Frequently Asked Questions
Joining the server
What's the server address?
play.parkballgang.com
Do I need a specific modpack?
We recommend the PBG QOL Modpack — it bundles the official Cobblemon modpack plus the QoL mods most players use. The official Cobblemon modpack also works. See Install & Connect.
Can I play without the modpack?
You can connect with vanilla Cobblemon, but you'll miss the QoL mods (minimap, chest tracking, shulker tooltips). Server-side features — gyms, raids, GTS, hunts, quests, cosmetics — all work without the QoL pack.
What Minecraft version is the server on?
Minecraft 1.21.1 with Cobblemon 1.7.1, modpack version 1.4.2. See Install & Connect.
Economy
How do I earn money fast as a new player?
Vote daily — /vote opens seven site links, each pays ₽200 + 5 VP + 1 crate key. A full daily round is ₽1,400 + 35 VP + 7 keys. Then work through the 20 daily quests and the /tasks and /leaderboards lists. See Currencies for the full picture.
Where do I buy Master Balls?
Master Balls aren't directly sold in the Vote Shop. They drop from the Vote Crate (rare pull) and as a Royal League gauntlet reward. See Voting & VP Store.
Pokémon
How do I change my Pokémon's nature/IVs/ability?
Use the PokéBuilder. It accepts Pokébuilder Tokens, which convert from Pokédollars at the same NPC.
Can I trade Pokémon with other players?
Three ways: GTS (priced listings), Wonder Trade (random exchange), and Mail (direct sends to a specific player).
Where do legendary Pokémon spawn?
See Legendaries for the full list and spawn methods.
Gyms
Can I challenge gyms in any order?
The Zenith Region's eight gyms must be cleared in order — Gym 1 unlocks Gym 2 and so on. The Royal League opens after Gym 8.
Player Gyms work differently — most are open-challenge.
How do I become a player gym leader?
Apply via the form linked from Player Gyms. Approved leaders run their own gyms with custom rules and rewards.
Mail & rewards
Where do my quest, trivia, and leaderboard rewards go?
Into your mail. Type /mail to open the inbox. Rewards land there instead of dropping on the floor, so nothing is lost to a full inventory or being offline at a reset.
Items in mail packages stay in the locker for 72 hours before they expire. Claim with the button in the mail GUI, or /mail claim <id>.
Discord
How do I link my Minecraft account to Discord?
- In Minecraft, type
/verify— you'll get a 4-digit code in chat. - In Discord, DM the bot the code, or run
/verify <code>in the Discord server. - You'll get the Corsair verified rank and access to the verified-only channels.
Where's the Discord invite?
discord.gg/Wrr5xWeCNh — also clickable from in-game with /discord.
Technical
My modpack won't launch.
Check that you have at least 6 GB of RAM allocated and you're on a supported Java version. If your system has less than 8 GB total, close other apps before launching. If it still fails, post in #tech-support on Discord with your launcher log.
A command says I don't have permission.
Some features (additional warp slots, scan-radius upgrades) unlock at specific Pokédex completion thresholds. See Pokédex Ranks for unlock tiers.
#general on Discord — and if it comes up often, we'll add it.
