Verified Cobblemon facts used for this guide
This page has been checked against the official Cobblemon wiki as of May 5, 2026. The current official wiki banner highlights Cobblemon 1.7.0, "Set Course!".
| Fact | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Cobblemon 1.7.0 added riding, Campfire Pot, Poke Snacks and Pokemon cosmetics | Guides about controls, servers and mechanics need to mention these version-specific features |
| Rideable Pokemon do not need a saddle | Players ride through the interaction menu, and ride stats are separate from battle stats |
| Riding styles include land, liquid and air categories | Server owners should expect faster exploration and more chunk loading |
| Poke Snacks are placed items that attract Pokemon and can be bitten 9 times | Public servers should test snack farms and spawn hubs before opening them |
| Campfire Pot uses seasoning slots and supports food plus early brewing recipes | Berries, snacks and economy pages should not treat recipes as generic vanilla crafting |
| Cobblemon commands require cheats or server permissions | Command guides should warn before showing /clearparty, /clearpc or restart commands |
Exact species spawns, drops, forms and addon behavior can change by Cobblemon version, datapack and server config. Use the official wiki for species data and then verify the live server config before publishing spawn rates or economy prices.
Quick answer: The best Cobblemon server for a small group uses 6-8 GB RAM, a high-clock Ryzen CPU, NVMe storage, and a host close to your players. Public servers or heavy addon packs should start at 10-12 GB RAM.
Cobblemon server requirements
| Server type | Players | Recommended RAM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private Cobblemon SMP | 2-5 | 4-6 GB | Good for friends and light exploration |
| Standard Cobblemon server | 6-12 | 6-8 GB | Best default for most groups |
| Cobblemon with addons | 10-20 | 10-12 GB | Mega Showdown, Additions, trainer addons |
| Public Cobblemon server | 20+ | 12-16 GB+ | Needs pregen, backups, moderation |
CPU matters more than people expect. Cobblemon adds entity AI, spawn checks, battles, exploration, and data-driven content on top of Minecraft. A cheap VPS with many slow cores will feel worse than fewer high-clock Ryzen cores.
What makes a Cobblemon server feel good
A good server is not just "online". It should keep 20 TPS while players spread out looking for Pokemon.
- High single-core CPU performance
- NVMe storage for chunk generation and saves
- Enough RAM without huge over-allocation
- Backups before every modpack update
- World pre-generation around spawn and common towns
- A clear modpack ZIP so every player runs the same versions
- EU location for EU players, US location for US players
Cobblemon servers vs Pixelmon servers

Use our Minecraft hosting plans if you want one-click modpack installs, NVMe, and a panel instead of manual VPS work.
