Photo

A photo is an item that can resemble any Pokémon minisprite, including both normal and Shiny sprites.

Obtaining

Survival

Photos can be obtained through the use of a camera and some film, by taking a picture of the wild Pokémon through the Camera UI.

Command

Photos can also be obtained by using the /givepixelsprite command, which takes Pokémon specs to generate the Pokémon in the photo that you want.

NBT

You can also create photos by setting the NBT of the "pixelmon:pixelmon_sprite" item. The NBT for the sprite item is as follows

NBT Key	Value Type	Comments
ndex	Short	The pokedex number of the Pokémon
form	String	The name of the form of the Pokémon
gender	Byte	0 for male, 1 for female, and 2 for genderless
palette	String	The name of the palette of the Pokémon
eggCycles	Integer	Only required if the Pokémon is an egg and represents the number of egg cycles remaining (optional)
Nickname	String	The component representation of the nickname for the Pokémon (optional)

Crafting & Paintings

Photos can be used on Pokémon paintings in order to display them. Breaking the painting will allow the photo to be re-obtained. Regular item frames can also be used to display photos, although they are smaller than Pokémon paintings. Unown photos can also be used to craft Unown blocks.

Config settings

• "awardPhotos": If the option is enabled, a wild Pokémon will always drop a single photo of its own species when it is defeated. Shiny Pokémon will drop photos with Shiny minisprites.
• "multiplePhotosOfSamePokemon": If this option is disabled, each player can only take a single photo of a Pokémon.
