Our notes on Cobblemon Official Modpack [NeoForge]

What sets it apart

This is the pack published by the Cobblemon team itself, built on NeoForge. Cobblemon adds Pokemon-style catching and battling to Minecraft. The pack wraps that mod with visual, audio and interface additions, and the page says it does not change vanilla Minecraft in major ways.

The latest build lists 75 projects. Examples include Complementary Shaders, Particular, Falling Leaves, Presence Footsteps, EMI add-ons, JEI, Xaero’s World Map and Sodium Extra. The page says a recommended resource pack and shader pack are included but switched off by default.

The page also warns that Cobblemon is still in development. Some features are placeholders, Pokemon without a model show as a substitute doll, and breeding, NPCs and megas are listed as planned.

Who it suits

Players who want the intended Cobblemon experience with extras already chosen, without building a mod list. It is more polished than a bare Cobblemon install but heavier than a minimal setup.

Before you install

Modrinth lists Minecraft 1.21.1 and 1.20.1 with Forge and NeoForge tags; the recent builds shown are NeoForge on 1.21.1. A separate Fabric edition of the pack exists. The project was updated October 27, 2026.

The page gives RAM figures: at least 2.5 GB, with 3 GB or more better. Those are the authors’ numbers; no measurement method is published.

There is no formal known-issues list. The project’s issue link points to the Cobblemon GitLab tracker.

The page asks that anyone wanting an included mod for personal use download it from the mod’s original page.

Playing with friends

Modrinth marks the pack as required on both client and server. The page mentions a server package that can connect to vanilla Cobblemon servers and clients, but it does not say what it contains or where to get it.

The page states that Cobblemon has no official server. It points players to public servers through the Cobblemon site and Discord, or to hosting from a partner. For a private world, the exact server file route is not documented on the project page. The Cobblemon wiki covers the mod itself (Pokemon, items, blocks, commands), not this pack’s server package.

Written from public sources, not from hands-on testing. Sources: Modrinth project page, Cobblemon wiki, Cobblemon source and issue tracker. See our editorial policy.
