How to Install Pixelmon
Installing Pixelmon, a popular mod for Minecraft that adds Pokémon to the game, can be a thrilling experience for fans of both Minecraft and Pokémon. This guide will walk you through the steps to install Pixelmon on your Minecraft server or client. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced Minecraft player, follow these instructions to bring the world of Pokémon to your Minecraft adventures.
Step 1: Check System Requirements
Before you begin the installation process, ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for running Pixelmon. Pixelmon is compatible with Minecraft versions 1.12.2 and 1.14.4. Make sure you have the appropriate version of Minecraft installed on your computer.
Step 2: Download Pixelmon
Visit the Pixelmon website (https://pixelmonmod.com/) and download the latest version of the Pixelmon mod. Choose the version that matches your Minecraft version (1.12.2 or 1.14.4). After downloading, extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your computer.
Step 3: Install Minecraft Forge
Pixelmon requires Minecraft Forge to function properly. Download the Minecraft Forge installer from the official website (https://files.minecraftforge.net/). Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install Forge on your computer. Make sure to select the version of Forge that matches your Minecraft version.
Step 4: Install the Pixelmon Mod
Copy the extracted Pixelmon mod folder (from Step 2) into the “mods” folder of your Minecraft installation directory. If you don’t have a “mods” folder, create one. The default installation directory for Minecraft is usually “C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft” or “C:\Program Files\Minecraft” on Windows, and “/Applications/Minecraft” on macOS.
Step 5: Install the Pokémon Data Pack
Pixelmon requires a Pokémon Data Pack to function correctly. Download the latest Pokémon Data Pack from the Pixelmon website. Extract the contents of the zip file and place the “data” folder inside the “data” folder of your Minecraft installation directory.
Step 6: Launch Minecraft
Open Minecraft and select the Forge profile you created in Step 3. You should now see Pixelmon listed as a mod in the game. Click “Play” to start your Pokémon adventure.
Step 7: Enjoy Pixelmon
