Installation/Minecraft
From Pixelmon Wiki
This part of the installation guide covers installing the official Minecraft launcher, and Pixelmon with it.
Forge Installation
Step | Example |
---|---|
Go this page, and find the latest build (at the top, 1.12.2 - 14.23.5.2860) Click the "Installer" button to download the Forge installer. (An advertisement page may appear. Do not click anything except the Skip button that will appear.) | |
Run the installer once it has downloaded, select "Install Client" and hit Ok . | |
Once this is complete, launch the Minecraft Launcher. | |
Click the installations tab near the top. | |
There now should be a Forge profile listed. Check it's here. If it is, you may skip ahead and hit "Play". | |
If your Forge profile is not listed, click "New installation". | |
Under version, look for your installed Forge profile. Once found, select it then click "Create". Then "Play" | |
Once Minecraft has loaded up, the Forge version number should be in the bottom left. Close Minecraft and proceed with the Pixelmon installation. |
Pixelmon Installation
Steps | |
---|---|
Download the latest version of Pixelmon from here. Select the green Download button. | |
Open the Minecraft launcher. Click the "Installations" tab on the header bar of the launcher. | |
Go to your installed Forge profile. Click the folder icon to the right on the profile. | |
There should be a mods folder that has been created now. If there is not one, refresh your view (try the F5 key). If that fails, create one. | |
Place the downloaded Pixelmon file in to the mods folder. Do not extract or edit the downloaded jar. Simply place/copy it in to the mods folder. | |
In the Minecraft Launcher, hit "Play". Check the "Mods" section on the main menu. If Pixelmon is listed here, it was installed correctly. Have fun! |
