to overhaul everything at once.
Key Features of Where Are My TMs Mod
- TM Machine — The TM Machine gives the mod a clear in-game center instead of burying everything behind commands or menus. That matters because it makes move transfer feel like part of normal progression, not a workaround.
- TMs and TRs for move transfer — The mod separates reusable TMs from cheaper one-time TRs, which gives players a meaningful choice. In practice, that makes early progression more accessible while still leaving long-term value in permanent options.
- HM support for Cobblemon — HMs are included alongside TMs, which broadens the utility of the system beyond a single item type. For players who want a fuller move-teaching setup, that makes the mod feel more complete than a basic prototype.
- Party screen move selection — When you use a TM, TR, or HM on the machine, the mod opens a party screen so you can pick the move you actually want to transfer. That extra step is important because it keeps the process readable and reduces guesswork while managing multiple Pokemon.
- Ownership and learnset checks — You have to be the Pokemon's owner, and the target Pokemon still has to be able to learn the move. Those restrictions matter because they keep the feature grounded in Cobblemon's rules instead of turning it into unrestricted move editing.
- Config options for tutor and egg moves — Server managers and modpack creators can enable tutor-like moves and egg moves in the config file. That flexibility is useful because different servers want different levels of convenience, and this mod leaves room to tune that without changing its core purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Where Are My TMs Mod available for Fabric only?
Yes — the provided loader information lists Fabric for both available Minecraft versions. The installation notes also specifically say to use it with Cobblemon on Fabric alongside Architectury and Fabric API.
Does this mod require Cobblemon to work?
Yes — this is a Cobblemon sidemod, so it is designed to work with Cobblemon rather than as a standalone feature mod. The install instructions in the source text explicitly include Cobblemon as part of the setup.
Can I teach tutor moves or egg moves with this mod?
Yes — those options exist in the config, but they are optional and not guaranteed to be complete for every Pokemon. The author notes that egg move support can be inconsistent because some data may not be present yet.
How do you use the TM Machine?
You craft a TM Machine, craft a TM, TR, or HM, and interact with the machine while holding that item. The mod then opens a party screen so you can select a move and teach it to a Pokemon you own that can legally learn it.
Is it safe to update from version 1.0.0 to 2.0.0?
No — the author specifically warns that 2.0.0 may be a breaking change from 1.0.0. A backup is strongly recommended because there is a stated risk of losing items during the update.
Should server owners use this mod?
Yes — it looks especially useful for servers that want TM access before an official Cobblemon implementation arrives. The config options for tutor-like and egg moves also give server managers some control over how permissive the experience should be.
