In order to start playing Pixelmon you need Forge and the jar file for Pixelmon.
The version of Forge and Pixelmon you need depends on your version Minecraft, so I suggest you look at this updated table:
https://minecraftnotes.com/download-pixelmon-mod/
The above link contains all the download files for every single version of Minecraft that Pixelmon currently works with.
Note that Pixelmon does not work with version 1.11 or 1.12 just yet.
Okay if you guys don’t know about the Pokemon Minecraft mod then visit Minecraft Notes first for a great overview of what it is.
Here’s the installation guide broken down step by step:
First head over to the Pixelmonmod website
To install the mod quickly install Forge
Once you start Forge click the top choice to install the files. It will say that it has installed an “x” number of files when you’re done.
The mods are saved as jar files on your computer. Just find your installation location and copy paste the jar files into the subfolder called mods in your Minecraft directory.
Almost done! Now you just have to open up Minecraft and select the very bottom Forge version from the drop down menu.
There! You’re done! If you have any questions just leave a comment for me below.
