Expanding the Cobblemon Roster with Xadok’s Megas
Minecraft modding has never been more exciting than when two beloved worlds collide. Cobblemon brings the creature-catching thrill of Pokemon into blocky biomes, and now Xadok’s Megas takes that experience to the next level. This datapack introduces a fresh wave of mega evolutions, each crafted with care to feel distinct from its base form. Instead of simple recolors, you get high-quality original models and carefully edited designs that make every mega form stand out on the battlefield or while exploring your server.
What Makes These Mega Evolutions Special
The creator’s philosophy is clear: every mega should offer a visual and mechanical upgrade that surprises you. From the majestic legendary birds to overlooked favorites, each addition is built from the ground up or heavily modified. The result is a collection that respects the source material while injecting new life into your Cobblemon world. Whether you are battling friends or filling out a living Pokedex, these megas add depth and variety that the base mod doesn’t provide.
Current Mega Evolutions Available
The datapack already includes a solid lineup of mega forms. You can unlock and use these right now:
- Articuno
- Zapdos
- Moltres
- Haxorus
- Hypno
- Krookodile
- Heliolisk
- Luxray
- Octillery
- Serperior
- Flygon
- Liepard
Each mega form has its own crafting recipe, which you can find by clicking through the in-game guide or checking the community resources. The legendary bird trio, for example, receives striking new looks that make them feel like true titans, while Flygon and Serperior get elegant redesigns that fit their personalities perfectly.
Upcoming Megas and Community Involvement
The project is actively growing, with a queue of future megas already in development. The following are on the way:
- Crobat
- Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Sylveon
- Purugly
The Eeveelutions are a particularly exciting addition, promising to give each evolution a dramatic power boost and a unique silhouette. Because the datapack is brand new, the creator encourages players to join the Discord community to report bugs, suggest new megas, and stay updated. The stat sheet for all current megas is also available as a Google document, so you can plan your team strategy with exact numbers.
Installation and Compatibility
To get Xadok’s Megas working, you need Cobblemon: Mega Showdown as a dependency. Without it, the mega evolutions won’t function. Compatibility with other mega datapacks isn’t guaranteed, so it’s best to test in a single-player world before adding it to a larger modpack. The installation process is straightforward but requires placing files in the right directories:
- Put the datapack into the datapacks folder of your world (found inside the saves folder of your mod directory).
- Add the resource pack to the resourcepacks folder of your mod folder.
- Also place the datapack into the datapacks folder of your mod folder itself for global availability.
Managing multiple datapacks and resource packs can get messy, but many players find that using a modern launcher streamlines the whole process. For instance, the foxygame.net launcher lets you download and organize mods and datapacks directly from its menu, making it a convenient and flexible way to keep your Cobblemon setup tidy without digging through folder structures manually.
Using Xadok’s Megas in Modpacks and Servers
You are free to include this datapack in any modpack, which is great news for server owners and pack creators. The only requirement is proper credit if you use the original models as a base for your own work. This open approach helps the Cobblemon community grow while respecting the artist’s effort. The creator also runs a Ko-fi page and a shop for those who want to support ongoing development, but the datapack itself remains freely accessible.
Why This Datapack Stands Out
Many mega evolution add-ons rely on simple texture swaps, but Xadok’s Megas prioritizes quality over quantity. Each model is either completely new or a high-quality edit, so Liepard’s mega form doesn’t just look like a bigger cat — it gains a regal, intimidating presence. The same care extends to stats, which are documented in a detailed sheet, ensuring that every mega feels balanced and worth the effort to obtain. Whether you are a competitive battler or a collector, the variety keeps gameplay fresh.
Final Thoughts
Xadok’s Megas fills a gap that many Cobblemon fans have felt since the mod’s release. It adds fan-favorite megas that weren’t included in the base experience, all while maintaining a high standard of design. The project is still evolving, so expect more content as the community provides feedback. If you love the idea of seeing Serperior, Flygon, or the legendary birds in their ultimate forms, this datapack is a must-have. Just remember to pair it with Mega Showdown, drop the files in the right folders, and start crafting those mega stones. Your next Cobblemon adventure is about to get a whole lot bigger.
