Hall of Records · 法典The Vision
A world run by its players
The heart of Bích Kinh is not a quest line. It is the economy the players build together.
Emeralds only come out of the ground. Poké Balls, apricorn sprouts and rare Pokémon are scarce. So value doesn't fall from the server: it moves between players. The miner needs the farmer's food, the trainer needs the miner's emeralds, the newcomer needs a house. Every trade, every deal and every favour is part of the game.
The miner
The only source of money on the server. Every emerald in circulation was dug up by someone, and the miner decides how much reaches the market.
The trainer
Catches, raises and trades Pokémon. When a rare spawn is one in a thousand, a good Pokémon is worth real emeralds, and Cobblemon lets players trade them directly.
The farmer and the brewer
Bread, wine, tea, cheese, honey: the Let's Do mods turn farming into a trade. Food and drink are goods that every other player needs.
The orchard keeper
Apricorns never replant on their own, and sprouts cost 32 emerald blocks. Whoever plants an orchard owns something rare.
The household
Houses in the City Wards are bought, lived in and passed on. Marriage and families give players a reason to build something together.
The merchant
Ball prices change from one fletcher to the next. Knowing where the masters are, and carrying goods across the map, is a job in itself.
The Decree
The six laws of the server
奉天承運 皇帝詔曰By the Mandate of Heaven, the Jade Throne decrees:
- 一
Jade comes from the mountain
Emeralds are mined. Nothing and no one hands them out.
- 二
Merchants only take
Villagers trade goods for emeralds and never buy back with them.
- 三
No hand crafts a Poké Ball
They are bought from fletchers, or found by luck in rare chests.
- 四
Legends stay legends
The ultra-rare remain ultra-rare. No lure or snack will change it.
- 五
Orchards do not replant
Apricorns give fruit, never sprouts. Master farmers sell sprouts for 32 emerald blocks.
- 六
Houses and lineages
Villagers have names and families. You may marry and found a household.
Let it be known in every ward and every wild.
欽此 · So it is commanded.
Rarity
How rare is rare?
Every wild spawn first rolls a rarity tier, then picks a Pokémon from that tier that fits the biome, time and weather. The tiers have been reworked so that rare really means rare.
Odds per spawn, before biome, time and weather filters. Alpha herds (new in Cobblemon 1.8) are a group led by an alpha, kept rarer than the default.
Legendaries
112 legendaries and mythicals from Gen 1 to 9, each placed in biomes that fit its story, some in the Nether and the End. They sit inside the ultra-rare tier with a tiny weight, so they are far rarer than 1 in 1,000.
No shortcuts
Fishing, Poké Snacks and habitats normally boost rare spawns. Here their ultra-rare chance is cut to a fifth of the default, so nobody can farm legendaries with a lure.
Biome signatures
Each biome has a few Pokémon you will see constantly. Learn them, and anything else you meet there becomes an event.
Economy
Where emeralds come from
Mining only
Emerald ore, found in mountain biomes, is the only real source of emeralds on the server.
Villagers take, never give
Villager trading is on. Every trade sells goods for emeralds; any trade that would pay emeralds out is removed.
No free emeralds
Emeralds have been stripped from chest loot, trainer rewards and Pokémon drops.
Rare stays rare
Legendaries sit in the ultra-rare spawn pool. Lures and Poké Snacks are tuned so they can't pull legendaries more often.
Apricorns
Ripe apricorns drop fruit but no sprouts. Master farmers occasionally sell all seven sprouts at 32 emerald blocks each, one per trade.
Families
MCA Reborn: villagers have names, homes and families. Players can marry each other and have children.
The Capital
Protection and property
- Nội Thành 內城Imperial QuarterThe town at the centre of the map. Fully protected: no one can build, break or grief there.
- Ngoại Thành 外城City WardsHouses for sale. Ask the staff in game what is available. A bought house is yours to use.
- Hoang Dã 荒野The WildsThe rest of the world. Explore, mine, build and catch.
Players can't claim land themselves. Protected areas are set by the staff.
The Fletchers' Guild
Poké Ball prices
Poké Balls can't be crafted. Some fletcher villagers sell them. The higher the fletcher's level, the lower the price and the smaller the stock. Stock refills when the fletcher works at their station.

Questions
Do I need a paid copy of Minecraft?
Yes. You need Minecraft: Java Edition on a Microsoft account.
Do I have to roleplay?
No one forces a character on you. The capital has its laws and its legend. How deep you play them is your choice.
Can I use my own launcher?
Any launcher that reads .mrpack files works, Prism Launcher for example. The Modrinth App is the simplest.
Can I add my own mods?
Client-side visuals like shaders, or a minimap without radar, are fine. Anything that changes gameplay or gives you an edge is a ban.
How do I earn my first emeralds?
Take a pickaxe and head for the mountains. Emerald ore only forms in mountain biomes.
Can I craft a Healing Machine?
Yes. The Healing Machine stays craftable.
My game is slow. What do I do?
Lower Distant Horizons' render distance first, then turn off shaders. The pack already ships with Sodium.
