Cobblemon Academy 2.0 (Pokerayou) is a Minecraft modpack that blends Pokemon-style creatures, exploration, and RPG progression. In 2026, it’s one of the best ways to run a Cobblemon Minecraft server with friends: everyone can explore, catch, battle, and build their team at their own pace.

The best part on MineStrator: installation is fully automatic from the dashboard. You don’t need to upload files, and you won’t have to manually handle Fabric or dependencies.

In this tutorial, you’ll check the requirements, install Cobblemon Academy 2.0 (Pokerayou) on your MineStrator server, then set up the client side so your players can join without errors.

Requirements for Cobblemon Academy 2.0

Before installing Cobblemon Academy 2.0 (Pokerayou), make sure you have a compatible plan and a server you can reinstall. This modpack can be demanding, so starting from a clean base helps avoid performance limits and file conflicts.

• An active MyBox plan (minimum MyBox 8 recommended)

• A MineStrator Minecraft server created (or ready to create)

If you need to create your server first, follow this guide: How to create a Minecraft server on MineStrator (2026).

⚠️ Warning: Installing a modpack wipes existing files. Back up your world before continuing.

Open your MineStrator panel

Log in to your MineStrator panel, then create or select the server where you want to install Cobblemon Academy 2.0 (Pokerayou). Your goal is simply to reach the server management page, with the console and the left-side menu.

Open the Modpacks library

In your server’s left menu, click the Modpacks tab. You’ll access MineStrator’s library, where you can install packs automatically with zero FTP handling.

Find Cobblemon Academy 2.0 (Pokerayou)

Use the search bar and type Cobblemon Academy 2.0 (Pokerayou). Double-check the name to avoid similar packs, then confirm it’s marked as a certified modpack in the panel.

Install the modpack on your server

Open the modpack page, then start the installation using Reinstall server. This launches a clean setup of Cobblemon Academy 2.0 (Pokerayou) and automatically prepares the full server environment.

🚨 Important: Reinstalling deletes everything currently on the server (world, configs, plugins, mods). Create a backup from the Backups tab if you want to keep your progress.

What MineStrator installs automatically

During the installation, MineStrator handles the heavy lifting. Most of the time it takes a few seconds, but larger packs can take longer depending on how many files need to be deployed.

In practice, the panel will:

• Stop the server if it was running

• Download the modpack files

• Install the correct Fabric version

• Configure required mods and files

📝 Note: If the install looks “stuck”, let it run. As long as the panel is working, it’s usually normal for a big modpack.

Start your Cobblemon Academy server

Once installation is complete, go back to the console (the Dashboard tab) and click Start. The first boot is often slower because the server initializes mods and generates data.

Wait until the Starting status ends. Expect around 1 to 3 minutes for the first launch, depending on your plan and server load.

💡 Tip: If the console is still printing lines, be patient. The first modpack startup is almost always the longest.

Install Cobblemon Academy 2.0 on the client

To join your Cobblemon Minecraft server, your players must install the exact same modpack on their Minecraft client. Otherwise, they’ll hit errors like “missing mods” or “incompatible versions”.

The easiest method is using CurseForge, which manages versions and dependencies automatically.

1. Download and install the CurseForge Launcher

2. Search for Cobblemon Academy 2.0 in Browse Modpacks

3. Click Install

4. Launch Minecraft using the created profile

Connect to your MineStrator server

Once the modpack is installed, connecting works like any classic Minecraft server. Add the IP address provided by MineStrator to your multiplayer list, then join using the correct modded profile.

1. Launch Minecraft with the Cobblemon Academy 2.0 profile

2. Open Multiplayer

3. Add the server using the IP shown above the console

4. Connect and enjoy

Questions frequently asked

Why does reinstalling delete my whole server?

Because a modpack replaces the entire server environment: mods, configs, and sometimes the loader. To prevent conflicts, MineStrator installs everything on a clean base. Always back up your server before reinstalling a modpack.

Is a very long first startup normal?

Yes. On first launch, the server initializes Fabric, generates files, and prepares mod data. As long as the console shows activity, let it work. The duration depends on the pack size and your plan’s resources.

My players see “Missing mods”, what should we do?

Most of the time, they’re not using the same modpack version as the server, or they launched vanilla Minecraft. Have them reinstall Cobblemon Academy 2.0 via CurseForge and make sure they start Minecraft with the matching modded profile.

Conclusion

Your Cobblemon Minecraft server with Cobblemon Academy 2.0 (Pokerayou) is ready: automatic MineStrator installation, first boot, then client setup for your players. You save time and avoid the classic dependency and version headaches.
