Cobblemon for Players who want something more.
APS is an 18+, ultra-difficult Minecraft + Cobblemon server built around 16 planned weeks of co-op adventures, where the whole community works toward the same goals. Every unlock happens because players pulled it off together. The stars can't be conquered alone. Join APS Season 5.
One Planet. 16 weeks. A whole galaxy.
16 planned weeks of co-op adventures, from escape pod to the edge of the galaxy.

Abandon ship
Another explosion hits and the bulkhead in front of you rips open. Brightly colored impact craters litter the vessel. You stagger into an escape pod, slap a destination and blast away as the crippled ship fades into the dark. Welcome to APS Season 5.

SEASON 4
STATUS: WORLD LOST
So, what happened to Season 4?
Players made the extremely wise decision to trust the Minior and invite them into the world. Meteors started falling on players, and by the end of the season it was clear the world was doomed.
With time running out, the server worked together to build nine enormous spaceships and evacuate. Everyone escaped just in time, leaving the Minior behind to wipe out the world and everything we'd built there.
Season 5 begins among the stars.

Every season since 2021: themes, big moments and the players who made them.
Hall of FameLegends of APS
Champions, record-breakers and the ships that got everyone out of Season 4.
Pokédex
Every Planet has its own Pokémon pool, and some of the rarest entries take far more than finding the right biome. There are also 100+ Planet-themed skins (roughly 480 million if you count Roselia).
| # | Pokémon | Type | Planet | Biome | Notes |
|---|
Skindex
100+ special Pokémon skins, each themed around the Planet it lives on (or roughly 480 million if you count Roselia). Finding a skin means finding its Planet.
| Skin | Pokémon | Planet | How to get it |
|---|
Skins ship in the APS Cobblemon Skins pack, included in the modpack.
Planets
The galaxy is split into solar systems, each with its own world effects. You pioneer new Planets by rocket, set up an outpost, and open that Planet's ring back to the Hub so everyone else can follow.
Legendary Shrines
120 Shrines are hidden across the galaxy. They hold the keys to Legendary Pokémon.
| Shrine | Legendary | Planet | Found by |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Shrines found yet. Discoveries are logged here once the season starts. | |||
Raids
Three kinds of raids, from quick System Raids to server-wide Altered bosses. Raids are built to reward you without breaking the game, so shinies, items and legendaries are tightly controlled. Expect lots of EV and leveling items and raid currency.
Raids Open at Launch
Raid details go live on December 4. Check back once the season starts.
Card Packs
Collect cards with Cobblemon Cards. Almost every Planet has its own themed pack, and there are special packs on top of that.
Card Packs Drop at Launch
The full pack list goes live on December 4. Check back once the season starts.
Towns
18 type-themed Towns serve as footholds in unfamiliar worlds. Each one sits on a different Planet.
Clans
32 clans are already preparing for Season 5. Join one, build your own, or enjoy the solo hermit life.
Find a crew
Clans recruit in Discord. Look for open recruitment posts or message a clan leader directly.
Start your own
Gather your friends, pick a name and register it with staff before launch.
Go it alone
Solo players still feed server-wide goals. Everyone benefits when objectives are hit.
Clan points from Community Goals, Shrines and wars. Scores start counting on December 4.
Community Goals
The whole server donates resources toward these. Hit a goal and it unlocks for everyone. Progress goes live on December 4.
Ongoing Goals
Crashed Ships
One wreck per Planet. Each hold is locked behind a Community Goal, and every player also has solo quest steps to get inside. Some wrecks are restored APS4 ships. Inside is a piece of tech, or a blueprint used to craft it.
Tech Unlocked by Ships
Everything the community can recover from the wrecks, grouped by what it's for.
Secrets
There are systems to master, secrets we won't explain, and places you shouldn't visit unprepared. When the community cracks one, it goes here. Spoilers ahead.
Found Something?
Post it in Discord. Confirmed discoveries get added here with credit to whoever found them.
Modlist
APS5 runs on a 300+ mod pack (278 listed here, plus shaders and configs), tested and balanced so it plays as one experience. Major mods are woven into the story, exploration and quests.
Hall of Fame
The players, clans and moments that made APS. Inductees are chosen by staff at the end of each season.
Season 5 firsts
The first player or clan to pull each of these off gets their name here for good.

History
APS has run one big season a year since December 2021. Each one ends, and the next begins somewhere new.
Staff
The people who built APS and keep it running. For help, open a ticket in Discord rather than messaging staff directly.
You can't buy your way through it.
We think Pay 2 Win is cringe. APS is completely free, and there are no paid shortcuts around the difficulty.
Plenty of Minecraft servers call themselves "not pay-to-win" while still finding ways to sell advantages. We mean it. APS does not want your money in exchange for progress.
So how do we keep the lights on? Donations. This community has supported every server we've run, and every dollar goes to hosting and building the next part of the galaxy. Every reward below is either server-wide or just for fun.
- Pokémon
- Items
- Crates
- Ranks that make you stronger
Unlock Planet Paatu Wen
Every donation counts toward this season's server costs. When we hit $5,000, the Planet Paatu Wen opens for everyone.
