Cobblemon Server Setup
The following instructions will show you how to set up an always free cloud instance that's fast enough to run a Minecraft 1.21.1
Cobblemon 1.6.1
server.
Create a free cloud instance
Follow this guide to set up a free Oracle Cloud server instance. The free tier can have up to 4-cores, 24gb RAM & 200gb storage. Choose a region that's close to you for low ping.
Download AMP
Grab a copy of CuberCoders AMP game server admin panel for your cloud server from here. Replace the steps in the above guide to install Minecraft with installing AMP instead, and use Ubuntu 24.04 instead of Oracle Linux.
Install AMP on your server
Download your SSH keys during instance setup. Use an app like Termius for easy SSH management, and use it to install CubeCoders AMP on your server. Follow AMP install instructions in Termius console.
Open ports on your server
Visit the Oracle instance security page and add rules to open ports 2224 (TCP)
, 8080 (TCP)
, 8081 (TCP)
and 25565 (TCP & UDP)
.
Log in to AMP and setup Minecraft
Visit your server's IPv4 address in your browser with :8080
on the end of the address to open AMP's web GUI. Create a new game server instance and select Minecraft Java Edition. In Minecraft's configuration (Configuration -> Minecraft -> Server and Startup), choose Fabric version 1.21.1, Loader version 0.16.10 and installer version 1.0.1.
In Java and Memory tab, set memory limit to 20024MB.
Download Server Mods
Download server-side mods from Modrinth to your PC ready to transform your instance in to a Cobblemon server. When clicking the Download button on Modrinth, select Game version 1.21.1 and Platform Fabric.

Upload Server Mods
Use an SFTP client like WinSCP or Cyberduck to upload the mods to the mod folder of your Minecraft server. AMP provides instructions on how to connect.
Restart your server after uploads have completed.
Connect to your server
Using a Cobblemon Modded version of Minecraft, connect to your cloud server's IP address in the Multiplayer window.
