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 accidentally declined it, you can find it in 🔗links-and-roles on our Discord.
-
- How do I protect my base from griefing?
Using a golden hoe, right click the two opposite corners around your base. Please see the claiming page for a full guide!
-
- 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 with "/flan list" to see its coordinates.
-
- How do I get Legendary Pokémon?
They spawn every 6 hours on a random player or can be obtained from crates. Please see the legendary page for more information.
-
- What time does the server restart?
At 00:00 UTC every day.
-
- How do I get Albino Pokémon?
They are a rare natural spawn and can be received from certain crates. Please see the albino page for more information.
-
- How do I get Crate Keys?
By claiming "/kits", voting for the server, participating in events, or purchasing them from our shop. Please see the crates page for more information.
-
- 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 for details.
-
- 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 server commands are there?
Please see the commands page for the complete list.
-
- What Minecraft difficulty is Aetheria?
Peaceful, to ensure the optimal Pokémon-focused experience. Keepinventory is turned on, so no need to worry about losing your stuff. There is also no fall damage to counteract the risk of using Pokémon to fly. PVP is by default disabled, but can be toggled on for fun with "/pvp true"!
All other usual things can still kill you (e.g. lava)!
-
- Does Aetheria have breeding, and how does it work?
Yes! Please see the breeding page for details.
-
- Are there Gyms?
Yes, we have both NPC and Player made gyms!
NPC gyms can be accessed with "/warp gyms", while Player gyms each have their own warps which can be accessed with "/playergymwarps". Gym badges can be accessed with "/badgecase" and /"playerbadgecase" respectively.
Some players also run their own unofficial gyms, which are posted on our Discord in 🤼♂️unofficial-gyms!
-
- What is there to do in Aetheria?
We have eight NPC Gyms and nineteen Player Gyms to challenge! The Battletower can be challenged daily for rewards! There is also a little quest for a special Aetheria Legendary, which is unlocked once all NPC Gyms are defeated.
Other than that, you can do the usual Pokémon/Minecraft things such as building, farming, mining, making a team, breeding, training, battling, trading, and shiny hunting (or even hunt some Aetheria-exclusive Albinos). We also have regular server events such as Hide and Seek, Spleef, Building Contests, and Battle Tournaments!
Spleef, the Hide and Seek Arena, and the Battle Stadium can be accessed at all times to host your own games with "/warp spleef", "/warp hideandseek", and "/warp battlestadium"!
-
- Does Aetheria have Wondertrading?
Yes! Please see the wondertrading page for more information.
-
- How can I trade items/Pokémon with other players?
We recommend using the GTS on the Server, or the 💰selling-trading-buying channel in our Discord.
-
- How do I EV train my Pokémon?
Pretty much the same way as any Pokémon game. Please see the EV training page for more information.
-
- There's a Pokémon wandering around that I can't catch, why?
Players can put their Pokémon in a pasture to allow them to roam around. If you can't catch that level 100 shiny Garchomp you found in the forest, then that's probably why.
-
- Are there any kits?
Yes! These can be viewed and claimed with "/kits". All players get a kit containing a Cobble Key, which can be claimed daily. Most other kits are rank exclusive and can be claimed on a weekly basis.
We occasionally have kits for special events which can be claimed for a limited time and often contain exclusive items!
-
- Voting
You can vote daily to recieve keys for the vote crate! Please see the voting page for links.

- How do I get Minecraft Exp in Peaceful?
Mining ores, killing Pokémon or passive mobs, and exp bottles (obtained from certain crates or bought from "/warp pokemart").
- Does breeding a shiny Pokémon increase the likelihood of offspring being shiny?
Nope, all shinys from breeding are full odds (1/4096)!
Can I obtain all the Legendary Pokémon?
Sadly, Cobblemon does not yet have all the Legendary Pokémon, nor do any of them naturally spawn. We do, however, use a mod to make them spawn so they can be captured! Please see the Legendary page for more information.
Why is that Pokémon white / Why are there white starters?
That is a special form known as Albino! They are similar to shiny Pokémon, but are much rarer. Each one is created by the server owner (Oceanocelot), with new ones added at the start of each month! For more details, please see the Albinos page.
