    About

    Pixelmon brings Pokémon into Minecraft as an open-world collection, training, and battle experience, with Pokémon appearing throughout the world and players able to capture, trade, and breed them. Its roster spans Pokémon from Generations 1 through 9, with handcrafted models and animations, as well as special forms such as seasonal Pokémon and Ashen, Strike, and Spirit variants. Explore custom towns and facilities, including Poké Centers for healing, Poké Marts, villages, type-themed towns, Gym arenas, Dynamax Dens, legendary shrines, ancient ruins, and treasure-filled grottos. Pokémon encounters vary by biome, and players can pursue regional and themed Pokédexes, take on research quests from Professor Wisteria, and earn rewards by tracking down species. Battles include familiar turn-based choices alongside Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Dynamaxing, Horde Battles, and raid encounters; Gym challenges and stronger boss Pokémon add further tests for a trained team. Players can develop their teams through experience and stat training, while Daycare breeding lets them hatch Pokémon with chosen moves and desired stats. The mod also adds Pokémon-themed items and world resources, including Poké Balls, TMs, bauxite ore, and Apricorns, along with decorative blocks such as chairs and clocks.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files without running them.

    What it can do on your computer

    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Found in the mod's own code and in code libraries built into it. See Privacy
    Uses folders outside the game
    It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Only in its files for Forge 1.20.1.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · All 5 latest files checked, last on 15 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      5 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 2 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.

    Privacy

    We have not read its code yet

    The file checks found code that connects to the internet (see Security). What it sends is not known yet.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · Code not read yet
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      None yet. See each file in Releases
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
