your first ten minutes —

Get in.

Plain Minecraft gets you into most of the park. Java Edition on a PC only — we don't run on Bedrock, console or mobile.

what you need:

Get Java 1.21.1
Windows, macOS or Linux. Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, iPad and the Windows Store version are all Bedrock — they can’t connect here.
already on 1.21.1? skip ahead — SMP and Skyblock need nothing else.
Cobblemon? Grab the pack
The Hub, SMP and Skyblock run on plain 1.21.1 — no mods, no loader. Performance mods and shaders are fine if you like them. Cobblemon is the one exception: it needs our own Fabric modpack, and you can’t get in without it. Prism, CurseForge or the Modrinth app install it in a couple of clicks.
Launch the pack once and wait at the title screen until downloads stop. Connecting early is the #1 reason first Cobblemon joins fail.
download button goes here
Send the Cobblemon pack URL (CurseForge or Modrinth) and your recommended launcher, and this becomes a one-click download.
Add the server
In your 1.21.1 game (or the modpack, for Cobblemon): Multiplayer → Add Server. Name it anything, paste the address, hit Done, double-click.
Pick a park
You land in the hub. Walk up to a board and pick a park — Cobblemon, SMP or Skyblock, with more on the way. Friends already playing? Join theirs; inventories don’t travel between parks.
read the rules before you build. they’re short.

the usual suspects, taped to the wall.

Your pack version doesn't match. Update it in your launcher and don't add or remove mods. (Cobblemon only.)

Wrong Minecraft version. You need 1.21.1 — for Cobblemon, the modpack's own profile. Check which one launched.

Check the address for typos, then the status on the home page. Still stuck? Someone in Discord is seeing it too.

Give the instance more RAM and drop render distance. Modded is heavier than vanilla.

Post in the help channel with a screenshot of the error. Somebody hit the same thing last week.
