Crash Reading 101

From Pixelmon Wiki

Is your game crashing? Well this page is made to help with that. Minecraft like any game has a tendency to crash with the smallest error when running mods. Here are a bunch of crashes from around the Pixelmon forums, compiled into one universal tutorial anyone can understand!

How to use this guide

  • To identify the cause of a crash, look in the section of the crash report under "Description"; this section is near the top of the report. Once you have found this section, search for the first line of that section in this guide by looking down the list or by using your browser's search feature (F8 on most browsers). An example of where to find this line in a crash report is shown in the image below.
  • Each bullet point is a separate crash report, although it is possible for multiple different crashes to be caused by the same underlying issue.
  • If your crash report doesn't match any of these issues, post the full crash report in a website such as Pastebin, and post the resulting link in either the Pixelmon forum's support tracker or the Pixelmon Discord's #log-upload channel.
