UltraUnit17 – Top Pixelmon Minecraft Mods

Hey Crystal Sarah welcome back to another Minecraft video here on the channel today we are once again in the Pixelmon Mod and today’s video is going to be talking about what mods I believe are the most crucial and important to have installed for your Pixelmon adventure to be the best it can possibly

Be so what I’m talking about is essentially what other mods you could add into your Pixelmon Modpack to make pick some more fun to use to go mods that might help you progress in Pixelmon or mods that just might help the experience be a whole lot better so

We’re not really talking about Pixelmon specifically today but we are talking about what mods you can add in with Pixelmon so if I remember I will try to have in the description all the mods I spoke of today so you guys can check them out it’ll either be a a link to my

Mod showcase upset mod or a download link and why is there a level 100 trainer just chilling here not going to question that also one more thing I wanted to say for anyone who is playing Pixelmon on the newest version having trouble finding pokestops I literally just found one right now

Uh they spawn at these Waypoint areas that you could do locate to well locate but uh it’s not always guaranteed there’s it’s a random chance of finding them but once you do as you can see you get some cool items from it but I just want to throw that in there really

Quickly for those who may or may not have used Pixelmon in a minute if you’re on the most recent version there are pokestops in Pixelmon now yes you heard me right I recommend checking out the showcase for that also speaking of the top right hand corner will be links to

Videos that I may or may not have referenced in this particular video but let’s get started so I’m just going to sort of fly around the Pixma world and have this discussion you guys know my discussion videos go and we’ll go from there so the first thing I want to talk

About is the first mod that I think is very important to have with your Pixelmon is a type of mini map mod so as you can see the top right hand corner uh this is mini mod I like using which is xerox’s minimap um it’s a it’s a basic mini map it’s

Nothing too complicated it doesn’t have many controls besides just really setting waypoints and you can still see the Pixelmon names if I hit tab on the screen but I know there are people that like using a journey map I believe it is called is probably the most recommended one

And I think even in the Pixma mod pack you can download on the Pixelmon website has Journey map so and that one I believe shows the icons of the actual Pokemon rather than just little little dots with their names uh so you guys can pick whichever one you want but I do

Recommend having a minimap mod install because you can set waypoints you can sort of you know see things around you especially if a legendary Pokemon spots it’s very useful to know exactly where it is to get midpoints location and go to it and go from there

Um like I said it’s probably the second most important mod you want to have installed next to just being Pixelmon itself after that uh this is an optional one but one that I find can enhance your experience if you want to add a little bit more Randomness to your world is the

Pixelmon Lucky Block Mod specifically the Pixelmon one I just reviewed it recently there’s one for the version of 1.16.5 Pixelmon now and that being said also I should mention that this guide this video is specifically for Pixelmon uh 1.16.5 so Minecraft version 1.16.5 Pixelmon version 9.0.10 it’s the most

Recent version of Pixelmon and I do think Pixelmon is gonna have another massive update students to stay tuned on the channel for that but yeah uh Pixelmon Lucky Block Mod very useful if you guys don’t know what it does essentially it allows these lucky blocks to spawn your world though when you

Break them it can spawn in random Pixelmon being legendaries Ultra beasts you can even get some cool items like master ball Loot and stuff it’s pretty crazy and recommended to enhance your Pixelmon Adventure if you want to add some luck to it it is overpowered though so if

You’re a type person that wants to find everything in the mod legitimately and you don’t want to get things just handed to you then perhaps it’s not the mod for you but it is an option nonetheless following that uh this is another optional thing you could add in since

Pixelmon’s adding its own structures but any sort of structure or ruins like mod that adds in some extra sort of fluffier World some things to explore like temples and stuff uh that won’t change up it won’t change any of the spawning of Pixelmon since Pixelmon spawn and biome specifically you could add

Structures to your world any mod you know that adds in structures it’s worth adding if you just want to add some exploration to your world and you don’t really want to worry too much about um things looking Bland you know what I mean that being said along with that I

Will bring up that uh you’re gonna need a storage mod any mod that enhances your storage because vanilla Minecraft chests do not do it for anyone you’re going to want to add any sort of like um the iron Chest mod I like using the uh applied energistics mod which adds in

Like the infinite storage machine but that’s a complicated mod if you don’t want to do techie stuff I always just game mode in the thing because it’s it’s just an enhanced storage thing I could care less about going through all the process of crafting a infinite storage

When I can just get it you know because again you’re playing Pixelmon you’re not playing Minecraft you’re not supposed to do Mining and stuff you want to just have fun with catching Pokemon in Minecraft that’s the whole point of it but any sort of storage mod that enhances your your capabilities of

Storing items I recommend backpack mods too but Pixelmon itself has its own backpack now if you guys didn’t know uh I think it’s called just bag yeah you can get these uh poker bags in your world now which literally uh store Pokemon Loot and it also allows you to

Use items that are stored in those bags in like battles and stuff whereas before you couldn’t really do that which is nice now so you can store all your pokeballs all your potions and healing items in those and it it frees up your space of inventory a little bit more

Also shout outs to the crystal Onyx that just randomly spawned in front of me yes Crystal onix’s do exist in Pixelmon you can’t catch them I was actually gonna make a guide on this guy uh but I think it’s really funny one just kind of spawned in front of me

Uh that being said next up uh this is another optional thing if you really want to but if you want to have a faster way of smelting items you do have to smelt a bunch of ore and Pixelmon um install some sort of furnace mod you know mo furnace mod more furnaces

There’s a bunch of mods like that that just add in enhanced furnaces that will you know smelt stuff a lot easier a lot quicker and you don’t have to worry about that because again the whole point of Pixelmon is you’re not supposed to be playing Minecraft you’re supposed to

Just enjoy oh that’s a weird spawning structure you’re supposed to just enjoy uh the adventure of catching Pokemon in Minecraft you’re not supposed it’s you’re supposed to in my opinion everything else should be easier and the only thing that should be giving you trouble is catching a legendary

Pokemon you know what I mean for Pixelmon specifically I know there’s some people that might disagree with that and be like no it’s Minecraft you have to play Minecraft like Minecraft and yes that is true but Pixelmon already adds in a bunch of stuff to change that to make life easier so why

Not add in a few other mods to help with that as well uh that being said helpful things like vein Miner or or excavation now it is called uh that help you you know mine up all the ore with one click of a button versus just pet like you

Know uh tediously mining each block it’s a lot helpful to have vein Miner um you guys know me I love using vein monitor it’s called or excavation now bevmire is a more well-known name so that’s why I’m saying it but yeah it’s a very recommended one I I think that’s a

Good thing to have in your world as well just to help you sort of knock down trees when you need to uh mine up all the ore underground just so it makes things go a lot smoother because again your point of this mod is to catch

Pokemon also shots the box box the boss toxicity here as you can see bosses are still in Pixelmon I gotta say in every video before I get a comment about it but Austin I don’t see any bosses go out and look they’re there trust me anyway

Um any kind of food mod if the uh if you guys didn’t know Pixelmon itself adds in food uh there’s a bunch of food now that you can get in Pixelmon that you can actually eat as a player you can see there’s there’s a bunch of foods like

Right here that you can craft and make and stuff it’s really cool uh I believe the shopkeepers also sell them in the you can find at the Pokemon it’s in the Villages but uh if that’s not a food fruit if you want to add another food mod you can do that too

Um it’s not gonna change anything about Pixelmon because again it’s just adding more food crops that can spawn your world I recommend finding one like uh what’s it called what’s what’s the food mod called the big one croptopia croptopia is a good one and uh Pam’s Harvest craft is another good one I

Think Farmer’s Delight is another mod you could add that adds in food again this is only if you want to get more types of food in your world otherwise it’s not necessary now what is a necessary mod that I think is worth adding in is a biome expansion mod so

Bims are plenty or I think the other one’s called like the bioms you’ll go mod um I recommend them a lot if you want to add more custom Vibes into your world and Pixelmon is compatible with both of those mods which means that the Pixelmon

Will spawn in those biomes as well so I do recommend doing that however if you do add those mods in just know if you’re expecting to search for certain Pokemon like you normally would uh there’s a chance they spawn in only those biomes contrary to the vanilla biomes because

It does spread out the spawns a bit more it’s a harder time finding certain Pokemon because they might only be exclusive to like the Volcano by them you know what I mean stuff like that exclusive items that are only in those mods um but it is fun to explore custom

Biomes in in Minecraft as always and with pixelbot again your whole Poise exploration it’s worth having if that’s the the case now that’s all the mods I would recommend but one thing I would recommend not installing is a mod that adds in other mobs because if you guys didn’t know with

Pixelmon there are no Natural Mobs spawning it’s only the Pokemon that you will encounter in your world you do not want to add in a mod like Alex’s mobs which is going to add in mobs because one they probably won’t even spawn in and two there’s a chance it’ll it’ll glitch the Pixelmon

And they won’t be able to uh spawn properly so don’t add any mods that add in other mobs spotting or have a chance of spawning it won’t work uh not even like a village based mod or like an iron golem mod don’t do it there’s no point

One and two like I said there’s already custom villagers and stuff in Pixelmon so it might mess with them so just don’t do it that’s my one piece of advice another piece of advice is do not install OptiFine I know for some reason people still think optifine’s a good mod

To have in the year 2022 but the mod does not work well with Pixelmon for those that know OptiFine is a mod that’s supposed to reduce lag in your in Minecraft it’s supposed to make your computer be able to run Minecraft easier Minecraft nowadays already has that stuff built into the settings you’re

Supposed to edit your settings for that and it’s supposed to be optimized for that I know some people say well I can’t even run vanilla Minecraft without my PC blue screening crashing or lagging so that’s why I have OptiFine yes but with pixel okay so what OptiFine does is it

Changes the files of your Minecraft so things do run smoother with Pixelmon Pixelmon adds in all these unique Uh custom um textures for the different Pokemon and stuff and what OptiFine will end up doing sometimes is erasing those textures and sometimes Pokemon will be invisible they won’t even spawn font or

It’ll just crash your game and I’ve gotten several comments where people are like my PO my Pixma won’t even load or when I go to pick my starter it just crashes why is this happening and I’m like do you have OptiFine installed and they’re like yes and I’m like that’s why

You can’t have OptiFine installed with Pixelmon now Pixelmon does eat up a lot of memory it does it’s it’s a very strenuous mod it’s one of the biggest mods in Minecraft though uh if you are already having trouble running vanilla Minecraft you’re not going to be able to run

Pixelmon that’s just how it is there’s no other way to say besides just you’re gonna have to get yourself a better computer um and that’s the only advice I can say there’s there’s no like what cut around for that if you can run it then by all

Means run it but don’t install optified to try to make it run easier it’s just gonna cause more problems and if you’re one of the few people that has OptiFine running with Pixma with no issues that by all means but if you’re having trouble running Pixelmon do you have optified installed it’s most

Likely optifine’s fault that’s been an issue with optified since its creation back in like 2012. it’s always had trouble running with mods that change textures of things in Minecraft anyway all now that all that rants over I was hoping to make this an under 10 minute

Video but you know I had to rant about OptiFine for a bit uh that is all I can really say like that’s it for the video uh if you guys have any mods that you personally like running with Pixelmon feel free to drop them in the comment

Section down below so other people can check can I read up on that and see maybe they’ll be interested in adding in but I’ve pretty much gone over the basics again just to top it all off what you’re going to want to get for the most part

Is a minimap mod any sort of mod that that makes your spirits better like um an or excavation mod a storage based mod and if you want exploration or additional things to do add in like a food mod or a biomes plus mod something like that either way uh pixelmon’s the fun mod

It’s still updating it’s in 1.16.5 now and it literally has updated every month so far this year for the most part I’m pretty sure and I you know I can’t say anything bad about it it’s been amazing they keep adding amazing features to it like pokestops hey look I just found

Another pokestop uh it’s pretty crazy now I recommend installing it I recommend running if you’re a fan of Pokemon this is the mod for you you don’t even have to know to play Minecraft for the most part you can just if you really want to Game Mode creative

Put give yourself all the items from Minecraft and just go and have fun with the Pokemon catch all the Pokemon every Pokemon from gen’s one through eight are in here even the Pokemon from Legends Arceus are in this mod we have daycare centers we have Pokemon centers we have

Pokemon and they are working to add back in all the gyms I feel like the gyms is going to be their next huge update and it’s going to add in custom gyms like we’ve never seen before and I cannot wait this is definitely a true Pokemon Gamers dream if you’re a

Fan of any of the Pokemon games if you’ve liked Pokemon the anime the video games the card game anything this is probably the best mod that I could ever recommend to you if you enjoy playing Minecraft because it literally is the best Pokemon experience in my opinion because the difference between this and

All other games is one every single Pokemon is in it you don’t have to jump through any Hoops to transfer them into this game that you can all spawn in the world and there’s also all the custom Pokemon that you all know love like the crystal Onyx I showed that spawn the

World pink Pokemon spawn your spirit forms of different Pokemon we have zombie Pokemon that can spawn boss Pokemon Shiny Pokemon you can even Dynamax gigantomax Mega Evolve and use Z moves all in this mod it all works it’s all perfect and I can’t say anything else besides what are you waiting for

Download this mod and if you want to see the latest showcase that I’ve done for this mod it’ll be linked car top right corner or just search Pixelmon on my channel I’ve been doing a ton of guides recently how to encounter some of these special forms of Pokemon that I spoke of
