Icerend Shrine and Seal: Chien-Pao in Cobblemon and Cobbleverse

You want Chien-Pao, and in Cobblemon that means the Icerend Shrine. The Icerend Shrine is a Nether structure from the Legendary Monuments add-on for Cobblemon, and the Icerend set works in three steps: the Icerend Seal finds the shrine, 8 Icerend Stakes power it, and the shrine summons Chien-Pao. The Cobbleverse modpack ships its own build of the mod with a different way to find the shrine, so this page covers both.

Quick answer: Right-click 8 Icerend Stakes, which spawn anywhere in the Nether, then right-click the Icerend Shrine in Basalt Deltas. It summons a level 50 Chien-Pao with a 2% shiny chance. The Icerend Seal only finds the shrine. With Legendary Monuments on its own, you buy the seal from the Entrepreneur villager and track the shrine with the Arc Phone. In Cobbleverse, you loot two Icerend Seals from Nether chests, craft them into the Chien-Pao Radar and turn that radar into a map at a Nether Cartography Table.

Base Cobblemon has no shrines. Everything below is checked against the mods' own files: Legendary Monuments 8.2 (5 October 2026, Minecraft 1.21.1, Fabric and NeoForge, made for Cobblemon 1.8) and Cobbleverse 1.7.42 (21 July 2026, still the newest version on 31 October 2026), which runs Cobblemon 1.7.3 with a simplified build of the mod meant only for the pack.

What the Icerend Shrine Is

Legendary Monuments puts the four Treasures of Ruin in the Nether, each with its own shrine, stakes and seal, and the steps on this page work the same for all four.

Looking for yellow stakes? You do not have to tell the four stakes apart by colour. Right-click every stake you pass: the line above your hotbar names the seal it counted for, such as "The Icerend Seal Weakens. Progress: 1/8", and the other three count toward their own shrines.

In Cobbleverse the shrines only use those vanilla biomes, with Warped Forest alone for Grasswither. Legendary Monuments 8.2 uses Cobblemon's biome tags, so its Icerend Shrine can also appear in modded basalt biomes such as Incendium's. Our Cobbleverse seals guide covers the other three seals.

Where the Icerend Shrine Spawns

The four shrines share one placement grid, and a spot only becomes an Icerend Shrine when it lands in Basalt Deltas.

• Legendary Monuments 8.2: one candidate spot per 60 by 60 chunks (960 by 960 blocks), with at least 40 chunks between spots.
• Cobbleverse: one spot per 80 by 80 chunks (1,280 by 1,280 blocks), and the shrine sits at Y 32, low in the Nether, so bring Fire Resistance.

Shrines only generate in chunks created after the mod is installed, so Nether areas you already explored will not get one.

How to Use the Icerend Seal to Find the Shrine

The seal never opens the shrine. It is what the tracker needs, and the tracker depends on your setup.

Legendary Monuments: Arc Phone and Entrepreneur

The Arc Phone is the mod's tracker. Craft it with an End Crystal in the centre, an Iron Ingot in each corner, a Gold Ingot above the crystal and on both sides of it, and an item Cobblemon uses for Pokédex screens, such as Redstone Dust or Glowstone Dust, in the bottom middle slot.

1. Carry an Icerend Seal. Its tooltip reads "Used to find the Icerend Shrine", and the phone will not track the shrine without one in your inventory.
2. Go to the Nether. The phone searches the dimension you are standing in.
3. Right-click the Arc Phone, open the Legendary Tracking app and pick the Icerend Shrine for its coordinates, distance and direction.

The seal is a Journeyman trade from the mod's Entrepreneur villager, the one that works at a Suitcase Workstation and also stands at Outskirt Stands in deserts. Each seal costs 40 emeralds plus 48 Relic Coins. A Journeyman only offers two trades from that level's list, so if yours offers two other seals, find another Entrepreneur. The one at an Outskirt Stand starts as a Novice, so trade with it until it reaches Journeyman.

Cobbleverse: Seal Loot, Chien-Pao Radar and Map

The Cobbleverse build has no Arc Phone and no seal trade. The pack tracks legendaries with Poké Radars and Cartography Tables, as its Modrinth page says, and the Icerend Seal is a radar ingredient found in chests:

Bastion bridge and hoglin stable chests have none, and overworld ruined portals use the same table. Two seals take about 32 fortress or regular bastion chests on average.

Craft the Chien-Pao Radar in a crafting table:

• Top row: an Ice Gem in the middle
• Middle row: Icerend Seal, Poké Radar, Icerend Seal
• Bottom row: three Dark Tera Shards

Ice Gems are chest loot in the pack as well, for example in bastions, igloos, dungeons and Trial Chambers. Dark Tera Shards are harder: they come from Dark Tera raids and from chests on New Moon Island and in the Team Galactic bases, which only generate after the first player beats the Hoenn Champion and the host restarts once. The Poké Radar is the slow part: a Locator Chip in the centre, redstone on both sides of it, an iron ingot above it, and iron, redstone, iron along the bottom row. Locator Chips are rare loot from bastion treasure chests (about 1 in 4), End City chests and Ominous Vaults in Trial Chambers.

The radar works through a Nether Cartography Table from LumyMon, the Cobbleverse team's own mod:

1. Craft the table: paper in the top middle, then Poké Ball, Nether Bricks, Poké Ball in the middle row and Nether Bricks, Poké Ball, Nether Bricks in the bottom row.
2. Place it in the Nether; it does not work anywhere else.
3. Put an empty map and the Chien-Pao Radar in it. After about six seconds it draws a map to the nearest Icerend Shrine.
4. Hover over the map. The "Located at" line in its tooltip shows the shrine's X and Z coordinates.

The table uses up the radar and the map, so keep the map safe. For a different shrine, add a Battle Seeker (three blue stained glass, four iron ingots and a redstone dust): the table then skips the nearest shrine and maps another, using up the Battle Seeker too.

Where Icerend Stakes Spawn and How to Collect 8

Icerend Stakes generate in every Nether biome, not just near the shrine, on top of netherrack, soul soil, basalt, nylium or blocks such as nether bricks:

• Legendary Monuments 8.2: a 1 in 16 chance per chunk, between Y 0 and Y 80.
• Cobbleverse: a 1 in 24 chance per chunk, between Y 30 and Y 90.

Each stake is one of the four types at random, so about one in four is an Icerend Stake and you will pass roughly 32 stakes before you have 8 of yours. They are thin posts almost two blocks tall.

• Right-click the stake. "The Icerend Seal Weakens. Progress: 1/8" appears above your hotbar and the stake disappears. Do not mine it: stakes have no item drop, and in Cobbleverse a mined stake does not count.
• Your count is saved per player and per world, so it survives restarts, and friends cannot pool stakes.
• Stakes do not respawn: a taken stake is gone for everyone, and new ones only appear in newly generated Nether chunks.
• Grasswither, Groundblight and Firescourge Stakes count toward their own shrines, so take them too if you want Wo-Chien, Ting-Lu or Chi-Yu later.

If you right-click the shrine too early, it answers "You need to collect more power from Icerend stakes. Current progress: 5/8" with your real count.

Summon Chien-Pao at the Icerend Shrine

With 8 stakes on your count, right-click the Icerend Shrine. A level 50 Chien-Pao appears and the chat announces the summon, with "SHINY" in the message on the 2% roll. Legendary Monuments 8.2 also gives it at least three perfect IVs and gives you the advancement The Sword of Ruin; the Cobbleverse build has no IV rule.

The shrine works once. The summon removes the shrine blocks and all bedrock within 10 blocks, and takes 8 stakes off your count, keeping any extra. A second Chien-Pao needs 8 more Icerend Stakes and another shrine.

Base Cobblemon 1.8.4 (27 October 2026) still marks Chien-Pao as not implemented: the species and battle data are there, but there is no model, so its look depends on your resource packs. Cobbleverse ships a Chien-Pao model and shiny texture in its AllTheMons x Mega Showdown resource pack.

How to Beat and Catch Chien-Pao

Chien-Pao is a Dark and Ice type with 120 base Attack and 135 base Speed, so at equal levels it moves before almost everything you bring. Its ability, Sword of Ruin, lowers the Defense of every other Pokémon in the battle.

• Bring your team to level 50 or higher.
• Lucario is the cleanest answer: as a Fighting and Steel type it resists both Ice and Dark, and it learns Aura Sphere at level 1 and Close Combat at 60. In Cobblemon 1.8.4, Riolu and Lucario are rare mountain spawns, near a Poké Snack or in small herds, and Riolu evolves with high friendship during the day. Our Cobblemon spawn locations guide covers more spawns.
• Chien-Pao has a catch rate of 6 out of 255. Put it to sleep or paralyze it, bring it to low HP with False Swipe if one of your Pokémon knows it, and bring a stack of balls.

The Icerend Shrine on a Multiplayer Server

• Every player collects their own 8 stakes and every summon uses up a shrine, so agree on Nether zones or take turns on a busy server.
• With Legendary Monuments 8.2 you change the numbers in config/LegendaryMonuments/config.json, in the collections section: icerendStakesRequired (8 by default) and regularShinyChance (2 by default, in percent). The stake message keeps saying "/8" even if you change the requirement, while the shrine message shows the real number.
• In Cobbleverse the 8 is fixed in the code, and stake progress lives in legendary-monuments-data/shrine_progress.json in the server's main folder, not the world folder. Keep it in your backups and copy it along when you move the server.
• Pregenerate the Nether before stake hunting to cut lag from chunk generation. Pregenerated chunks hold stakes and shrines too, as long as the mod was already installed. Our Chunky pregeneration guide has the commands.

Legendary Monuments 8.2 needs Cobblemon, Chipped, Accessories, Cobblemon: Mega Showdown and Lithostitched on the server, and players need all of them but Lithostitched, which Modrinth lists as server-side only. Our Cobblemon server hosting page sizes a setup with Mega Showdown at 12GB (MC Special 1) for a smaller group, and plain Cobblemon for up to 10 players at 8GB (MC Diamond). The Cobblemon server setup guide covers installing the mods.

FAQ

How do you use the Icerend Seal? With Legendary Monuments, carry it and open the Legendary Tracking app on the Arc Phone while you are in the Nether. In Cobbleverse, craft two seals into the Chien-Pao Radar and turn the radar into a map at a Nether Cartography Table. Either way the seal only finds the shrine; the 8 stakes open it.

How do you get an Icerend Seal? With Legendary Monuments, buy it from a Journeyman Entrepreneur villager for 40 emeralds plus 48 Relic Coins. In Cobbleverse, loot it from chests in Nether fortresses, bastions and ruined portals.

What does "The Icerend Seal Weakens" mean? It is the message you get when you right-click an Icerend Stake. The number after "Progress" is how many of the 8 stakes you have collected.

Where do Icerend Stakes spawn? Anywhere in the Nether, between Y 0 and Y 80 (Y 30 to 90 in Cobbleverse). About one stake in four is an Icerend Stake.

How do you get Chien-Pao in Cobbleverse? Loot two Icerend Seals, craft the Chien-Pao Radar, get a map to the nearest Icerend Shrine from a Nether Cartography Table, right-click 8 Icerend Stakes and then the shrine. You get a level 50 Chien-Pao with a 2% shiny chance, once per shrine.

Is the Icerend Shrine in base Cobblemon? No. Cobblemon 1.8.4 has no shrines and no wild Chien-Pao. The shrine comes from Legendary Monuments, on its own or as part of Cobbleverse.
