Overview
Cobblemon is a adventure mod created by Cobblemon Team. A modern Pokemon mod with 3D models, real-time battles, spawning in appropriate biomes, and a complete Pokedex system. As a adventure mod it concentrates on exploration, structures, and new things to fight, and it has been downloaded around 15 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.
Cobblemon is built for players who want a polished, open-source creature-collecting experience. It adds catchable creatures that spawn naturally, battle, and evolve, with a modern art style and ongoing official updates. It is approachable enough to drop into a world and use right away, with little setup required.
The mod is available for Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently supports Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, spanning the 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 releases. It runs on both the client and the server, so on a multiplayer server every player who connects needs it installed alongside the server itself.

How to install Cobblemon
Cobblemon supports Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge; pick one loader (you cannot mix them) and install it for your chosen Minecraft version. It is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, so make sure your profile uses one of those versions.
- 1Choose and install one mod loader from Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge for a Minecraft version this mod supports (1.20.1 and 1.21.1).
- 2Check the download page for any required libraries. Cobblemon lists no hard dependencies here, but it is always worth confirming for your exact version.
- 3Drop the Cobblemon .jar file into your instance's mods folder. On a server, place it in the server's mods folder instead, and make sure every connecting player has it too.
- 4Launch the game with that loader profile and confirm Cobblemon appears in the in-game mods list; if it does not load, re-check the loader, the Minecraft version, and any library requirements.
Supported Minecraft versions: 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Always download the build that matches your version exactly, as mod files are version-specific.

Because it ships for both Fabric and Forge-family loaders, it slots into most popular modpacks regardless of which side they are built on.
Cobblemon has a modest footprint for what it adds and is widely used in modpacks without notable performance concerns.
If you are comparing options, a similar mod worth a look is Pixelmon. They overlap in purpose, so most players pick whichever suits their loader and pack.
