Minecraft Pokemon Mod

This is an experimental mod which adds Pokemon themed items, blocks and recipes to Minecraft.

This project is a Java mod developed using IntelliJ IDEA. My goal was to learn how custom assets, blocks and recipes integrate into the Minecraft development environment by adding Pokémon inspired items and mechanics into the game.
