Cobbleworkers
Put Pokémon in a Pasture and they work nearby — harvest crops, fill cauldrons, fuel furnaces, and more. This is automation, not a salary job.
Contents
What it is
Cobbleworkers turns the Cobblemon Pasture into a utility block. Eligible Pokémon assigned to that pasture automatically claim jobs in range (crops, berries, apricorns, furnaces, cauldrons, …) and deposit loot into nearby inventories when they can.
Not Jobs Reborn. Workers do not earn PokéDollars. For money see Economy. Workers give resources and automation.
Quick start
- Craft / place a Pasture (REI: pasture) inside your FTB claim.
- Assign Pokémon to the pasture (same block used for breeding).
- Build the matching farm within 8 blocks horizontally and ~5 blocks up/down of the pasture (PokeHaven defaults).
- Leave a chest / inventory near the pasture — workers deposit to the closest valid inventory.
- Match type / species / move / ability to the job (table below). Wrong type = they idle.
PokeHaven area settings
From the pack config (cobbleworkers.json):
| Setting | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
areaScanRadius | 8 | Horizontal work radius from the pasture |
areaScanHeight | 5 | Blocks up/down scanned |
areaScanCooldown | 45s | Pause between full area scans |
navigationTimeout | 30s | Give up reaching a target |
depositTimeout | 65s | Give up depositing → drop items |

Good early setups
- Food loop: Grass crop harvester + Water irrigator + chest → wheat/carrots for you and villagers — pairs with Farming & food.
- Ball materials: Bug apricorn harvester next to apricorn trees → Poké Balls.
- Berry farm: Grass berry harvesters for held items / healing berries.
- Smelting: Fire fuel generators next to furnace rows (furnaces with items get priority).
Breeding vs workers
The same Pasture block is used for breeding and Cobbleworkers. A busy shiny project and a dense crop farm on one pasture can fight for attention. Split pastures when both matter: one for eggs, one for jobs.
Always claim the pasture chunks. Unclaimed eggs / worker loot are easy grief targets — see Claims and Common mistakes.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Try |
|---|---|
| Pokémon just stand around | Wrong type for the job; nothing mature/eligible in the 8-block radius; pasture assignment missing |
| They walk then give up | Clear pathing; lower fences; bring targets closer to the pasture |
| Items on the ground | Chest full / wrong inventory — add storage closer to the pasture (deposit timeout ~65s) |
| Only close crops get done | Normal — closer blocks are prioritized; thin the farm or add a second pasture |
| Expecting PokéDollars | Workers do not pay — use battles / bank / bounties (Economy) |
