- Pixelmon server 24/7 Iceymon (MOD: pixelmon is needed) Updated on Aug 27th, 2014, 8/27/14 4:03:55 pm Published on Apr 25th, 2013, 4/25/13 3:02 pm 28 diamonds.
- Features of our server:-Modpack is our own (The Pokecraft Mod on Curseforge)-Quick commands like /pokeheal, /pc, /spawn, /hunt ontop of many other quality of life commands are free!-Luckperms setup with ranks and permissions-Server is OURS, literally. I host this from home with 99% uptime on a gigabit connection.
Fixed a held item duplication trick connected to battles on servers. No more dupes 4 u. Fixed Pixelmon donation sashes sometimes not appearing on other people in-game. Fixed ranch blocks being very invisible in most cases. Fishing rods can no longer be used to pull entities that are unable to be pushed, like stationary trainers and armour stands. Pixelmon combines the concept of minecraft and pokemon together to create a free-roaming, pokemon adventure in the world of minecraft. Phantom Pixelmon is the perfect place to start. Here at Phantom Pixelmon we believe all players have the right to enjoy Pixelmon on a well-made server without the worry of overbearing staff or restrictive rules. Within the mod itself is a block called Pixemon Grass which functions the same as grass in all the pokemon games. You walk through it and pixelmon native to the current biome attack. This would allow for the server to disable wandering pixelmon and still allow players to battle in the wild and capture pixelmon.
PixelmonCraft Pixelmon Server
PixelmonCraft is a Pokemon themed Minecraft Pixelmon Server where players around the globe meet and befriend eachother. Join in the fun and download Pixelmon!
Are you a fan of Minecraft? Are you a fan of Pokemon? Then you are in the right place! Pixelmoncraft combines the two on our player friendly Pixelmon Server.
PixemonCraft takes the popular Pokémon-themed Pixelmon mod and makes it multiplayer. Split over multiple servers based on the Pokémon regions from the super-popular Nintendo games, PixelmonCraft not only recreates the areas and towns of those games, but also replicates as much of the gameplay as possible. Animals in Minecraft are not only replaced with Pokémon, but they can be caught and battled with. There are gym leaders to fight, Pokémarts to shop in, and long-grass to avoid.
The blocky nature of Minecraft cutely replicates the feel of the Pokémon games, and makes this genuinely feel like an accurate depiction of a Pokémon MMO. There’s an authentic feel of love on the server, with a friendliness and warmth that only forcing cute animals to maul each other to near-death can provide.
This page will go over the steps to set up a Pixelmon Generations server! Before reading through the steps, it is recommended to read the Information and Requirements and the Local Host vs Online Host sections to understand differences and requirements.
This tutorial will primarily focus on Local Host setups as Online Host methods vary depending on the host. It is recommended to look around and read FAQs about your host prior to installing.
- 2Local Host vs Online Host
- 4Step 2: Starting the Server
Information and Requirements
- Pixelmon Generations currently runs on Minecraft 1.12.2. Using any other version with the mod will cause massive issues and may not work at all. We strongly recommend using the current version.
- Pixelmon Generations currently runs on Forge version 2847 for 1.12.2. When referred to as the current Forge version in this guide, please use the version listed above unless the version has been updated.
- The server must have at least Java 8 Installed on the machine. Please check your machine or asking your hosting company for information on this. If you don’t have it installed, look up install instructions for your operating system.
- Other mods may be used together with Pixelmon Generations. We cannot guarantee that there will be no conflicts between mods, so please do so at your own risk. Please check the incompatibility list page for more information before installing them.
- In order for players to join your server, they must be running the same version of Pixelmon Generations, Minecraft, and Forge for a successful, bug-free experience. A different Forge version may be used client-side, but bugs may appear. If you are creating a modpack, please use the current Forge version listed above as your version.
Local Host vs Online Host
Before creating your server, there are a few differences between hosting methods. please read the information below to understand which.
Pixelmon Minecraft Servers - Minecraft Server List
Local Hosts
Local Hosts are best used when creating a server for close friends to join or for personal testing. Local Host servers run off your own machine which means their dependence upon the specifications of your computer. If you decide to allow external connections, your computer can be at risk due to the requirement of Port Forwarding, which essentially opens a hole in your Firewall! If you plan to allow external connections, we recommend not using local hosting.
If you do choose to localhost and are looking to allow remote connections, please read this guide from the Minecraft Wiki to learn how to port forward.
Online Hosts
Online Hosts are always the preferred solution unless you have a dedicated at-home setup and you know what you are doing! However, online hosts must typically be paid for, but do provide significant benefits. Stability is typically higher but is dependent on the hosting company. Vulnerability is lower as most hosts provide DDOS protection and general protections. Some hosts do provide free plans, but these can become very ineffective in hosting solutions.
Generally, it’s recommended to use Local Hosts when playing with close friends for easy hosting, while Online Hosts are recommended when going public or something dedicated. However, if you still want to rent one online, or are deciding to make a public server, we recommend BisectHosting to host them.
Note: If your server is going public, consider joining the Server Owner's Discord!
Step 1: Initial Forge Setup
There are multiple methods of installing Forge on your server. Listed below is the simplest way to do so. If you are using an online host, they may provide simple tools to install Forge.

- Depending on your computer, download either (Windows)
Installer-win
or (Linux/MacOS)Installer
. - After downloading, run the file and select the option
Install Server
and choose the installation location. - Move the files that were installed by the Forge Installer into the main server folder.
Step 2: Starting the Server
Starting the server can also be done in multiple ways. Again, below is the simplest way to do so. Depending on the operating system of your computer/the server, please choose one of the following instructions. Note that if you are using an online host, there may be ways to start the server by clicking Start

127.0.0.1
orlocalhost
. External connections can be made via<your-ip-here>:25565
after Port Forwarding. - Online Hosts are dependent upon the IP address that your host has given you. Check with your host provider.
