FAQ

Expanded answers for the problems every new PokeHaven trainer hits.

Contents

    Client ready to join multiplayer
    Joining. Server list name is PokeHaven EU. Install PokeHaven EU Client 1.7.42 (CobbleVerse + our UI). Copy the IP from Discord — it can rotate.

    What is the server called?

    PokeHaven EU is the label you type in Multiplayer → Add Server. The coloured MOTD under it comes from the server.

    Why did my Pokémon stop leveling?

    Important

    Level cap — not a bug. Beat the next gym. Check your Trainer Card. See Level cap.

    I can't join the server

    Important

    Wrong pack version is the usual cause. Re-import PokeHaven EU Client 1.7.42 from Discord/Drive. See Getting started.

    Textures look broken

    Fully restart the client after import. If FancyMenu prompts about resources, follow it (sometimes hold T). Re-download the pack if files were interrupted.

    My Empty Map became useless

    Important

    You right-clicked it in the world. Craft a new Empty Map and combine it on the Kanto Cartography Table — Gym maps.

    FTB Chunks claim map
    Claim before you leave valuables. If someone opened your chests, paint FTB Chunks around bed, storage, farm, and waystone. See Claims.

    Seagrass drops nothing

    Important

    Use Shears. Hand-breaking seagrass yields zero in Java Edition.

    Someone opened my chests

    Claim with FTB Chunks immediately.

    Where is Brock?

    Craft Brock’s map with the starter Cartography Table + Brock Map Key + Empty Map. Walkthrough: Brock.

    Where is Misty?

    After Brock, craft her map: Cerulean Star (seagrass needs Shears) + fresh Empty Map on the Kanto Cartography Table. Guides: Misty · Gym maps.

    Do I claim with Open Parties?

    No. On PokeHaven EU use FTB Chunks only. Open Parties and Claims (OPAC) has been removed from the pack so there is only one claims system. See Claims.

    Is there a browser map?

    Yes — BlueMap: http://88.211.214.163:8100. It currently shows online player markers only — it does not show Pokémon or mob locations. More travel tools: Travel.

    How do I get home without a waystone?

    Craft a Hearthstone (cobble + diamonds + ender pearl). Channel 10s, then 15 min cooldown. Waystones stay free and unlimited.

    Where are the sheep?

    Vanilla sheep (and most animals) are blocked. Shear Mareep / Wooloo instead — Pokémon husbandry.

    Can I donate?

    Yes, optionally — donations help keep the server online / upgraded. They're cosmetic only: tiers grant a Discord role (Supporter / Patron / Benefactor) and an optional in-game chat prefix — never a gameplay advantage. Full breakdown: Donations. Links live in Discord #donations.

    How do I craft Poké Balls?

    Full screenshot guide: Poké Balls. More crafts: Essential recipes · Recipe browser.

    Where are normal Minecraft tips?

    Minecraft survival hub — mining, farming, Nether, villages, death, and what this pack changes.

    Is there a quest arrow?

    No floating arrow on the world. Open the quest book with O (Quests) for First Steps → Sinnoh and side goals. If you pin a quest from inside the book, it shows up in a small tracker near the bottom-right of your HUD (next to the minimap/coordinates) — that tracker is the closest thing to a quest arrow, there is still no floating 3D arrow in the world. Still use gym maps, the level cap, and Advancements (Achievements — often L). Post-league: Post-game and legendaries.

    Can I loot villages?

    Yes. Center/house chests are fair game. On PokeHaven EU, emptied loot may refresh later.

    Voice chat key?

    V opens voice chat, Right Alt mutes. Group has no default key — B opens your Backpack instead, so pick a free key for group under Controls. See Voice chat.

    Where is the player wiki?

    pokehaven.wiki — English + Nederlands (flags on the site). Also pinned in Discord #pokehaven-wiki. Start with Getting started, Claims, Gym maps, Brock.

    Where do I ask for help?

    PokeHaven EU Discord — send a screenshot + what you already tried. IP and pack links live in #how-to-join.

    • #help — quick public questions other players can answer too
    • #tickets — private help, reports, appeals, longer staff issues

    Prefer commands? The bot also answers to slash commands like /link and /donate check — full list: Discord commands.

    Can I turn off the level cap?

    Important

    No — not on PokeHaven EU. Beat the next gym. See Level cap.

    Why aren’t Pokémon biting my fishing rod?

    Use a Cobblemon rod (Poke Rod / Lure Rod / …), not only a vanilla Minecraft rod. Guide: Fishing.

    How do shiny odds work?

    Wild base rate is 1 / 2048. Breeding can use Masuda / crystal methods. Full page: Shiny hunting · Breeding.

    I beat Blue — do I restart the server?

    No. On PokeHaven, follow the champion book: Trainer Association → Johto Trainer Card (your cap resets; others unaffected). If Johto structures are missing, ask in Discord — staff may need one restart. Checklist: Mega & late-game · Progression · Blue.

    How do outfits / costumes work?

    Craft trainer clothes with Cloth (wool + string), equip in armor slots. Pokémon looks use cosmetic slots / special items (Pika Case, Furfrou + dye + Shears, Lucario Costume Box). Full guide: Outfits and cosmetics.

    Important

    Cosplay Pikachu cannot evolve into Raichu. Use a normal Pallet Pikachu if you want Raichu.
