Frequently asked questions in Aetheria and their answers.

• What do I need to join?

You need to download the official Cobblemon Fabric Modpack. You can also download this Pokériding mod, but it is not mandatory to play!

Note: You will not be able to join the server with the Forge Modpack.

• Why can't I see Albino Pokémon?

You need to download our server’s resource pack. This will be automatically prompted with a link upon joining the server if it does not, or you addicentally declined it, you can find it in ⁠🔗links-and-roles on our Discord.

• How do I protect my base?

Hold a golden hoe (one is provided upon first joining the server) and right click the two opposite corners around your base. This will create a claim, preventing other players from being able to grief your builds. Your number of claim blocks will increase the more you play on the server! For other claim related commands, type /flan help.

• How do I teleport to my claim?

You must set a home to teleport to it using /sethome [name].

If you have not done this, you can locate your claim by typing /flan list to see its coordinates.

• How do I get Legendary Pokémon?

Please see the legendary page.

• What time does the server restart?

At 00:00 UTC every day.

• How do I get Albino Pokémon?

They spawn naturally, similar to shiny Pokémon but at a much lower rate. They can also be received from certain crates.

• How do I get crate keys?

By claiming your daily /kits, voting for the server, participating in events, and by purchasing them from our Shop. For more information, see the crates page.

• How do I get resources in Peaceful mode?

Many Pokémon drop resources such as slimeballs and string. Drops can be checked on the Cobblemon Wiki. Alternatively, you can purchase them from /warp pokemart.

• How does chaining work?

Please see the chaining page.

• Why is this server missing features such as megas?

Unfortunately, many of these are provided by mods which must be downloaded both by the player and the server. As a result, many players would be unable to join the server without first downloading all of them, making the server inaccessible to many! We are, however, constantly both looking for and creating our own server-side only features to keep things interesting!

• What features does Aetheria have?
  • Peaceful, No fall damage, KeepInventory on, etc

• What server commands are there?

• What difficulty is Aetheria?
