Installing the Modpack

To connect to the Very Cool Cobblemon Server you'll need the Cobblemon Official Modpack [Fabric] by CobbledStudios installed on your client.

Which version should I install?

Match the server's current version, shown in the live status box on the home page. If the server is on 1.21.1, install the 1.21.1 build of the pack.

Pick the tab for your launcher:

The easiest path. CurseForge handles Fabric installation, mod downloads, and dependencies for you.

Steps

  1. Download and install the CurseForge app.
  2. Open the app and pick Minecraft as the game.
  3. Click Browse Modpacks.
  4. Search for Cobblemon Official Modpack [Fabric].
  5. Hit the Install button on the pack page.
  6. Wait for the install to finish (it will download the correct Fabric loader, Minecraft version, and mods).
  7. Click Play on the installed instance.
  8. In Minecraft: Multiplayer → Add Server, then enter the server IP from the home page.

Offline mode / cracked accounts

The CurseForge launcher only allows logging in with a premium (paid) Microsoft account. If you don't have one, use one of the other launcher tabs.

ATLauncher is free, supports CurseForge modpacks, and — importantly for many players here — supports offline / cracked accounts too.

Steps

  1. Download and install ATLauncher.
  2. Open ATLauncher. If you have a paid account, add it under Accounts. Otherwise, use the Offline account option.
  3. Go to the Packs tab.
  4. Enable the CurseForge filter and search for Cobblemon Official Modpack [Fabric].
  5. Click New Instance.
  6. Wait for the install to finish.
  7. Click Play on the instance.
  8. In Minecraft: Multiplayer → Add Server, then enter the server IP from the home page.

SKLauncher doesn't install CurseForge modpacks natively, so you'll install Fabric first, then drop the modpack's mods folder into your profile.

A. Install Fabric through SKLauncher

  1. Open SKLauncher and go to the Installations (or Profiles) tab.
  2. Create a new installation. In the version dropdown, pick Fabric for the Minecraft version the server is running (e.g. fabric-loader-1.21.1).
  3. If Fabric isn't listed, click Install Fabric (SKLauncher has a built-in Fabric installer under Settings or Tools depending on version), then reload the version list.
  4. Launch that profile once so the game generates a .minecraft folder (or your custom profile folder).

B. Add the modpack mods

  1. On your PC, open the modpack page and download the client zip for the matching version.
  2. Extract the zip somewhere temporary. Inside you'll find a mods/ folder (and usually config/, resourcepacks/, etc.).

  3. Open your Minecraft profile folder:

    C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft

  4. Copy the mods/ folder from the pack into your Minecraft profile folder. Do the same for config/ and resourcepacks/ if they're included.

  5. Launch the Fabric profile in SKLauncher.
  6. In Minecraft: Multiplayer → Add Server, then enter the server IP from the home page.

Some CurseForge modpacks ship without the actual mod .jar files

If your extracted mods/ folder only contains a manifest.json or a very small number of files, the pack expects a CurseForge-aware launcher to fetch the mods. In that case use ATLauncher or the Manual tab instead.

Same approach as SKLauncher — install Fabric first, then add the modpack contents.

A. Install Fabric through TLauncher

  1. Open TLauncher.
  2. Click the version dropdown (below the username field).
  3. Enable the Show all versions and Fabric filters if hidden.
  4. Pick Fabric x.x.x - Fabric x.x.x matching the Minecraft version the server is running.
  5. Click Install or Launch once so TLauncher installs the Fabric loader and generates the profile folder.

B. Add the modpack mods

Same steps as SKLauncher → B. Copy the extracted mods/ (and config/, resourcepacks/) into:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft

Then relaunch that Fabric profile.

TLauncher variants

Some builds of TLauncher use a custom profile folder — check Settings → Directory to confirm where your .minecraft actually lives.

Prism Launcher and GDLauncher have first-class CurseForge modpack support and work offline.

Prism Launcher / MultiMC

  1. In the launcher, click Add Instance → CurseForge.
  2. Search for Cobblemon Official Modpack [Fabric].
  3. Click OK — Prism downloads the correct Fabric loader, Minecraft version, and all mods.
  4. Launch and connect to the server IP.

GDLauncher

  1. Create a new instance and pick Fabric as the loader.
  2. Open the instance's Addons tab.
  3. Paste the Quick Install ID #cobblemon-fabric and click Download.
  4. Launch and connect.

Verifying it Worked

Once the game loads:

  • The bottom-left corner should show Fabric API or Cobblemon in the mods list.
  • The main menu should have a Mods button.
  • Adding the server IP should show it as compatible in the multiplayer server list.

If any of these are missing, jump to Troubleshooting below.

Troubleshooting

\"Outdated server\" or \"Outdated client\" in the multiplayer list

Your Fabric profile is running a different Minecraft version than the server. Check the version in the home page status box and reinstall Fabric for that exact version.

Game crashes on launch

Usually a mismatch between the pack version and the Minecraft version. Redownload the pack for the version the server is currently running and replace your mods/ folder.

\"Server modded, this client is vanilla\"

Fabric loaded, but the mods didn't. Double-check that the mods/ folder ended up in the actual profile folder your launcher uses. In SKLauncher/TLauncher, this is usually .minecraft; in Prism/MultiMC it's inside the instance's minecraft/ subfolder.

No mods found in the client zip

Some CurseForge packs only ship a manifest.json for licensing reasons. Use a CurseForge-aware launcher (CurseForge, ATLauncher, Prism, GDLauncher) instead — those fetch the actual mod files automatically.
