Complex Gaming IP: play.mc-complex.com Version: Minecraft 1.21 / Cobblemon Live: 1733/3000 players online Website: n/a Discord: n/a Modpack: n/a Votes this month: 0 Complex Gaming is one of the biggest modded networks in Minecraft, best known historically for Pixelmon, with Cobblemon running as one of its headline gamemodes. You get the benefits of a giant network: stability, big player counts around the clock, quests and clan systems. The trade-off is that it is a general network rather than a Cobblemon-first server, so the Cobblemon-specific content runs shallower than on dedicated servers. - Network variety: Cobblemon is one lobby of a huge network that also runs Pixelmon, Skyblock, Factions and more. - Stability: One of the longest-running modded Minecraft networks around. - Quests and clans: Structured quest content and clan systems across the network. ## 5.

The Pokemon mod for Minecraft, explained Cobblemon is a free, open source mod for Minecraft Java Edition that adds Pokemon to the game: catching, battling, breeding, evolution, shiny hunting and hundreds of species, all rendered in a style that fits Minecraft instead of fighting it. It runs on the Fabric and NeoForge mod loaders and targets modern Minecraft versions (most servers today run Minecraft 1.21.1). Battles use a proper turn-based system built on the Pokemon Showdown engine, so moves, abilities, natures, IVs and EVs all work the way you would expect from the real games. What you actually do in Cobblemon Catch Pokemon that spawn naturally in the world based on biome, time of day and weather. Craft Poke Balls from apricorns you grow and harvest. Battle wild Pokemon, NPC trainers and other players in turn-based battles. Train and evolve your team through levels, friendship, trades, held items and evolution stones you can mine as ore. Breed Pokemon at pastures, hunt shinies, and fill out a Pokedex that spans multiple generations. Revive fossils you dig up at excavation sites into ancient Pokemon. Cobblemon vs Pixelmon Pixelmon is the older Pokemon mod. Cobblemon is the newer one, and it has become the default choice for new servers for a few reasons: it is open source, it updates to new Minecraft versions quickly, its art direction matches vanilla Minecraft, and it is built to be extended with datapacks, so servers can add custom species, spawns and forms without shipping a new mod. Do I need a special client to play? Yes. Cobblemon is a Java Edition mod, so you install it (or a server's modpack) on your own game before joining a server. It is not available on Bedrock Edition, consoles or phones. Most servers ship a one click modpack on Modrinth or CurseForge that sets everything up for you. See our guide on installing Cobblemon . Playing multiplayer Cobblemon singleplayer is fun, but the mod really opens up on multiplayer servers: gyms run by real teams, player economies, legendary events, tournaments and trading. Our ranked list of the best Cobblemon servers is a good place to pick one, and TalonMC is our current number one for feature depth. ## Guide: How to install Cobblemon in 2026 (Modrinth, CurseForge, Fabric) The fastest way to play Cobblemon is installing a ready-made modpack through a launcher. You need Minecraft Java Edition and Java 21 (the launcher handles Java for you). Option 1: Modrinth app (recommended) Download the Modrinth App from modrinth.com and sign in with your Microsoft account. Search for the modpack of the server you want to join. Joining a specific server with their own pack always beats assembling mods yourself, because you get the exact versions plus their custom content. For example TalonMC publishes the TalonMC Cobblemon pack . Click install, wait for it to finish, then hit Play. Add the server address in multiplayer and join. Option 2: CurseForge app Same idea: install the CurseForge app, browse Minecraft modpacks, search Cobblemon, install one and press Play. CurseForge hosts many of the same packs. Option 3: manual Fabric install Run the Fabric installer for the Minecraft version your server runs (most run 1.21.1). Download the matching Cobblemon jar from Modrinth and drop it in your mods folder along with Fabric API. Launch the Fabric profile from the vanilla launcher. Manual installs only make sense for servers without their own pack. If the server ships a modpack, use the modpack: version mismatches between your Cobblemon and the server's are the number one cause of failed joins. Common problems "Incompatible version" on join: your Cobblemon version does not match the server. Install their modpack instead of a standalone Cobblemon jar. Game crashes on launch: you mixed Fabric and NeoForge files, or missed Fabric API. Start clean from a modpack. Pokemon invisible or pink: resource pack failed to load. Restart the game once, and let any server resource pack download fully. Once you are in game, pick a server from our list and jump in. ## Guide: How to join a Cobblemon server (step by step) Joining a Cobblemon server takes about five minutes if you have Minecraft Java Edition. Here is the whole flow. 1. Install the client Cobblemon servers are modded, so a vanilla client cannot connect. Install the server's modpack (best) or a matching Cobblemon + Fabric setup. Full walkthrough: how to install Cobblemon . 2. Add the server address In game, go to Multiplayer, Add Server, and paste the address from the server's listing. For example, TalonMC is play.talonmc.net . Addresses for every server we track are on the list , with a copy button. 3. First login Most servers start you with a starter Pokemon pick and a spawn hub. From there the usual early loop is: catch a few low level Pokemon near spawn, craft Poke Balls from apricorns, and start whatever progression the server runs, like quests, jobs or gym challenges. 4. Learn the server's systems Good servers layer their own content on top of Cobblemon. On TalonMC for example you get gym progression, legendary monuments, dungeon runs, PokeHunts and a full player economy. Check the server's Discord for guides; it is always linked from their page here. 5. Vote for rewards Most servers grant in game rewards when you vote for them on server lists. You can vote for TalonMC right here once every 6 hours; be online in game when you vote and the rewards land instantly. ## Guide: Cobblemon type chart: every matchup explained Cobblemon uses the standard Generation 9 type chart, so every matchup you know from the mainline Pokemon games applies here. Attacks land for double damage when super effective, half when not very effective, and zero against an immunity. Full type effectiveness table Type Strong against (2x) Weak against (0.5x) No effect (0x) Normal – Rock, Steel Ghost Fire Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel Fire, Water, Rock, Dragon – Water Fire, Ground, Rock Water, Grass, Dragon – Electric Water, Flying Electric, Grass, Dragon Ground Grass Water, Ground, Rock Fire, Grass, Poison, Flying, Bug, Dragon, Steel – Ice Grass, Ground, Flying, Dragon Fire, Water, Ice, Steel – Fighting Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, Steel Poison, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Fairy Ghost Poison Grass, Fairy Poison, Ground, Rock, Ghost Steel Ground Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, Steel Grass, Bug Flying Flying Grass, Fighting, Bug Electric, Rock, Steel – Psychic Fighting, Poison Psychic, Steel Dark Bug Grass, Psychic, Dark Fire, Fighting, Poison, Flying, Ghost, Steel, Fairy – Rock Fire, Ice, Flying, Bug Fighting, Ground, Steel – Ghost Psychic, Ghost Dark Normal Dragon Dragon Steel Fairy Dark Psychic, Ghost Fighting, Dark, Fairy – Steel Ice, Rock, Fairy Fire, Water, Electric, Steel – Fairy Fighting, Dragon, Dark Fire, Poison, Steel – The immunities that catch people out Ground does nothing to Flying. Earthquake is a dead turn against anything airborne or holding an Air Balloon. Electric does nothing to Ground. The classic hard counter to an Electric sweeper. Normal and Fighting do nothing to Ghost , and Ghost does nothing to Normal . Psychic does nothing to Dark , which is why Dark types wall Psychic sweepers completely. Dragon does nothing to Fairy , and Fairy hits Dragon for double. Fairy is the single best answer to a Dragon team. Poison does nothing to Steel. Dual types multiply Against a dual-type Pokemon the two multipliers stack. Ice into a Ground/Flying type like Gligar is 4x. Fighting into a Steel/Fairy type is neutral, because 2x on Steel and 0.5x on Fairy cancel out. And any immunity beats everything: Ground into a Steel/Flying type is still zero damage. Want to put this into practice against real trainers? Gym battles on TalonMC are built around type coverage, and our server list tracks which servers run gym progression. ## Guide: Best Cobblemon starter Pokemon for a new server Your starter carries the first few hours on any Cobblemon server, so pick for early-game survivability rather than final-form stats. Here is how the common options actually perform. Top tier for a fresh server start Chikorita, Bulbasaur, Rowlet and other Grass starters resist Water, Electric and Ground, which covers a huge share of early wild spawns near water and caves. Grass is the safest pick if you plan to explore before you have a full team. Cyndaquil, Charmander, Fuecoco and other Fire starters hit hardest early. Fire clears Grass and Bug spawns fast, which speeds up the grind, but you will struggle around water biomes until you catch a second Pokemon. Squirtle, Piplup, Quaxly and other Water starters are the most forgiving. Good bulk, few crippling weaknesses, and they handle the Fire and Rock spawns that punish other picks. What actually matters on a server On most servers your starter stops being your best Pokemon within a day. What matters more is spawn access, level caps and whether the server restricts breeding, so read the server rules before you commit to a plan. Servers with gym progression, like TalonMC , effectively require a balanced team of six by the mid gyms, so treat the starter as a bridge rather than the destination. Rules of thumb Pick the type that covers the biome you spawn in, not the coolest final evolution. Catch a second Pokemon of a different type within your first hour so you always have a switch. Do not dump rare candies into a starter you plan to bench. Save them for a Pokemon you will take into gyms. New to all this? Start with what Cobblemon is , then how to join a server . ## Guide: Cobblemon shiny hunting guide: rates and methods Shiny Pokemon in Cobblemon are alternate-colored variants with no stat difference. They are purely a flex, and that is exactly why the hunt is popular. The base shiny rate Cobblemon uses a default shiny chance of roughly 1 in 8,192 per spawn, matching the classic mainline odds. There is no in-battle mechanic that forces a shiny, so hunting is fundamentally about maximizing how many Pokemon spawn near you per hour. What actually improves your odds Encounter volume. The only lever in base Cobblemon. Clear an area, stay inside a single spawn chunk radius, and keep the spawn pool cycling. Biome specificity. Hunting a target species in a biome where it dominates the spawn pool means a higher share of your spawns are the species you want. Server multipliers. Most servers modify the rate or sell shiny boost consumables. This is the single biggest factor, and it varies wildly between servers, so check the server rules or Discord. Time and weather conditions. These do not change shiny odds, but they change which species spawn, which matters when hunting a specific target. What does not work Fleeing and re-encountering the same Pokemon does not reroll shininess, because the roll happens when the entity spawns. Catching and releasing does not help either. Anything advertised as a shiny guarantee outside of official server features is a scam. Practical setup Pick a biome that spawns your target heavily and build a small platform there. Light or slab over unwanted spawn surfaces so the spawn pool stays focused. Keep Quick Balls on hand. A shiny that flees is worse than a shiny you spent five balls on. Check whether your server has a shiny broadcast; on many, including TalonMC , rare catches announce to the whole server. Hunting is far better on a populated server where you can trade duplicates. Pick one from our ranked list . ## Guide: Legendary Pokemon in Cobblemon: how to find and catch them Legendaries are the rarest thing in Cobblemon, and how you get one depends almost entirely on which server you play. How legendaries work in base Cobblemon In an unmodified world legendary Pokemon use extremely low spawn weights tied to specific biomes, dimensions, weather and time conditions. Encounters are rare enough that most solo players go a very long time without seeing one naturally. How servers change it Because pure randomness makes for bad multiplayer, most established servers replace legendary spawning with structured content: Legendary Monuments. On TalonMC , legendaries appear at contested monument locations in the world, so encounters become a race and a fight between players rather than a lottery. Mission chains. Multi-step legendary quests that end in a guaranteed encounter, which rewards consistent play instead of luck. Raids and events. Servers such as Cobblemon Delta and Cobblemon Islands run group raid content where a legendary is the boss. Timed spawn announcements. Some servers broadcast a legendary spawn to everyone online, turning it into a server-wide scramble. Catching one when you find it Bring Timer Balls and Ultra Balls. Legendary catch rates are brutally low, and Timer Balls scale up the longer the battle runs. Inflict a status condition. Sleep and paralysis give the largest catch multipliers, and False Swipe leaves the target at 1 HP without killing it. Bring a Pokemon that survives the encounter. Many legendaries hit hard enough to sweep an underleveled team before you throw a single ball. Expect competition on monument-style servers. Whoever lands the catch keeps it. If legendary content is what you care about, check which servers on our list tag Legendaries, then read the server page for details. ## Guide: Cobblemon spawn guide: where Pokemon appear by biome Cobblemon spawns are driven by biome, time of day, weather, light level and altitude. Understanding those levers turns catching from wandering into targeting. Type by biome, roughly Plains, forests and meadows produce Normal, Grass, Bug and Flying types in abundance. The best early-game hunting ground. Oceans, rivers and beaches produce Water types, with different species in shallow water versus deep ocean. Deserts and badlands produce Ground, Rock and Fire types, and are where Sun Stone ore appears. Snowy biomes and mountain peaks produce Ice and Rock types. Caves and deep underground produce Rock, Ground and Steel types, with spawns changing by depth. Swamps and mangroves produce Poison, Water and Bug types. The Nether produces Fire, Dark and Ghost types. The End produces Dragon and Psychic types. The conditions that matter Time of day. Many species are day-only or night-only. If you cannot find something, come back at the opposite time. Weather. Rain and thunder unlock species that never appear in clear weather. Light level. Dark areas shift the spawn pool toward Ghost and Dark types. Altitude. Sky-high and deep-underground spawns differ from surface pools even inside the same biome. Building a spawn farm Cobblemon spawns around the player within a radius, so the trick is controlling what surfaces are eligible. Clear or slab over the ground you do not want, keep yourself inside one biome, and remove existing entities so the spawn cap stays free for new attempts. For a specific target, pick the biome where it holds the largest share of the pool rather than the biome where it merely appears. Server differences Servers routinely retune spawn weights, add custom species and restrict certain spawns to events. TalonMC for example moves legendary encounters to monuments, and Cobblemon Town adds over 100 original species to the pool. Always check the server wiki, and for TalonMC specifically the TalonDex wiki documents spawn behaviour per species. ## FAQ: Best Cobblemon servers Q: What is the best Cobblemon server? A: TalonMC (play.talonmc.net) is the best Cobblemon server right now. It runs gyms, dungeons, legendary monuments, quests, bingo, ranked battling and Mega Evolution on Minecraft 1.21.1, and it is completely free to play with no pay-to-win. Q: What are the top Cobblemon servers in 2026? A: The top Cobblemon servers in 2026 are TalonMC, Complex Gaming, Cobblemon GG, CobbleGalaxy, Cobblemon Delta, MMO Realms, PokeLegends, Kooplemon, PokeHub, Cobblemon Town, Cobblemon Islands and PokeSaga. Our rankings update live from real player counts and monthly votes. Q: What is the best free Cobblemon server? A: TalonMC is the best free Cobblemon server. Every rank, crate and reward is earnable in game through playtime, votes and events, the store sells cosmetics rather than power, and /freerank grants you a rank the moment you join. Q: What is the biggest Cobblemon server? A: By concurrent players, TalonMC and Complex Gaming are consistently the largest, both regularly running well over a thousand players at peak. Our home page shows live counts for every server we track, refreshed every few minutes. Q: Which Cobblemon server has gyms? A: TalonMC, Cobblemon GG, CobbleGalaxy, Cobblemon Delta and PokeLegends all run gym systems. TalonMC combines gyms with badges, dungeons and legendary content for the deepest progression path. Q: Which Cobblemon server is best for beginners? A: TalonMC is the easiest start because it ships a one-click Modrinth modpack, gives you a free rank on join, and has quest lines that tell you what to do next. Kooplemon is a good alternative if you prefer a smaller, quieter community. Q: Are there Cobblemon servers with Mega Evolution? A: Yes. TalonMC, CobbleGalaxy, Cobblemon Delta and Cobblemon Islands all support Mega Evolution in battle. Cobblemon Islands additionally supports Terastallization, Z-Moves and Dynamax. Q: Which Cobblemon server has the most custom content? A: TalonMC has the deepest custom layer: gyms, instanced dungeons, legendary monuments, PokeHunts, quests, bingo, exclusive Pokemon skins and a full player economy. Cobblemon Town is worth noting for a different reason, it adds over 100 original fakemon species. Q: Is there a Cobblemon server with no pay-to-win? A: TalonMC is fully free-to-play with no pay-to-win. Ranks, crates and rewards are all obtainable in game, and purchases are limited to cosmetics and convenience. Q: How do I find a good Cobblemon server? A: Look for live player counts rather than advertised maximums, check how much custom content sits on top of base Cobblemon, and confirm the store does not sell power. Every server on this list is ping-verified and manually reviewed against those criteria. ## FAQ: Joining and installing Q: How do I join a Cobblemon server? A: Install the Cobblemon mod or the server modpack on Minecraft Java Edition, launch the modded profile, then open Multiplayer, click Add Server and enter the server IP. For TalonMC the address is play.talonmc.net. Q: What is the IP for TalonMC Cobblemon? A: The TalonMC server IP is play.talonmc.net. The same address works for the wider TalonMC network including Prison, Skyblock, SMP and Dungeons. Q: Do I need a modpack to play Cobblemon multiplayer? A: You need the Cobblemon mod at minimum, and the server modpack is strongly recommended because it guarantees matching versions and includes custom content. Version mismatches are the number one cause of failed joins. Q: Is Cobblemon free to download? A: Yes. Cobblemon is a free, open source mod. You need a paid copy of Minecraft Java Edition to play it, but the mod itself costs nothing. Q: Can I play Cobblemon on Bedrock Edition? A: No. Cobblemon is a Java Edition mod, so Bedrock, console and mobile clients cannot join Cobblemon worlds. Some networks like TalonMC support Bedrock crossplay on their other gamemodes at the same address. Q: Can I play Cobblemon on a phone or console? A: Not for the Cobblemon gamemode itself, because it requires a modded Java client on PC. Bedrock players on phones and consoles can join the non-Cobblemon gamemodes of crossplay networks. Q: What Minecraft version do Cobblemon servers run? A: Most Cobblemon servers run Minecraft 1.21.1 on Cobblemon 1.7. Always match the version the server lists, because a mismatch will refuse the connection. Q: Do I need Fabric or NeoForge for Cobblemon? A: Cobblemon supports both Fabric and NeoForge. Fabric is the more common choice on servers, and modpacks handle the loader for you automatically. Q: Why does my Cobblemon server connection fail? A: The usual causes are a Cobblemon version that does not match the server, a missing Fabric API, or mixing Fabric and NeoForge files in one profile. Installing the server official modpack fresh resolves nearly all of these. Q: How much RAM does Cobblemon need? A: Allocate at least 4GB to your client for a smooth experience, and 6GB or more if you run a large modpack or high render distance. Launchers like Modrinth and CurseForge let you set this per instance. ## FAQ: Cobblemon gameplay Q: What is Cobblemon? A: Cobblemon is a free, open source Pokemon mod for Minecraft Java Edition. It adds catching, battling, breeding, evolution and shiny hunting with hundreds of species, using a turn-based battle system built on the Pokemon Showdown engine. Q: How do you catch Pokemon in Cobblemon? A: Throw a Poke Ball at a wild Pokemon, ideally after weakening it in battle or inflicting a status condition. Catch odds depend on the species catch rate, its remaining HP, any status effect, and which ball you use. Q: How do you make Poke Balls in Cobblemon? A: Grow apricorns on apricorn trees, harvest them, then combine four apricorns of one color with a copper ingot at a crafting table. Different apricorn colors and metals produce the different ball types. Q: What is the best Poke Ball in Cobblemon? A: The Master Ball catches anything with a guaranteed success rate but is extremely rare. Practically, the Quick Ball (5x on the first turn), Dusk Ball (3.5x in darkness) and Timer Ball (scales up to 4x over a long battle) are the strongest common options. Q: How do you evolve Pokemon in Cobblemon? A: Most evolve by reaching a level threshold. Others need evolution stones you can mine as ore, friendship, a held item, a specific time of day, a Link Cable to simulate trading, or a particular move learned. Q: How do you get shiny Pokemon in Cobblemon? A: Shinies spawn randomly at roughly 1 in 8,192 by default, though many servers adjust the rate or sell shiny boost items. There is no in-battle method to force a shiny, so shiny hunting is a matter of encounter volume. Q: How does breeding work in Cobblemon? A: Place two compatible Pokemon in a pasture block to produce eggs. Destiny Knot passes down more IVs, an Everstone preserves the holder nature, and Ditto is compatible with almost every breedable species. Q: What are IVs and EVs in Cobblemon? A: IVs are fixed per-Pokemon stat values from 0 to 31 that are set at spawn, and EVs are trainable stat points you gain by defeating specific Pokemon. Both work the same way as in the mainline Pokemon games. Q: How do you heal Pokemon in Cobblemon? A: Craft and use a Healing Machine, which recharges over time, or use potions and medicine items. Many servers also place free healing machines at spawn and in hub areas. Q: Where do legendary Pokemon spawn in Cobblemon? A: In base Cobblemon legendaries spawn very rarely in specific biomes and conditions. Servers usually override this: TalonMC for example runs Legendary Monuments where legendary encounters appear at contested world locations, plus legendary mission chains. Q: What are fossils in Cobblemon and how do you revive them? A: Brush suspicious sand and gravel at fossil dig sites to collect fossil items, then place them in a Resurrection Machine built from a Fossil Analyzer and a Restoration Tank to revive ancient Pokemon like Aerodactyl and Kabuto. Q: How many Pokemon are in Cobblemon? A: Cobblemon implements over 1,000 species covering the full national dex range, with new species and forms added in each major release. Individual servers may restrict or add to that list. ## FAQ: Cobblemon compared Q: Cobblemon vs Pixelmon: which is better? A: Cobblemon is the newer mod and the default choice for new servers because it is open source, updates to new Minecraft versions quickly, and its art style matches vanilla Minecraft. Pixelmon is older with a longer feature history and more faithful Pokemon models. Most active Cobblemon servers today run Cobblemon. Q: Is Cobblemon better than the official Pokemon games? A: It is a different experience rather than a replacement. Cobblemon puts Pokemon inside an open, buildable, multiplayer world, which the official games do not offer, but it lacks a scripted story campaign. Q: What is the difference between a Cobblemon server and singleplayer? A: Servers add other players to trade and battle with, plus custom systems the mod does not ship: gyms, economies, quests, dungeons and events. Singleplayer gives you full control and cheats but no community. Q: Do Cobblemon servers reset their worlds? A: Some run persistent long-term worlds, others run seasons that refresh progression and the economy on a schedule. Check the server Discord for reset history before investing hundreds of hours. Q: Are Cobblemon servers safe to join? A: Reputable servers are. Only download modpacks from official sources like Modrinth or CurseForge, never run a jar someone DMs you, and be suspicious of any server asking for your Microsoft account login. No legitimate server ever needs your password. Q: Are Cobblemon servers free? A: Yes, joining is free on every server on this list. You need to own Minecraft Java Edition. Some servers sell optional ranks and cosmetics, and the best ones keep gameplay advantages out of the store entirely. Q: How many players do the biggest Cobblemon servers have? A: The largest run well over a thousand concurrent players at peak, with TalonMC and Complex Gaming consistently topping our live counts. Our top servers by player count page shows real numbers refreshed every few minutes. Q: What is the difference between Fabric and NeoForge for Cobblemon? A: They are competing mod loaders and Cobblemon supports both. Fabric is lighter and more common on servers, NeoForge has a larger legacy mod ecosystem. Use whichever your server modpack specifies. ## FAQ: For server owners Q: How do I list my Cobblemon server? A: Use our add server form. Listing is free, we join and verify every submission manually, and approved servers get a review page, live status tracking and their own vote page. Q: How much does a listing cost? A: Nothing. Listings are free, and there is no paid placement on the organic ranking. Q: How do I get vote rewards working on my server? A: Install a Votifier-compatible plugin or mod, open the Votifier port to the list server, and share your v2 token. Votes then trigger rewards in game automatically. Contact us through the add server form to set it up. Q: How do I rank higher on this list? A: Get your players voting, since monthly votes are the largest ranking factor, and keep your server online because live player counts feed the ranking too. There is no way to buy a higher organic rank. Q: Why is my server showing as offline? A: We ping the server address directly every few minutes. If it shows offline, check that the address in your listing is correct, that the server is reachable from outside your network, and that no firewall is blocking status pings. Q: Can I update my server listing? A: Yes. Send us the changes through the add server form and we will update your description, tags and links. Q: How do I start a Cobblemon server? A: Install Fabric server software for your Minecraft version, add the Cobblemon mod and Fabric API to the mods folder, allocate at least 6GB of RAM, then port forward or use a host. Expect to add permissions, claims and an economy before opening publicly. ## FAQ: Troubleshooting Q: Why can I not connect to a Cobblemon server? A: The most common cause is a version mismatch between your Cobblemon and the server. Install the server official modpack, confirm the Minecraft version matches, and check the server is online on this list before retrying. Q: Why are my Pokemon invisible or showing as pink and black? A: A texture or resource pack failed to load. Restart the game, let any server resource pack download fully, and verify your Cobblemon version matches the server. Q: Why is my game lagging on a Cobblemon server? A: Cobblemon renders many entities at once, so lower your render distance and entity distance first. Allocating 6GB of RAM and adding performance mods like Sodium usually resolves the rest. Q: Why did my Pokemon not evolve? A: Check the evolution requirement, since many species need more than a level: an evolution stone, a held item, high friendship, a Link Cable, a specific time of day, or a particular move learned. Some servers also gate evolutions behind level caps. Q: I lost my Pokemon, can I get it back? A: Contact the server staff through their Discord. Most servers keep backups and can restore lost Pokemon if you can tell them roughly when it happened. Q: Why does the server say my client is outdated? A: Your Minecraft or Cobblemon version is older than the server. Update through the same launcher you installed the modpack with, which handles both together. ## FAQ: Voting and this site Q: How does voting for a Cobblemon server work? A: Enter your Minecraft username on a server vote page and submit. One vote per username per server counts every 6 hours, and votes push the server up the monthly ranking on this site. Q: Do I get rewards for voting? A: On servers with reward integration, yes. TalonMC grants in-game rewards per vote with streak bonuses for voting daily. Be online in game when you vote and rewards arrive instantly, though offline votes still count. Q: How often can I vote? A: Once every 6 hours per Minecraft username per server, so up to four votes a day per server. Voting again before the cooldown expires tells you exactly how long is left. Q: Why was my vote rejected? A: The usual reasons are voting again inside the 6 hour cooldown, a username that does not exist on Mojang servers, submitting before the page timer finishes, or hitting a per-connection limit. Automated voting is blocked outright. Q: How are servers ranked on this site? A: Rankings combine monthly player votes, live player counts we ping every few minutes, and editorial review from actually playing each server. Vote counters reset on the 1st of each month so newer servers get a fair shot. Q: How do I add my Cobblemon server to this list? A: Submit it through the add server form. Listing is free, we manually join and verify every submission, and approved servers get a review page, live status tracking and their own vote page. Q: Is this list sponsored? A: No server pays for its organic rank. The Editor's pick label marks our top recommendation, and every server on the list gets the same live status tracking, vote system and review criteria.
