How can I play Pixelmon on Minecraft?

You can play Pixelmon on Minecraft Java Edition by installing a Pixelmon modpack through the CurseForge app, which will automatically install the correct version of Forge (or NeoForge) and add the Pixelmon JAR to your mods folder. Simply open the CurseForge app, search for “Pixelmon,” click “Install,” on the Pixelmon version you want and then launch the new Pixelmon profile. You’ll then spawn in a world enhanced with Pokémon, custom items, and battle mechanics.

Is Pixelmon still playable?

Yes, Pixelmon is still available, it continues to be maintained and updated for modern Minecraft versions, ensuring full compatibility and new features. You can download the mod or modpack on the CurseForge app by searching for Pixelmon and hitting the “Install” button.

Is Pixelmon only for Java?

Yes, Pixelmon is only suitable with Minecraft: Java Edition. This is because the Java Edition's open architecture supports the complex modifications Pixelmon requires, unlike Minecraft: Bedrock Edition which uses a more limited add-on system.

Can you play Pixelmon without the mod?

No, Pixelmon is a very large mod that changes Minecraft drastically, adding all of the Pokémon, mechanics, and items. This means you have to download and install the mod or a modpack that contains the mod to play it.
