Private servers you get to choose an apex whether you want to whitelist your server and just have your friends join or if you want the public to be able to join and have everyone join your pixelmon server that is truly up to you and on top of that you’re gonna need a

Pretty decent computer to run a pixelmon server your hardware needs to be very very good and if you don’t have good hardware you can’t run a pixelmon server but guess what at apex you can because it hosts it on their own hardware so truthfully the easiest way to start a

Below the breakdown xyz slash apex but if you’re okay with hosting a server on your computer meaning you’re gonna need a decent computer to do that and you’re okay with it just being for your friends your family people that you can trust and you want to have the experience of

Hosting your own server because it’s just kind of cool let’s go ahead and jump on into that i’m going to show you every single step including how to start the ford server how to add pixelmon to it all of that stuff now first and foremost we are going to

Start off by downloading pixelmon this could be something that you could download later on as well but we’re going to start off and kind of get it at the front end once you’re here on this download page you can find it the second link down below

It’s going to take you here scroll down and right up here at the top we do have the pixelmon generations mod we have the most recent version right up here we’re gonna go ahead and click on the download button to the right of that it’s gonna take us off to a mediafire

We’re gonna click on that blue download button it’s gonna have a pop up so on and so forth but most importantly in the bottom left it’s gonna start downloading pixelmon generations now this can actually take a minute because of how things are hosted with this so it’s downloading it’s just gonna take

It a second same thing on mozilla firefox it’s downloading now just wait a second once it’s done i will show you done downloading for me i’ll show you how to install it and keep it and all that stuff i do want to mention though on this download page the second link down below

If we scroll down here these are official side mods now you might be wondering what’s a side mod well it’s different things that you can add on top of pixelmon generations that a lot of times are recommended now a lot of these are you know automatically installed on other servers

But you’re hosting your own server so you’re gonna have to install all of them directly now you can click download on all of these go through the process for example if we were to go ahead and click on pixelmon wiki we can click on download here takes us

Off to google drive it’s a bit of a different download process and then but you can click on download there and it will go ahead and start the download now you will need to keep or save the file in the bottom left or save it at the center of your screen on mozilla

Firefox but you can do this for any of these right there are tons of different ones here that you can download install set up all of that stuff now as you can see some of these are just for servers many of them are actually and that’s perfect because we are

Hosting a server right so we want to download them so we’ve downloaded the pixelmon wiki there that’s pretty cool also go ahead and download pixelmon extras i suppose because why not let’s take so again off to google drive we can click on that download button and

It will go ahead and download the bottom left where we will need to keep it now the original pixelmon file that we downloaded from mediafire also can now be kept in the bottom left of google chrome are saved in the center of your screen all of these mods are going to be

Installed the exact same way once we get to that point i will show you that you know like this is where all the mods are going to go but again that is all here so now we can go ahead and move on to downloading forge

This is going to be the third link down below and forge is required to start a forged server obviously as well as run all the pixelmon mods so once you’re on forward you want to scroll down and click on this green download forge button now this tutorial is how to download install

Forge locally your friends will need to install forge and any mods that you have on your server locally as well we’re going to be covering that in this tutorial but if you want to show them how to do that you can send them to this link here

The breakdown of xyz forge linked in the description down below to do that we’re going to click on this green download forge button though once you’re here we want to actually be downloading the 1.12.2 version of forge why is that because if we come back over to pixelmon

We’ll see that it’s forged version 1.12.2 so let’s go ahead and come back over here click on 1.12.2 on the left-hand side and then or 1.12 on the left-hand side excuse me and then click on 1.12.2 then it says mc 1.12.2 here and we want to make sure

What pic what version it says 2 8 2847 of forge right so forged version 1.2.2 1423 and then 2847 at the end so you want to come over here and find version 2847 or newer so as you can see 2854 is higher than 2847 so we want to go ahead

Come under download recommended and click on the installer button there now finally it’s going to take us off to forge where stop don’t click anything on this page do not click a single thing on this page whatsoever except the red skip button that’s going to appear in the top right

After 10 seconds don’t click anything on this page at all except that red skip button in the top right click on that red skip button forge will automatically download in the bottom left so this has forced in the title you’re safe to keep it in google chrome and

Then mozilla firefox will actually pop up in the same screen where you’ll need to save it now we go ahead and minimize our browser we have a lot of things here on the desktop we have the pixelmon wiki mod which is our add-on to the pixelmon generations mod then we also have the

Pixel extras mod which is another add-on mod and then last but not least we do have forge which is actually one of the most important parts of this because well we need forge to be able to install all of these mods now one more thing i want to mention here is

That if you start on your desktop they’re in your downloads folder to find that click the little windows icons in the top left of my screen probably in the bottom left of your screen click on that little exactly on the top or bottom left your screen

Then go ahead and type in downloads in this downloads file folder here click on that and then here we’ll find pixelmon generations and any other mods that you downloaded as well as forge so when you drag those to your desktop it’s just easier to use them

And get them on your server speaking of your server the first thing we actually want to do is go ahead and right click create a new folder and then you want to title this folder truly anything we’re just going to name it pixelmon server right like so right pixelmon

Server now once you’ve got this created you can kind of drag it over here to the side this is going to be our main server folder eventually so it’s important that it’s on your desktop it’s easily accessible all that but here it is we just want to make note

Of it we’re going to use it here in a second so first and foremost we’re going to go ahead and right click on forge click on open with and then if you have java click on it and click ok but if you don’t have java

Here’s what you want to do you want to go ahead to the description down below come here and download and install java for minecraft servers this goes over exactly how to get java minecraft servers whether it’s pixelmon server or minecraft mods or whatever this is a modded minecraft server so you

Definitely need this version of java if you don’t have java there when you tried to open up forge however we also have the jar fix and if your jar files do not look like my jar files right they do not look like this you want to go ahead and run the jar fix

And what this is going to do is take all the draw files and link them to java once again and give you those java logos and make everything look good so now finally we can go ahead and minimize our browser we can right click on forge click on

Open with click on java and click ok now the first time we do this we’re just going to install forge locally so to do that click on install client and click ok it’s going to go through so you can see it says install client profile forwards procession 1.12.2

Okay click on that done now we need to set up the forge server to do that again right click on forge click on open with click on java and click ok and now what we want to do is click on install server we have this big red box up here and

We’ll click on these three lines over here on the right hand side then when we click on those three lights we want to go ahead and click on desktop on the left hand side so again we clicked on those three dots over here three lines over here on the right of

Forge and then we want to click on desktop then we want to find our pixelmon server so right here it is go ahead and click on it should be blue like that and it should say pixelmon server down here in this text box or whatever your folder name is then go ahead and

Click open now the red box disappears and once the red box has disappeared click ok now as you can see stuff is appearing in that folder back there that pixelmon server folder it’s downloading it’s doing things as you can see successfully downloaded minecraft server and installed 1.12.2 forge awesome we click ok

We can now open up the pixelmode server and here it is right here is all of the forged files it downloaded you can actually delete forge from your desktop like the installer that you downloaded if you want at this point now we need to go ahead and run our

Forge server to do this we want to go ahead and right click and create a new text document right and then you can leave that title new text document go ahead and open it up and then in this new text document what you want to do is go to the description down below

And there’ll be codes that look like this right there’ll be codes right here sorry i forgot to do this for the video my bad that looked like this right here there we go so right here so as you can see two gigabytes of speaking about sport

This is how much ram you want your server to have modded servers take a lot of ram so honestly four gigabytes if your computer can spare it is there i’m actually just gonna go with three because my computer can’t spare four gigabytes while i’m recording

So we’re gonna copy that and paste it in here then you wanna go ahead and click file save as and then you can go ahead and save this in your pixelmon server folder as run.bat then you want to come down here and save type as to all files so

It’s very very important that your file name is run.bat and that your save type as is all files then go ahead and click save in the bottom right and then you can close out of the document there but before we click on that file we want to go ahead

And rename our forge file so it should say forge 1.12.2 and have a bunch of stuff and then it may or may not say jar at the end if it doesn’t click on view and then click on file name extension see mine doesn’t say jar now if you click on view and then

Click on file name extensions that dot jar is going to reappear right like so except it didn’t click my bad now we go ahead and click that boom file name extensions are there so now we go ahead and right click on this forge file we have and then rename it forge

Server now if you have the jar files at the end of the beginning it should say dot jar if you didn’t start with the doctor file don’t worry about changing it it’ll just be good as forge server dot jar right like so so now we go ahead and double click on

The run.bat file and when we do that it’s going to go ahead and attempt to start our forge server but spoiler alert it is going to fail it’s not going to work so as you can see it goes through try to start everything but then it says you

Need to agree to the ula in order to run a server go to ul text more information press any key to continue go ahead press any key to continue and in here we have this new ula.txt file double click on that and that’s going to

Open up this go to the eula here and if you agree to the minecraft ula go ahead and change ula equals false to you let equals true write like so and then go ahead and do file save and now we can go ahead and double click on the run.bat file again

At this point it’s actually going to go ahead and start up your forge server you’re going to have things like mods folders appear you’re going to have basically everything get up and running that you need to get up and running for your ford server to be up and running if that makes sense

It’s going to take a while for it to get started but once it is started here you’ll be able to see it’s preparing spawn area and eventually it’ll just say done once it’s done from this point it’s easy to install mods to it and then you can join it which we’re

Going to do but your friends to be able to join it we’re going to have to port forward we’re going to cover all that don’t worry about it but your forge server is now started when the hardest parts of the import forwarding is finished now let’s go ahead and actually stop this server

Why because we’re going to install mods on it so how do you create a pixelmon server well it’s pretty simple you download these pixelmon mods you start this forge server that you’ve now done and then you have this mods folder if you don’t have a mods folder you don’t

Have a forged server so make sure you set up the ford server and use the forward server.jar and all that so let’s go ahead and double click on this mods folder and now what we want to do is take pixelmon generations pick some on wiki and pick them on

Extras and copy those right so highlight them all right click copy then come over here to the mods folder and right click paste and that’s going to move all of these over here right like so and now these are in your mods folder so these should be in the

Mods folder on your minecraft server right like so looks good right so now we’re good the server has these mods on it we need to though install these mods locally before we can actually run them in minecraft so to do that we’re going to go ahead and hit the little windows

Icons in the top left of my screen problem in the bottom left of your screen click in that little windows icon at the top or bottom of your screen right like so then go ahead and type in run are you in you have this run app here go ahead and click on that

And then in this app you want to type percent app data percent right like that percent sign app.percent sign and click ok that’s then going to open up our roaming folder then you want to go ahead and click on the dot minecraft folder and in here you should have a mods folder but

Nick i don’t have a mods folder well guess what i don’t either i don’t even have a mods folder so to get one right click create a new folder taught this folder mods mods all lower case exactly like that double click on that mods folder and now you want to take pixelmon generations

Wiki and extras and drag and drop them into your mods folder every single person on your server has to do what we just did they have to go and install these mods locally that’s why that force tutorial is so important because they need pixelmon extras picking up generations pixelmon wiki and

Any other mod your server has installed on their computer in their forge to join your server nevertheless at this point we can finally go ahead and close out the mods tab we can double click on the run.bat file to start our server on up we can also go ahead and open up the

Minecraft launcher now i’m not going to go through the process of creating your own profile if for whatever reason you don’t have a forged profile but luckily we do have a forged profile it’s 1.12.2 dashboards there however i do need to change the resolution on it so i’m going to go

Ahead and do that really fast go in here and change the resolution and then we can go ahead and click the green play button it’s going to give you this warning it’s 100 safe to run it so go ahead and click i understand the risk don’t worry about this installation

Again and click play now it’s going to go ahead and open up minecraft with forge our server is already opened up with the mods installed this is a lot for my computer to be recording and running all this so i’m going to meet you on the minecraft main menu once

Everything is up and running so here we are we now have minecraft open as you can see and we have our server up and running over here on the left hand side now at this point only you can join your server your friends people like that cannot join

In order to do that you’ll have to do the next step in this tutorial but i just want to make sure that our server is set up and that you can join it so to do that there’s one more thing that we need to do honestly kind of browse i forgot it there

Before opening everything but we want to click the little windows icons in the top left of my screen probably the bottom up to your screen that little one is like on the top and bottom of your screen this time i want to type in cmd we’ll have command prompt here go ahead and

Open that up and then in command prompt we want to type ipcon fig ipconfig exactly like that and hit enter that’s going to give us a bunch of information here i’m going to go ahead and open up notepad because we’re going to copy down some of this information specifically we’re

Going to come up here and copy down our ipv4 address so ipv4 address and for us that’s 192.168.1.123 then we’re also going to grab our default gateway now you may have two default gateways specifically you may have two numbers next to default gateways one that’s going to have numbers and

Letters in it and one that’s just going to have numbers you want the just numbers one it’s most likely under the one with numbers and letters i just have one with numbers though so for me that’s 192.168.1.1 now yours is most likely completely different from mine right and that’s okay

Right that’s why we’re getting these numbers because you’re gonna be different from mine i can’t give you the exact number it’s gonna be for you so you need to come in here and get this stuff now we can go ahead and close out a command prompt our server is still up

In the background and we have minecraft 1.12.2 open with forge as you can see if we click on forge we can see that we have all the mods installed including bios of plenty pixelmon pixel on extras now you might be like i didn’t spell volumes of plenty you did automatically

Pixelmon automatically installs that but nevertheless you can kind of see everything here go ahead and click done now i just want to go ahead and click on multiplayer and you want to click on direct connect then you want to enter in your ipv4 address here so for me that’s 192.168.1.123

Whatever your ipv4 address is and right here then click join server now you should join right on into your server and be good to go if there is any issues most likely they’re coming from the fact that you don’t have uh pixelmon installed locally right you only have it

On your server make sure it’s installed locally but as you can see we’ve joined in here and we can choose whatever one we want here as you can see there’s a bunch of them we’re gonna go ahead and grab the lighten and yeah we are now in game

You can see there’s pokemon there it’s up and running so what do we want to do we want to fight it do we want to bag it let’s go ahead and bag it um pokeballs we don’t have any pokeballs oh this is not good run oh lightning couldn’t escape

Watchdog used sand attack accuracy decreased waiting fight let’s do scratch this is so cool and then you know i mean so it’s pokemon in minecraft as you can see here i kind of i wish i could get away from this because uh yes okay cool we we escaped

Awesome that’s what i wanted to do i wanted this kind of runaway because right now i’m trying to uh i’m trying to do this tutorial obviously but there’s another pokemon there it’s running after me but yeah you get the point this is really really cool there’s tons of

Different pokemon in game and i’m gonna hide here for now but there you have it that’s now set up but your friends can’t join this server and for them to be able to join we’re gonna go ahead and leave minecraft i’m gonna go ahead and leave minecraft

Open here right no reason for that hey look at that playdoughbreakdowncraft.com the best minecraft server on the multiverse one not 16.4 creep protective survival custom skyblock you’ll love it come play with this that’s the ip played on breakdowncraft.com nevertheless we go ahead and minimize that i’m going to

Leave that open but i’m going to stop the server over here on the left hand side you have to stop your server so let’s go ahead and stop that by typing stop in the text box that’s there a little text at the bottom you can type stop hit

Enter then we’ll go ahead and close the server press any key to continue that’s going to close out of that now what we want to do is come over here to our pixelmod server folder we want to find server.properties so right here it is for me server.properties

When i double click on it it’s going to open it with notepad if yours doesn’t go ahead and select to open it with notepad then you want to scroll down until you find server-ip equals right here it is and then next to that we want to go ahead and enter in

Two 192.168.1.123. what is that that is our ipv4 address so that’s gonna be your ipv4 adjust is gonna go right here i said to enter in mine but truthfully you wouldn’t do that you would enter in your ipv4 address here whatever that is it would go

Right here and then we can go ahead and do file save on the server.properties close out of that now we want to go ahead and port forward this is probably where most people get lost when starting a minecraft server it is by far the most complicated part of the process

But we’re going to simplify it as much as possible over 2 million people start minecraft servers so we we’ve got the process pretty down but we’re going to try our best to help you through it here let’s go ahead and open up our browser

We then want to open up a new tab here and then in this new tab we actually want to copy that default gateway that we got earlier right copy that default gateway right like so and then go ahead and paste it right here right just paste it right up where

You would normally type youtube.com the breakdown.xyz breakdowncraft.com right up here at the top then when you enter that in you’re most likely going to land on a page that looks completely different from the page you see on your screen right now guess what that’s perfectly okay because

Right because you want to go ahead and log in to your router so for me it’s just clicking that button boom it’s logged in but if you don’t know your router’s username and password to enter into the login box that’s popped in from the top

Or is in the center of your screen or at the bottom or on the page like this whatever whatever that login box if you don’t know what to enter in there you can find your router username and password here now this is different from your wi-fi password so most likely

You are going to need to come to this separate tutorial and walk your way through it as you can see it uses five methods try method one and then work your way down to method five to get your router password and a username set up and not even set up

But figure out what they are and then add them in over here then finally you will sign in now most likely your router when you sign in is gonna look completely different from my router that’s okay because of two things one we have this tutorial which is how to port forward on

The most popular routers today as with every other link i mentioned in this video it is in the description down below so go down there watch this tutorial it kind of goes through everything that you need to know when it comes to port forwarding your router right so as

You can see this goes through asus netgear uh linksys it’s got att verizon all of that now even if your specific router isn’t linked in this video you should still go watch this video why would i do that nick well because most routers have similar back ends so

You’re going to be able to see all these different back-ends and then once you log into your router you’re going to know the terms you’re going to know all the different stuff that could possibly be port forwarding because you’ve watched this video and seeing all the different ones

So once we’re on our router here for me it is in security for you it may be an advanced it may be an advanced advance it may be in apps and gaming and it means portfolio triggering it might just be called port forwarding it might mean the admin tab

It might be in the security tab it might be in the port forwarding tab and it could be in like i said apps and gaming i think i’ve kind of went through everything but nonetheless for me it is in security then it’s in apps and gaming and then

Finally it’s in single port forwarding right so quite the complicated process to get there now for me i have to click add a new single port forward you may have a big list of ports like that if that’s the case just go ahead and use the first one

But nevertheless let’s go ahead and for our application name or id what you found you’re where you’re going to port forward for your application name or id go ahead and enter in minecraft for your external port internal port for anything that involves the word port at all p-o-r-t anything that

Involves the word port at all you’re gonna enter in two five five six five external ports hey word port two five five six five internal port hey there’s that word port again two five five six five now for protocol we’re gonna either do tcp slash udp udp

Tcp or both if for whatever reason you can’t select both just do this port forward twice do it once for tcp and once for udp however we have the ability to click both so we’re gonna do that for device ip that’s gonna be whatever your ipv4 address is earlier so

In my case that was 192.168.1.123 now you may not have a device ip instead you may have a drop down box of all the devices connected to your internet if that’s the case go ahead and select the computer that you’re starting your server on most likely the one that you know you’re

Playing minecraft on all that whatever device you’re starting your server on go ahead and click on that finally we go ahead and click save we can click apply all that stuff unless you need an external or outside ip for your server most portfolios don’t need this but some

Do but luckily even if you don’t need it for your port forward you need it for joining your server and allowing your friends specifically to join your server because your public ip address is what your friends are going to join with how do you find that well you go to the

Description down below to here and this is our webpage where you can see what your ip address is and as you can see this is blacked out on my screen there’s you can only see 100 here we’ve also got the region city all this stuff this is all the information someone can find

With just your ip address that’s why this is only for your friends your family people you trust people you would give your address to is all you should give this ip address to and that’s why it’s so important so i’m going to go ahead and copy

Our ip address there and as you can see it’s blacked out for me but the 100 will say so it’s 100 here it’ll be 100 in minecraft everything else is blacked out but again if you want a secure minecraft server without having to worry about giving your ip out

Guess what apex is the way to do that now finally we can come back over here to linksys enter in our ip if we need it here minimize our browser now we can start our server finally run.bat start our server right on up we can go ahead and open up minecraft

Right like so and then we can direct connect now this time we’re not going to be directing to our local ip address right instead we’re going to be connecting to that public ip address that we got earlier now some of you won’t be able to connect your public ip address from your own

Computer but if your friends scheduling off your public ip that’s fine because you can always join off of your ipv4 address that we found earlier does that make sense truthfully i would always recommend you joining of your ipv4 address unless you’re testing to see if your public ip works

If it doesn’t work for you though send it to your friend and see if they can join it if they can’t you have an issue with your firewall it could be on your router right where we were just on or it could be like windows defender if

It’s windows defender we do have a link in the description below that will show you how to fix that but nonetheless let’s go ahead and click join server and it will join on in with our public ip address right like so and we are now in game same spot as

Before showing you it is the same server except this time we’ve joined off of our public ip instead of our you know private ip or whatever our ipv4 address that’s just local to us right again you may not be able to join off of your

Public ip but you will always be able to join off your ipv4 address your friends however will have to join off of your public ip also last but not least your friends will need any of those mods that you have on your server installed locally that’s pixelmon pick them on extra any

Other mods that you have will need to be installed but overall this is a really cool mod and i don’t think there’s any denying that you have now created your own pixelmon server if you did enjoy this video if it did help you out give it a thumbs up subscribe to the channel
