How to join CobbleShine

CobbleShine runs Cobblemon, which is a mod, so you join with our free modpack. It takes about five minutes the first time.

Option 1: Modrinth App Recommended

  1. Install the free Modrinth App and sign in with your Microsoft account (the one that owns Minecraft).
  2. Download the CobbleShine 1.4.1 modpack (a small .mrpack file).
  3. In the Modrinth App, press + (Create instance), choose From file and pick the file you downloaded.
  4. Press Play. The first launch downloads a few hundred MB of mods, so give it a few minutes.
  5. Open Multiplayer. ✦ CobbleShine is already in your server list. Double-click it.

Option 2: Prism Launcher

  1. Install Prism Launcher and add your Microsoft account.
  2. Download the CobbleShine 1.4.1 modpack.
  3. Click Add Instance, then Import, and choose the file.
  4. Launch the instance and join play.cobbleshine.net from Multiplayer.

Memory

Cobblemon packs need more memory than vanilla. Give the game at least 4 GB, or 6 GB if your computer has 16 GB or more. In the Modrinth App this is in the instance's settings under Java and memory; in Prism, under Settings › Java.

Troubleshooting

Pressing M opens a map instead of my Pokémon

In CobbleShine, M belongs to Cobblemon (your Pokémon summary) and the world map is on N. If you used an older version of the pack, your old key settings were kept. Open Options › Controls › Key Binds, find Xaero's World Map and set it to N.

"Incompatible client" or "mod rejections" when I join

You're on the wrong version or without the modpack. Join from the CobbleShine instance, not the normal Minecraft launcher. The server needs Minecraft 1.21.1 with Cobblemon 1.8.1.

"Unknown host" or "Can't resolve hostname"

Check the address: play.cobbleshine.net. If it still fails, restart your router or try again in a few minutes.

The game crashes or freezes while loading

Usually it's memory. Raise it to 4 to 6 GB (see Memory above) and close other programs. The launcher picks the right Java for you; Cobblemon needs Java 21.

Low frame rate

Shaders are off by default; leave them off on older computers. Lower Render Distance to 8 in Video Settings. That's what the server uses anyway.

Can I play on Bedrock, console or phone?

No. Cobblemon is a Java Edition mod, so CobbleShine needs Minecraft: Java Edition on a computer.

Can I add my own mods?

Only mods that don't give an advantage, such as performance mods, shaders and zoom. X-ray, fly, auto-clickers, macros and similar clients get you banned. See the rules.

Does it cost anything?

No. CobbleShine and the modpack are free. You need your own copy of Minecraft: Java Edition. Optional supporter ranks are cosmetic; see Ranks & store.

Still stuck? Ask in our Discord or support@cobbleshine.net.
