What is Pixelmon?

Pixelmon is a 3D open world Pokemon game in Minecraft. You can think of Pixelmon as a big modpack for Minecraft that brings hundreds of different type of Pokemons into your Minecraft world. You start the game as a Pokemon character and basically spend rest of your time in the game fighting other Pokemons and exploring the world.

How much RAM does a Pixelmon server need?

Due to its big nature, extensive list of characters and mods it brings to your Minecraft world, Pixelmon is a bit resource intensive modpack. We'd recommend at least 4GB of RAM for playing Pixelmon. If there's gonna be between 5-10 people, consider setting your Pixelmon server on an 8GB RAM server located in a country closest to you for optimum speed and performance. For every additional player we recommend you add at least 600MB extra RAM.

You can create Pokeballs by simply crafting them on a crafting table. All you need is three iron, three cooked acorn and a stone button and you are ready to go. Don't worry as to where to find these materials since they exist in plentiful numbers throughout world and you'll encounter them during your normal workplay while exploring. You are also likely to come across these items in hidden treasure chests along with other handy stuff.

Pixelmon NPC Trainers

You will come across other trainers within the game who are set out to conquer the world as you are. Think of them as prize chests since when you beat them you not only get some currency which you can spend at a nearby Pokemart, but they sometimes drop cool items you may not find elsewhere. There are many types of NPCs in Pixelmon, let's mention a few here. You can read our in-depth guide to find out about the others.

Mareep

When you kill a Mareep NPC Trainer you get a unique type of wool which is a bit hard to come by since there aren't any other normal animals in the game that drop wool.

Magikarp

Magikarp is a fish in Pixelmon just like Pokemon, and when you kill it, well, you get a fish! There's a hundred percent chance of it dropping raw fish, and just five percent chance of dropping a cooked fish. It can be found in water around lily pads, sea lanterns, sponges, sugar canes, and pretty much wherever there's a body of water. Learn mor e about it here

PRO TIP: Don't worry if your Pokemon gets damage during a battle, you can regenerate its health simply by getting in the bed and sleeping off the night. That's exactly why keeping an eue out on Mareeps and taking them out is very important as there's no many other ways to get the wool to make yourself a bed. It can also be obtained by pillaging Pokemon centers.

Pixelmon Pokemon Spawns

Pokemons in Pixelmon spawns randomly. However they mostly spawns in biomes related to their type. So rock Pokemons will spawn in rocky areas like mountains, fish Pokemons like Magikarp will spawn in water and ponds, underground Pokemons will can be found in deserts, bug and plant Pokemons in forests and the list goes on.
