How much RAM does a Cobblemon server need?

For Cobblemon on its own with up to 10 players, 8GB is the comfortable choice (MC Diamond, €7.20/mo). Between 10 and 25 players, or with sidemods like Mega Showdown and Cobblemon Additions, go for 12GB. Public servers past 25 players do best on 16GB. You can upgrade later without losing your world.

Which Minecraft version and loader does Cobblemon use?

Cobblemon 1.8, released in September 2026, runs on Minecraft 1.21.1 and is available for both Fabric and NeoForge. Your server and every player need the same Cobblemon version and the same loader. If you use a modpack, everyone installs the same pack version.

How do I install Cobblemon on my server?

Open the modpack installer in the control panel, search for the pack you want on Modrinth or CurseForge and click install. The panel downloads the server files and sets up the loader. For a plain Cobblemon server, pick Fabric or NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1 and upload the Cobblemon jar plus its one required mod into the mods folder over SFTP. On Fabric that is Fabric API (Fabric Language Kotlin already ships inside the Cobblemon jar). On NeoForge it is Kotlin for Forge.

Can I move my singleplayer Cobblemon world to the server?

Yes. Upload the world folder over SFTP, set level-name in server.properties to match the folder name, and restart. Make sure the server runs the same Cobblemon version the world was last played on, otherwise update the world on a copy first.

Should I update my server to Cobblemon 1.8 right away?

If you run plain Cobblemon, updating is straightforward after a backup. If you run sidemods or a modpack, wait until each of them has a 1.8 compatible release. Advancements reset in 1.8 and the new structures only appear in unexplored chunks, so let your players know what to expect.

Do berry farms and pastures keep working when nobody is online?

The server runs 24/7, so anything in loaded chunks keeps ticking. Chunks near spawn or kept loaded by a chunk loader keep growing berries and running pastures while your players are offline. Farms in unloaded chunks pause until someone comes back.

Which region should I pick?

The one closest to most of your players. We have Cobblemon capable servers in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Canada, USA (California and Virginia), Singapore, India and Australia. The plan selector measures your ping to each region and suggests the fastest one.

Cobblemon 1.8, Make Your Move

What 1.8 changes for server owners

Cobblemon 1.8 came out in September 2026. Most of the new content is great for players; these are the parts that affect how you run the server.

Alpha Pokémon

Bigger, stronger spawns that always lead herds and know a TM move. More entities per herd, so keep an eye on TPS during busy evenings.

TMs and the TM Machine

Server owners get two new config options: make TMs infinite-use, or unlock every TM recipe from the start. There is also a new /givetm command.

Habitat Block

A spawner block made for servers and adventure maps that controls which Pokémon spawn in an area. Useful for spawn hubs and event zones.

49 habitat structures

They only generate in new chunks. On an existing world you will find them past the terrain your players already explored.

Per-world spawning switch

You can now turn off Pokémon spawning for a single world, handy for a lobby or a creative build world.

Advancements reset

1.8 refactored advancements, so everything except the starter advancement resets. Tell your players before you update.

Berry trees and pasture blocks also got performance improvements for servers in this release. Full walkthrough in our Cobblemon 1.8 server update guide.
