Cobblemon

Pokémon meet your Minecraft world. Explore the landscape, catch Pokémon and assemble your team alongside the building and survival you already know.

A good fit if … you want a shared collecting adventure while still building your own base.

What is inside?

Cobblemon is the core mod; a modpack adds other projects. Extra features depend on the selected pack. Every player needs its matching Java client version.

Craftoria

Automated production, magic systems and exploration in one extensive modpack. Quests provide direction while everyone in the group finds their own focus.

A good fit if … some friends want to build factories while others prefer magic or exploration.

What is inside?

There is plenty here for a longer project. Take time to learn each mod and start with manageable goals. Large machines and a growing world may need more resources than the initial server start.

Minecraft with friends

What would you like to play together?

Perhaps you just want to start a survival world. Perhaps you already have a particular modpack in mind. Here is how to choose a setup for your group.

Play a modpack

Want to catch Pokémon, build machines or explore different worlds? Choose a ready-made pack. It brings a selected collection of mods so you do not have to find them individually.

Everyone needs Minecraft Java and the same pack version on their computer.

Just Minecraft

Build a house, find diamonds and eventually defeat the dragon together. If you want familiar Minecraft, start with a classic world. Nobody needs an extra modpack.

On a Java server, everyone uses Java Edition. Crossplay is an option for friends with Bedrock.

Java and Bedrock together

You play Java on a PC while a friend uses Bedrock on a phone? On a suitable Java server, Geyser and Floodgate connect both editions so you can visit the same world.

This does not work with Java client modpacks. Joining from a console also depends on the device.

Your own mods and plugins

Your own mods

Build your own combination of extensions.

Minecraft version, loader and dependencies must be compatible. Every player needs the client-side mods on their computer.

With plugins

Add building tools, protection and permissions to your Java world.

Plugins must match the server software, such as Paper. They are not client-side mods and do not make a Java modpack compatible with Bedrock.

Your Minecraft workshop

Your server. Controls you can understand.

You do not need to become a server administrator to play Minecraft with friends. The panel organises common tasks and takes you to the relevant settings. Available tools depend on your server software and permissions.

Your next step is within reach.

The server overview shows status and the connection address. Open management from there, or jump straight to worlds, players, mods and backups on supported Java servers.

Game mode & difficulty

Survival or creative? Peaceful or hard? Change supported settings in labelled fields. Hints explain when a restart is needed.

Friends & whitelist

Choose who may join supported Java servers. Manage the whitelist and share the connection address with your group.

Worlds & files

Reach world management and the file manager in one place. Back up the current state before replacing a world or making major changes.

Mods & plugins

Find extensions for your Minecraft version and server software. Mods need the matching loader; plugins need software such as Paper. Client mods must also be installed on your friends’ computers.

Game rules

On supported running Java servers, change rules such as keeping inventory. You do not need to memorise the corresponding command.

Console & server status

Start or stop your server through the panel. If something goes wrong, the console and status indicators help you understand the next step.

An update with a way back.

Review a new pack version and keep track of the backup. If you need to roll back, the control panel explains what will happen to your world before you proceed.

  1. Check the backup

    A backup is created automatically before a supported modpack update.

  2. Review the version

    Compare the installed and new pack versions before confirming the update.

  3. Roll back deliberately

    An existing backup restores the earlier state. Progress made since that backup will be lost.

Minecraft control panel: restore the backup from before a modpack update, with a warning about lost progress and required confirmation.

Simplified distant landscapes extend your view. The guide explains distance, data generation and working with shaders.

A longer view does not increase server simulation distance. Multiplayer and shader support depend on the versions used.

Before you start

What to know before setting up your server

Do I need experience with servers?

You do not need Linux or console experience for a normal game night. Starting, stopping, backups and many Minecraft settings are available through the panel. If you choose your own mods, it is still worth reading their requirements: Minecraft version, loader and required dependencies must match. The tools you see depend on your server software.

What must my friends install to play a modpack?

Everyone needs Minecraft Java and the same modpack version as the server. Share the exact pack name and version alongside the server address. Simply launching Minecraft is not enough for these packs: their extra blocks, items and mechanics must also exist on each player’s computer. These Java modpacks cannot be played with Bedrock Edition.

I play Java and my friends use Bedrock. Can we play together?

Yes, on a suitable Java server with Geyser and Floodgate. These extensions let Bedrock players join the same world. They do not make Java modpacks such as Craftoria work on Bedrock, which lacks the required mods. Check which devices your friends use as well: joining a custom server address on a console is less straightforward than on a PC or phone.

How do I choose the right amount of RAM?

Start with the RAM guidance for your chosen modpack. It gives you a starting point for your selection. Everyday usage also depends on simultaneous players, exploration and the machines or farms you build. An empty, freshly started server tells you little about that. Compare the pack and your intended usage before choosing the smallest option.

What have you checked for these modpacks?

For packs carrying the verification label, installation and server startup have been checked. The card lists the Minecraft version, loader and verification date so you can see which combination the result covers. It does not mean every later release or large player world has already been tested. Project images illustrate the pack; they are not screenshots of an MCRedstone performance test.

Can we keep playing our existing world?

Yes, Minecraft world management supports archive uploads. First keep an untouched copy of your existing world and back up the current server state. You then need a matching Minecraft version and, for a modded world, the required mods. Starting that world without its mods can lose content. Load it with the matching setup and check your important builds after startup.

What happens to our world when I roll back an update?

A rollback restores the state in the selected backup, including your world. A house built or items collected since that backup will be missing afterwards. Check the backup time and let your friends know before confirming. The rollback panel explains this before proceeding; it cannot simply undo individual mod files while preserving every later world change.

Can I order a server yet?
