Minecraft on its own is one of the best video games there is, but it can be better with mods such as Pixelmon, one of the most popular Pokémon mods available for the game. Now, this mod is installed on thousands of computers, but not all users know how to take advantage of the commands. We will explain how to use the commands, but before we do, we must first discuss how to install the Pixelmon Mod for Minecraft.

You can download the Java Edition via the official website. Also, make sure you have at least 2GB of RAM for storing the mod.

To install this mod, please visit the official website.
From there, open the installer, then select Install Client.
3] Include Forge to Launch Options
After installing the Forge tool on your computer, open Minecraft: Java Edition.
Navigate to Launch Options, then select Advanced Settings.
Go to Add New, and from under the Version Tab, click on Forge.
Hit the Save button, then close Minecraft.
4] Download and install Pixelmon
From your favorite web browser, go to the official Pixelmon website and download the latest version.
The next step here is to go to Minecraft’s game directory.
Here, you will find a folder titled Mods.
Select and drag the Pixelmon files to the Mods folder.
You can now launch Minecraft: Java Edition and enjoy what the Pixelmon mod offers.
