Cobblemon Black Arcanum

Cobblemon Black Arcanum

Raise your team. Learn the arcane. Build a world worth coming home to.

A solo-first Cobblemon adventure combining Pokémon, spellcraft, Create engineering and exploration—with a gentle quest journal to help you find your next project.

Minecraft 1.21.1 • NeoForge • Beta: 0.1.0-beta.2

Your team, your adventure

Catch and train Pokémon with Cobblemon, discover trainers and gyms, and challenge raid encounters. Mega Showdown brings battle gimmicks into the adventure, while Pokémon care and picnic interactions give you more to do with your companions between battles.

Discover the arcane

Iron’s Spells ’n Spellbooks and compatible add-ons bring spell collecting, magical equipment and new combat choices. Build around your favourite spells, then explore jewelry, relics, artifacts and accessories to complement your playstyle. Apotheosis adds another layer of equipment progression.

Build beyond the ordinary

Create gives your home moving machinery, production lines and trains. Aeronautics and Aerowarptics expand the engineering side into ships and travel. Start with one small machine; grow your workshop when you are ready.

A world to get lost in

Biomes O’ Plenty, Tectonic and Terralith shape an Overworld filled with varied biomes and dramatic terrain. Discover villages, structures and floating settlements, then venture through the Nether and End and into additional dimensions including the Aether, Twilight Forest, Bumblezone, Undergarden, Otherside, Starlight and Voidscape.

Waypoints, Nature’s Compass and an exploration compass help you plan expeditions and find your way home.

A little guidance, plenty of freedom

The custom Adventure Journal contains 251 quests across 21 chapters, arranged into six categories. Clear titles, useful rewards and gentle hints help you learn the pack a little at a time. Choose a chapter that interests you—there is no need to complete every system at once.

Open the quest book with F7.

A comfortable permanent world

Sophisticated Backpacks and Storage, Tom’s Simple Storage and Easy Villagers support everyday base building. Farming and food additions make your home useful as well as beautiful. Gradual tree chopping, vein mining and larger stacks for selected basic materials cut down on busywork. Treasure2 adds chests with different reward tiers.

The Black Arcanum look

The pack has a custom retro-inspired identity: an illustrated title, gently drifting stars, themed buttons, and loading screens built around a filling ball. The theme extends to world selection, multiplayer and the pause menu.

Complementary Unbound and Iris provide optional shaders; Voxy with Roxy renders distant terrain. ModernFix, Clumps and BadOptimizations complement the existing Sodium, Lithium, FerriteCore, ImmediatelyFast and Entity Culling performance mods. Animation and equipment-display additions bring more movement and personality to your character. Shader performance depends on your hardware and settings.

Start here

1. Install this pack through the CurseForge app and launch its included NeoForge profile.
2. Allocate 8 GB of RAM. 16 GB of system memory is recommended for this large pack.
3. Allow the first launch to finish loading; startup can take several minutes.
4. Create a fresh world, open the Adventure Journal with F7, and begin with the introductory quests.
5. Start with shaders disabled if you need more performance, then enable Complementary Unbound and adjust its quality to suit your computer.

First beta notes

This is a large, solo-first pack in active testing. Startup and individual gameplay systems have been checked, but every mod interaction, Pokémon encounter and dimension has not been exhaustively tested. A dedicated server release is not currently included or validated. Known beta issues include some optional integration recipe warnings and third-person skin sleeve alignment during flight.

Back up your world before updating. When reporting a problem, include the pack version, what you were doing and the relevant crash report or latest log after removing personal information.
