Set up Mega Evolutions in a multiplayer server
Preparing your server for Mega Evolutions
Soul Megas is designed to work in multiplayer environments, including custom servers and modpacks. The data pack integrates with server-side mods and battle add-ons to enable Mega Evolution for all players.
Installation and configuration
1. Add the Soul Megas data pack to your server's datapacks folder
2. Install a compatible battle add-on (CobblemonMegas or Flourish recommended) as a server mod
3. Restart your server to load both the data pack and battle mod
4. Test Mega Evolution in a controlled battle to confirm it works
5. Communicate with players about which Pokémon have Mega forms available
Troubleshooting
If Mega Evolutions don't trigger:
- Verify the data pack is enabled (check
/datapack list) - Confirm your battle add-on is installed and compatible with your Cobblemon version
- Check that players have the correct Pokémon with available Mega forms
- Review your battle add-on's configuration for Mega Evolution settings
The data pack works alongside existing server mods without conflicts, making it ideal for competitive servers and custom modpacks.
