• CobbleTowns : Introduces Pokémon villages inspired by the franchise's universe.

1. Download the desired datapack files using the links above.
2. Log in to your server and access the global_packs folder located at the root of the server.
3. Move the downloaded files into the required_data folder to make them active on all maps.
