Pixelmon servers bring Pokémon collecting, training and battles into a modded Minecraft world. Communities can add gyms, trading systems or custom progression, but the tag does not guarantee those features. Match the exact pack release first, then compare how the server handles teams, trades and resets.

Set up a Pixelmon server
Install Forge/NeoForge and Pixelmon for a dedicated server. Sidemod conflicts are common—start with a minimal pack.

What to check on a Pixelmon server
Verify the pack version
Check Minecraft, the required loader and the Pixelmon release together. Use the community’s documented installation path and avoid mixing files from different pack versions.
Choose a progression style
A survival-focused world, guided gym route and competitive battle hub offer different experiences. Read what is available to new players and what requires applications or progression.
Check team and trade rules
Battle formats can restrict choices and items. Trading may also have limits or staff review, so learn the rules before committing resources to a team.
Read collection retention
Ask separately about Pokémon, player inventories, claims and currency at reset time. A persistent collection does not necessarily mean your base stays on the map.

Pixelmon server FAQs
Do I install Pixelmon or a full modpack?
Use the exact setup specified by the server. Some require additional mods or a particular packaged release beyond the base mod.
Can I connect with a different Pixelmon version?
Do not rely on it. Match the documented client version and update only when the server supports that release.
Does every server have gyms?
No. Gyms, tournaments and story progression are server features to verify in the listing.
Can I keep the same team between servers?
Unrelated servers normally maintain separate player data. Only an explicitly supported transfer process could establish otherwise.
What should I check before trading?
Inspect the offered Pokémon and any relevant attributes, then use the server’s approved trade system. Learn the dispute policy before accepting an exchange.
How does Pixelmon differ from Cobblemon?
They are separate projects. Compare their gameplay and the specific communities available, and do not use one project’s client to join the other’s server.
Project documentation: Pixelmon installation documentation. Server-specific settings and access rules still come from the community.
