Items

Pixelmon Grass

Pixelmon grass is ornamental grass that resembles the tall grass from the Generation 3 Pokémon games. By default, Pixelmon grass is purely cosmetic, but a config option will cause the grass to mimic wild Pokémon encounters in the Pokémon games; if players walk through the grass, wild Pokémon battles may randomly occur. The Pokémon that can appear in this manner, their rarities, and which biomes they appear in can be customized in the config files or with the /grassadd command. It is also possible to disable normal Pokémon spawning, causing Pixelmon grass to become to only way that Pokémon can spawn.

PokéCoins

PokéCoins are items that are intended to be used as currency. By default, PokéCoins can only be obtained by spawning them in, but a config option can allow Pokémon to drop random amounts of $1 and $10 PokéCoins. Another config option can customize the chance of Pokémon dropping PokéCoins.

• $1 PokéCoin
• $5 PokéCoin
• $10 PokéCoin
• $50 PokéCoin
• $100 PokéCoin

Radio

A radio allows players to choose a YouTube video (via URL) and have its audio play in the game. It also allows players to choose whether or not to loop the audio clip.

Lamps

Lamps emit colored light that corresponds to their color. There are seven different kinds of lamps, which are all crafted with redstone torches and matching colors of stained glass panes.

Conveyor

A conveyor causes any entity (including players, Pokémon, and items) that passes over it to be quickly propelled in the direction that the conveyor is facing.

Sewage

Sewage acts like water, following the same fluid dynamics. However, it is a thick brown color, mostly obscuring what it covers (although such objects are still barely visible). While submerged in sewage, it will appear to look similar to being underwater, with the fluid's color and visibility matching water's. Like water, players and Pokémon can drown inside of sewage, although the speed at which damage is taken is no different than normal water despite the implications of uncleanliness.

PixelBoy

A PixelBoy is a Game Boy Color emulator. To use it, the player's system must contain compatible ROMs. It also doubles as a notepad ("Notepad--"), but the contents of the notepad will disappear if the player exits the notepad screen.

Minerals

PixelUtilities introduces five types of minerals: rubies, sapphires, amethysts, crystals, and silicon.

Ores

All five types of ore introduced with PixelUtilities spawn within stone from height levels 1 to 64. Each ore's maximum vein size is different:

Ore	Vein size
Ruby Ore	7
Sapphire Ore	5
Amethyst Ore	6
Crystal Ore	6
Silicon Ore	4

All five ores require an iron pickaxe or better to mine. They drop in block form and need to be smelted in order to be used.

Mineral blocks

All minerals besides silicon can be made into decorative blocks.

Tools

Rubies, sapphires, amethysts, and crystal can all be crafted into tools. PixelUtilities also introduces tools made out of evolution stones.

Config settings

PixelUtilities uses three different config files.

pixelutilities.cfg

• "Allow Pixelmon spawning via Pixelmon grass": This causes players that walk through Pixelmon grass to randomly be engaged in wild Pokémon battles.
• "Battle Music Enabled": This causes a specified music clip to be played while players are in battle.
• "BattleMusic Music Song URL": This is a URL to the YouTube video where the battle music will derive from. By default, the music is a remix of the wild Pokémon battle theme from the Generation 1 Pokémon games.
• "Make Pixelmon drop PokéCoins": Whether or not Pokémon may occasionally drop a random amount of PokéCoins.
• "Only spawn Pixelmon in grass": This setting causes Pokémon to only spawn from random encounters in Pixelmon grass; Pokémon will not spawn randomly in the world.
• "Pixelmon coin drop rate": The chance of Pokémon dropping PokéCoins (1/x). This value can be between 4 and 100.
• "Pixelmon in grass spawn rate": The chance of Pokémon encounters in Pixelmon grass. A higher value makes the encounter rate lower.

pixelutilities-drops.cfg

• "Items for Pixelmon to drop": Items that are configured to be dropped by all Pokémon are listed here.

pixelutilities-spawner.cfg

• "encounter lists": For each biome, a list of Pokémon that will spawn in that biome from Pixelmon grass encounters can be configured.
• "special spawn rates": The rarity of Pixelmon grass encounters for each biome.
