COBBLEVERSE 1.7.41 (July 15, 2026)

We apologize for the absence! Over the past 3 months, unexpected real-life hurdles kept us away from the development of COBBLEVERSE. We finally got back to work at the beginning of this month (July), and we are more focused than ever on dedicating the summer to working on the modpack!

Releasing a new update as soon as possible was necessary, and this is what we managed to achieve in about a week. In the meantime, we have restarted working on Unova and will do our best to release it as quickly as possible (but please understand that it will still take some time, unfortunately. Thank you).

Anyway, we hope you enjoy this new update and keep playing COBBLEVERSE while waiting for many exciting features to come!

🛠️ DO NOT INSTALL version 1.7.40. Please skip it and update directly to 1.7.41 #

• ⚡ Severe Lag & Performance: Resolved the major lag spikes and framerate drops introduced in the last version. We have downgraded Rechiseled and Fusion to their previous versions, as they were the main cause of the performance issues.
• 💻 4GB RAM Compatibility: Optimized memory usage so players allocating 4GB of RAM can now load worlds quickly and play smoothly again (we still recommend 6GB+ for optimal performance, but 4GB should now be fully playable).
• 🐉 Multi-Passenger Mounts: Rayquaza can now carry up to 4 players simultaneously!
• ✨ Visual Improvements: Updated integrated shaders to their latest versions for better visual performance.

🧭 Exploration & Navigation #

• Trainer Card Update: The trainer card now offers an option to view the series progress graph in-game (click the rotating arrows button to the left of the region name). This allows you to view the full list of trainers and Gym Leaders left to defeat all the way up to the Champion, along with the specific Level Cap for each of them.
• Better Pokédex Scanner:
  • Scanning with your Pokédex now provides detailed environmental data (biomes, weather, time) and party-based threat level coloring. 
  • You can now scan Restoration Tanks to view the restoration progress, check the exact Pokémon inside and register unseen Pokémon in your Pokédex directly through the tank.
• Waystone Interface Overhaul:
  • Added a scrollable waystone list, completely replacing the old pagination system.
  • Added personal aliases for waystones via a new “Personal Settings” button, allowing you to assign a custom name (perfect for multiplayer servers with generic names).
  • Added a “Favorites” checkbox in the Personal Settings to pin frequently visited locations.
  • Added a “Sort” button to cycle the list between Manual, Alphabetic, and Distance.
  • Added a dedicated “Manage Waystones” screen, enabling drag-and-drop rearranging and safer deletion controls.
• Waystone Filters & Groups: Added group filters to the selection screen, featuring built-in categories (“Global Waystones”, “Favorites”, and per-dimension tabs). You can also create personal, custom groups with unique text colors and icons.
• New Waystone Variants: Added Red Nether Bricks, Purpur, Prismarine, and Mud Bricks Waystones.
• New Exploration Items:
  • Epitaph: Keeping this item in your inventory upon death will consume it and spawn a Fleeting Memorial at your death site. You can then use a waystone to teleport directly there (the option disappears once used).
  • Twinbound Feather: Wave it against another player’s feather to link them. If both players have their linked feathers, you can teleport directly to each other via any waystone.
  • Portal Scroll: Spawns a physical portal to a specific destination that lasts 5 minutes, allowing players, mobs, and items to pass through. Teleport back to it anytime by selecting the new “Return to Portal” option on a waystone.

⚔️ Raids & Battles #

• Dynamic Battle Overlay:
  • Live Info: Added a draggable left-edge player party strip with hover panels for moves, PP, stats, ability, held item, and weaknesses that activates during wild and trainer battles.
  • Opponent HUD: Added a draggable right-side opponent info strip that preserves revealed opponent battle info across switches.
• Starter Adjustments: Selecting Pikachu as your starter Pokémon now grants Thunder Shock as its default move (previously, it spawned with only non-damaging status moves).

• Audio Clean-up: All music discs have been renamed to “Poké Disc” (with the exception of “Lava Chicken”). Incorrect track descriptions on select discs will be addressed once our music update is complete, ensuring CurseForge users get 100% Pokémon music compatibility.
• Atmosphere Management: Reorganized background music triggers via our main resource pack to better control themes across every biome. Future updates will focus on volume balancing. If you’d like to help us out, join our Discord: https://discord.lumy.fun
• In-game Toasts: Enabled standard game toast notifications. These are useful to track your progression, such as showing you a helpful reminder to press the “C” key to choose your starter when you first spawn, or notifying you when new PC Box wallpapers are unlocked during exploration.

To wrap up this update, let’s talk about the community side of things! We know that playing with others is often the best part of the experience, and we are incredibly happy to see so many of you setting up Apex Hosting servers to shape your own Pokémon adventures with friends!

However, schedules don’t always align, and sometimes it’s just hard to find friends who share the exact same passion for both Minecraft and Pokémon. That is why we have partnered with three fantastic fully compatible servers, each offering its own unique and custom experience! If you are looking to meet new people and make new friends, or simply want to try a different gameplay style without closing the game or switching launchers, you will now find three pre-loaded servers in your multiplayer menu. They are the perfect place to start a parallel adventure when your friends are offline, or when you just want a break from the standard modpack experience.

If you felt limited by our single server recommendation in the past, we hope that having three options now means you will always find a community that feels like home. We spent some time playing on each of them ourselves and truly believe they all bring something unique and captivating to the table. We really hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

Please keep in mind that these featured servers do NOT run the COBBLEVERSE modpack. Because of this, we cannot provide technical support on our Discord for any issues experienced while connected to them. If you need a hand, we highly recommend joining the Discord server of the specific network you are playing on.

As always, thank you for your support! ❤️💙
