Your first 30 minutes
A simple order of operations for a brand-new CobbleClub player. You do not need to memorize every system before you start.
1. Join and open your dashboard
Open `/club`
This is the main CobbleClub dashboard. It shows your PokéDollars, Gems, claim capacity, daily status and crate keys, and gives quick access to several custom menus.
Know your starting balances
A new player starts with 400 PokéDollars, 5 Gems and 700 claim blocks.
Keep the Newb Kit tools
The Newb Kit includes your CobbleClub Claiming Tool, a diamond pickaxe, Pokédex, Poké Balls, food, PC and Healing Machine.
2. Pick a Pokémon and learn the core Cobblemon loop
Core loop
- Explore until you find Pokémon you want.
- Battle and catch them as normal through Cobblemon.
- Your captures can earn CobbleClub PokéDollars.
- Use your Pokédex and player-facing scanner/indicator mods to track progress.
Useful references
When you need species mechanics, evolution methods, items or Cobblemon blocks, use the official Cobblemon wiki from our Modpack References page.
3. Go somewhere meant for exploration
Type `/wild`
Choose any of the nine managed worlds from the custom 3×3 menu.
Or use `/rtp`
Random teleport chooses from the colored adventure worlds. You can also target one, for example `/rtp purple` or `/rtp resource`.
Stand still for the warmup
RTP has a 3-second warmup and cancels if you move. A successful RTP has a 5-minute cooldown.
4. Protect a place before you invest in it
Type `/claim`
Open the map. Click a chunk, or Shift-drag across chunks, to begin a selection.
Confirm the selection
A Minecraft chunk consumes 256 claim blocks. Your starting 700 blocks is enough for a small protected base.
Configure access
Select the claim to manage trust, permissions, bans, messages, subclaims, ownership and safe teleporting.
Expand later
Buy +256 claim blocks from the CobbleClub interface with Gems. The first purchase costs 5 Gems and the price scales after each successful purchase.
5. Start Kanto
Kanto is the first part of CobbleClub's 32-badge trainer journey. Start with the early Pewter path and Brock, then work through Misty, Lt. Surge, Erika, Koga, Sabrina, Blaine and Giovanni before entering the Indigo League.
6. Start the economy loop
