Cobblemon SMP

A survival-focused Cobblemon pack that blends Pokemon catching and battling with traditional Minecraft SMP gameplay. Less structured than Cobbleverse but more content than the official packs. A solid middle ground for groups who want Pokemon flavor in their survival server.

• RAM: 4-6 GB for small groups, 6-8 GB for larger servers

What This Means for Server Owners

Cobblemon packs are significantly lighter than old Pixelmon setups. Where Pixelmon servers often needed 10-12 GB of RAM, most Cobblemon packs run well on 4-8 GB. This makes Pokemon servers more accessible and affordable to host.

The variety of packs also means you can target different audiences. A lightweight official pack appeals to casual players, while Cobbleverse attracts dedicated Pokemon fans looking for a deep multiplayer RPG.

All of these modpacks are available on ModReady with one-click installation. Pick your pack, choose a plan with enough RAM, and your Cobblemon server is live in minutes.
