The Cobblemon Academy 2.0 modpack is at the center of Minecraft news right now. Officially used for the PokéRayou event, currently broadcast on Twitch, this modpack delivers a unique experience that blends the Pokémon universe with Minecraft, featuring a strong multiplayer, community driven and immersive dimension.
Designed as a true collective adventure, Cobblemon Academy 2.0 focuses on exploration, creature capture and battles, while preserving the freedom and creativity that define Minecraft. To fully enjoy this experience, especially on a shared server with friends or a larger community, hosting it on a dedicated server is strongly recommended.
In this article, we explain what Cobblemon Academy 2.0 is, how to easily install it on a server, and how to configure Voice Chat, a key element of gameplay and immersion.
What is Cobblemon Academy 2.0?
Cobblemon Academy 2.0 is a modpack built around the Cobblemon mod, which introduces Pokémon inspired creatures directly into Minecraft. Unlike simple cosmetic additions, Cobblemon provides a complete system for capturing, battling, progression and interactions, fully integrated into the Minecraft world.
The Academy version is designed for a narrative and community focused experience, with structured progression, varied exploration areas, frequent player interactions and organized events.
This modpack is currently used for the PokéRayou event, making it a strong reference for players who want to recreate or extend the experience seen on Twitch, whether with a small group or on a community server.
Why play Cobblemon Academy 2.0 on a server?
While it is possible to play solo, Cobblemon Academy 2.0 truly shines in multiplayer. A server allows you to share a persistent world available at any time, organize battles and player events, fully enjoy the social mechanics of the modpack and ensure solid performance, even with multiple players connected.
This is exactly where our dedicated offer for modded minecraft server hosting comes in, designed to guarantee stability, performance and ease of management, even with demanding modpacks like Cobblemon Academy 2.0.
How to install Cobblemon Academy 2.0 on your server
Step 1: access the Reinstallation menu
From your server control panel, go to the Reinstallation menu. This section allows you to completely change the server version and automatically install a ready to use modpack.
Step 2: choose the CurseForge category
In the list of available installation types, select the CurseForge category. This section includes official and maintained modpacks, with reliable automated installation.
Step 3: select Cobblemon Academy 2.0
Once in the CurseForge category:
- search for Cobblemon Academy 2.0,
- select the modpack,
- choose the latest available version,
- start the reinstallation.
Important: Cobblemon Academy 2.0 uses the Voice Chat mod by default. If Voice Chat is not properly configured, the server will not be able to start. It is therefore essential to continue immediately with the Voice Chat configuration before starting the server for the first time.
Configuring Voice Chat on Cobblemon Academy 2.0
Cobblemon Academy 2.0 uses Voice Chat to enhance immersion and player interactions. This system allows players to talk directly in game, with spatial voice chat: volume depends on the distance between players, greatly reinforcing the roleplay and community aspects.
Step 1: open a port for Voice Chat
In the server management panel, go to the Plugins tab and open a port dedicated to Voice Chat. Once the port is opened, an IP address and a port number are provided.
Step 2: configure the Voice Chat file
Access the server files and open the following file:
config/voicechat/voicechat-server.properties
Then edit the following lines:
port=ASSIGNED_PORT
bind_address=YOUR_IP
ASSIGNED_PORT corresponds to the port opened in the Plugins tab, and YOUR_IP corresponds to the IP address provided by the control panel. Save the file once the changes are applied.
Step 3: restart the server
Fully restart the server so the changes can take effect. Voice Chat will then be fully operational for all players who have the mod installed on the client side.
An ideal multiplayer experience
Thanks to Cobblemon Academy 2.0 and Voice Chat, you get an experience very close to what can be seen on Twitch: natural player communication, coordination during battles, lively community events and enhanced immersion.
Combined with our dedicated offer for modded minecraft servers, this modpack provides an ideal foundation to launch a server with friends or build a true community around the Cobblemon universe.
