[Play Pixelmon](#play-pixelmon) *** ## Installing Minecraft Launcher Downloading the launcher is incredibly easy, and there is two ways you can actually get access to it. You can either download it directly from the website via this link:

Or alternatively you can download it through the Xbox App / Microsoft Store: \[]

From there all you need to do is log into your Minecraft/Microsoft account to log into the launcher. This is the **same log-in** used for any other supported Minecraft launcher like Modrinth or Curseforge. ## Installing Neoforge Now that you have the Launcher installed, the next step is to download the Neoforge Launcher which will act as a profile for you to chose when you want to run mods. You can **download neoforge from the same link you will getting the Pixelmon mod from**:

Once you have opened the website, you will need to click on the **1.21 (Neoforge 21.1.200)** option which will download the Neoforge Launcher directly to your computer. In this launcher you want to make sure you choose the **Install Client** option and select proceed in which it'll start the process of creating thee profile for you on the launcher.

If you had no issues with installing it, you should get a message like this:

From there make sure you have **Create Profile ticked** and then you can choose the **Install** option. From there you can go ahead and open your **Minecraft Launcher** and you should see it state **Neoforge Loader** within the launcher as shown in the screenshot below:

You can now click on **Play** which will bring up a warning. You can **confirm that you understand the risks** and this will start installing everything needed for that version of Minecraft. It will then launch Minecraft and if you have done everything right up to this point, **it will state the version of Minecraft as well as Neoforge in the bottom left of the Minecraft game**.

You can now close down Minecraft, and we go ahead and start downloading the Pixelmon Mod. ## Installing Pixelmon Mod Now that you have the Launcher and Neoforge installed, the next step is to download the **official Pixelmon mod** via the same link: If you are on the correct page, it should be similar as to what is shown below. From there you want to click on the big green **Download 9.3.16 (RECOMMENDED)** button shown on the left side of the page.

From there you will be taken to a adfoc.us website where all you need to do is click **Skip** at the top right of the page which should automatically download the mod for you. You can see what this button looks like below:

Now that you have the Pixelmon Mod, you will want to head back into the Minecraft Launcher. Jump over to Installations and in the Neoforge Profile created you want to click onto the Folder symbol which will open the Installations Folder.

Now that you are within your Installations Folder, you want to open the **Mods** folder and place both the **Pixelmon Mod** you downloaded into there. Your folder should look as shown below:

You can add anymore compatible mods you wish into this folder. Please be aware that **using any exploitable mods on the server will result in a permanent ban**. ## Play Pixelmon Now that you have both Neoforge and Pixelmon installed, the only thing you need to start doing now is playing Pixelmon. Press Play on the Minecraft Launcher to load Minecraft and click onto the Multiplayer button.

From there, click onto Add Server, and enter the IP `pixelmon.mmorealms.gg` into the Server Address bar and then make sure Server Resource Packs is on Prompt which will download the servers resource pack instantly when joining which is needed for playing on the server. If you have done it correct, your screen should show as follows:

Now you click on Done which will bring up the Server within the server list. You can hover over the logo and click the **Play symbol** or **double click** to start loading into the MMO Realms server! --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
