What is The Pixelmon Modpack?

Pixelmon is a large NeoForge modpack for Minecraft 1.21.1: over 1,000 Pokémon with dedicated models spawn in matching biomes, can be caught with Poké Balls, and battle against each other. Terralith world generation adds denser landscapes, and extra structures give you more to explore and loot.

Unlike the leaner Fabric pack Cobblemon, Pixelmon runs on NeoForge and ships its own soundtrack resource pack — at around 400 MB it's noticeably larger, and boots with more content ready to go from the start.

The base setup includes quality-of-life mods such as JEI for the recipe overview and JourneyMap for the in-game map; Tectonic and Incendium extend world generation with additional biomes and structures beyond Terralith.

On your own server, you decide spawn rates, rules and who plays — unlike a public Pixelmon server with someone else's settings. Catch, train and battle together with your group without a waiting queue.

Cobblemon vs. Pixelmon: Which Pokémon Modpack Fits Your Server?

Cobblemon or Pixelmon for your own server? Loader, version, idle RAM, download size and what your fellow players need, measured on our test servers, with no marketing promises.

Pixelmon Server: Setting Legendary Pokémon Spawns and Spawn Rates

Understanding Pixelmon spawns: we read the files and default values and verified changed legendary spawn values with /checkspawns. The actual spawn effect with players was not measured.

Pixelmon Server: Ranks and Permissions with LuckPerms (NeoForge 1.21.1)

Install LuckPerms on a Pixelmon server with NeoForge 1.21.1, create groups and allow or block Pixelmon commands. With the permission nodes our test server actually knew.

Frequently asked questions

Does the button use the matching configuration?

Yes. The wizard preselects the matching loader; modpack pages also load only the verified featured pack.

Can I change version and RAM later?

Yes. Always check compatibility and create a backup before changing versions.

Do other players need the modpack on their own PC?

Yes. Every player installs The Pixelmon Modpack through a launcher such as the Modrinth App and then connects to your server.

Does crossplay work with phone or console?

No. NeoForge modpacks like Pixelmon only run on Minecraft Java Edition — Bedrock devices can't render the mod content.

What's the difference to Cobblemon?

Cobblemon runs on Fabric and is leaner; Pixelmon runs on NeoForge, ships its own soundtrack resource pack, and is considerably larger — the mod file alone is around 400 MB. You can order either pack with us — which one fits depends on how much content you want.

How much RAM does a Pixelmon server need?

For a start we recommend 6 GB RAM. With many players or extra mods, more may help — you can upgrade the RAM at any time later.
