Pixelmon installation

The Minecraft launcher profile editor. Sections and buttons that are important for installing Forge and Pixelmon are outlined in blue.

1. Download the latest version of Pixelmon Reforged.
   • Make sure that the downloaded JAR file's size is around 480 MB. If it is significantly smaller (e.g., 0 B), then the download was corrupted, and you should try re-downloading the file.
2. Open the Minecraft launcher.
3. Edit the profile that you installed Forge with.
4. Find the text box labeled "Game directory". To the right of this text box is a folder and a green arrow. Click on the green arrow to open the Minecraft game directory folder.
   • Alternatively, use your system's file browser (e.g., File Explorer, Finder) to navigate to the file path listed in the "Game directory" text box.
5. In the game directory folder, look for a folder named mods. If you do not see a folder with this name, create a mods folder.
6. Place the downloaded Pixelmon file inside the mods folder.
   • Do not extract or unzip the file. Place the JAR file directly into the folder.
7. Save your profile.
8. Navigate to any other tab and start Minecraft.
9. If Minecraft loads without crashing, check the "Mods" section on the main menu. If Pixelmon is listed among the mods that are installed, you have installed Pixelmon correctly.
