Cobblemon is a mod that adds Pokémon to Minecraft. You can catch them, train them, battle with them and ride them, all in the familiar blocky world. On servers it gets even better, because you can trade and battle with other players. Here is how to get onto a Cobblemon server and how to pick the right one.
What Cobblemon is
Cobblemon is a free mod for Minecraft Java Edition. It started as a community project, and its Pokémon have their own models in the Minecraft style. The game is still Minecraft, so you keep mining, building and surviving, only now wild Pokémon roam around you and battles are turn based, much like in the original games.
On a server you will usually also find:
- Pokémon trading between players,
- player versus player battles and tournaments,
- custom gyms, quests and rewards,
- an economy and a shop for resources,
- protected land claims for your base.
Cobblemon and Pixelmon
Pixelmon is an older mod with the same idea and a long history. Cobblemon is newer and its graphics look more like Minecraft itself. The two mods are separate and not compatible with each other, so you cannot join a Cobblemon server with Pixelmon or the other way round. Pixelmon servers are in the Pixelmon category.
What you need to join
Unlike a regular server, you cannot join a Cobblemon server with the vanilla game. You need the same mod in the same version the server uses. The usual steps are:
- Check the server's website or Discord to find out which version of Minecraft and Cobblemon it runs. Most servers publish a ready-made mod bundle, called a modpack.
- Install a launcher that handles mods, such as the Modrinth App or CurseForge. Both are free.
- In the launcher, find the server's modpack, or create a profile with the correct Minecraft version, a mod loader (usually Fabric) and the Cobblemon mod.
- Start the game with that profile, open Multiplayer and add the server address.
- Join. If a mod is missing, the game tells you when you connect.
Download mods only from official sources, which means Modrinth, CurseForge or the server's own website. Files from unknown links can contain malicious code.

The list loads live. When a server is offline, it drops out of the overview and comes back once it responds again.
How to spot a good Cobblemon server
- Current version. Cobblemon develops quickly. A server that has not updated for a long time may be missing new Pokémon and fixes.
- A clear modpack. A good server has installation instructions and a link to a ready-made bundle. You can then be playing within a few minutes.
- Rules for trading and battles. Look for clear rules against trade scams and theft.
- Stability. Modded servers need more performance. Check the uptime over the last 30 days on the server page.
- A fair economy. Some servers sell advantages for real money. Consider whether it bothers you that others may have a head start.
Common problems
- Mismatched mod list or a missing mod. Your mod version differs from the server's. Install exactly the version the server lists.
- The game freezes while loading. A modded game needs more memory. In the profile settings in your launcher, give the game more RAM. 4 to 6 GB is usually enough.
- I cannot see the server in my list. You are running the game without mods. Make sure you picked the right profile.
- I play on mobile. Cobblemon is a Java mod. Bedrock has similar add-ons, but those are not Cobblemon servers.
