So before you even find diamonds, you’re at least a block of Iron down and need to find Bauxite ore and smash it on an anvil anyway. A healing station requires glass, aluminum plates and a diamond to make, and aluminum plates require a Pixelmon anvil and a hammer. Or one normal attack, depending on what you pick. Because all it takes is one critical hit to floor your poor starter. My second tip is to just not bother fighting anything until you find a village with a Pokecenter. Once your chosen Pixelmon is dead, it’s basically just normal Minecraft with weird, ill-fitting round models everywhere, until you can revive your buddies.

Setting the game to peaceful is also a big boon because some Pokemon are instantly aggressive to you and your level 5 starter that only has two attacks and having to deal with hunger is kinda annoying. Because that’s the only way you’ll ever get Pokeballs when you first start out. A Moltres, caught in a Pixelmon multiplayer serverįirst off, make sure you give yourself a bonus starting chest. Playing Pixelmon though in a single player environment though is, unless you have access to Creative Mod or cheats or utility mods, extremely depressing.

Obtaining Legendaries isn’t impossible either since you get rewards for catching specific numbers of Pokemon. Even if you start off with nothing at all, you can slowly start catching Pokemon and leveling yourself up, because the server optionally offers you basic things like 5 Pokeballs every 2 hours, as well as daily kits containing a handful of goodies. The server community is very nice (if a bit ravenous and grabby) and, thanks to the various plugins they have, it’s not too hard to actually catch Pokemon.

Lately, I’ve been playing on a very nice multiplayer Pixelmon server that recently upgraded to version 7.0.1 of Pixelmon Reforged, bringing with it all the Pokemon from the Alolan region, Z-Moves and more.
