TalonMCHow to Join a Cobblemon Server
Short answer: To join a Cobblemon server, install the server's modpack (usually from Modrinth), launch Minecraft from that modpack profile, then add the server address under Multiplayer. A vanilla client cannot join, because Cobblemon is a Fabric mod the client needs too. Play on TalonMC at play.talonmc.net.
Server IP: play.talonmc.net (Java 1.21.1 with the free TalonMC Cobblemon modpack)

Step 1: install a launcher that handles modpacks
The Modrinth App is the simplest. Prism Launcher and ATLauncher also work. All three are free.
Step 2: install the server's modpack
Each Cobblemon server publishes a modpack with the exact Cobblemon version and client mods it expects. For TalonMC, open the TalonMC Cobblemon modpack on Modrinth and click Install.
Step 3: launch and join
Start the modpack profile, click Multiplayer, add play.talonmc.net and join. Pick Cobblemon in the hub.
What you need
| Game | Minecraft: Java Edition (Cobblemon does not run on Bedrock) |
|---|---|
| Launcher | Modrinth App, Prism Launcher or ATLauncher (all free) |
| Modpack | TalonMC Cobblemon on Modrinth: Minecraft 1.21.1, Fabric, Cobblemon 1.7 |
| Server address | play.talonmc.net |
Fabric or NeoForge?
Cobblemon exists for both mod loaders, but a server and its players must match. TalonMC runs Fabric, and the modpack installs Fabric for you, so you never need to set up a loader by hand.
What is in the TalonMC modpack
Besides Cobblemon itself, the pack adds Mega Showdown (Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Dynamax and Tera), the Cobblemon smartphone, gym badges, furniture, a minimap and world map, backpacks, Cobblenav, TMs, Jade tooltips and performance mods such as Sodium and Iris. Everything the server needs on your side is already in it.
Give it enough memory
Modpacks need more memory than vanilla Minecraft. As a rule of thumb, set the profile to 6 GB if your PC has 16 GB of RAM, and 4 GB if it has 8 GB. In the Modrinth App this is under the instance settings, Java and memory. If the game stutters, lower render distance before adding more memory.
What happens on your first join
- The join queue checks your modpack version. If it is outdated you are asked to update it.
- You land in the TalonMC hub. Pick Cobblemon.
- Choose your starter, then run
/freerankonce you qualify, and follow the Cobblemon beginner's guide.
Common joining errors and fixes
| Mod rejections or missing registry entries | You launched vanilla Minecraft or a different pack. Launch the TalonMC modpack profile. |
|---|---|
| Turned away by the join queue | Your pack is outdated or you joined with plain Fabric. Update the modpack in your launcher and launch that profile. |
| Out of memory or crash while loading | Raise the profile's memory (see above) and close other heavy programs. |
| Cannot find the server on Bedrock | Cobblemon is Java only. Bedrock players can join every other TalonMC gamemode. |
| Connection timed out | Check you typed play.talonmc.net and that your internet allows Minecraft. Ask in the Discord if it keeps happening. |
