Type “%appdata%/.minecraft/mods” into the Start menu search bar and press “Enter.” This is the Minecraft folder on your computer into which all mods must be moved, including Pixelmon.
- Search for “%appdata%/.minecraft” if there is no “mods” folder, then select the option to create a “mods” folder. Pixelmon mods will only work when saved to the “mods” folder.
5
Delete any existing mods from the mod folder. Pixelmon 1.6.2 and 1.6.4 will conflict with all other mods saved to this folder.
6
Click and drag the Pixelmon 1.6.2 or 1.6.4 .jar file over to the “mods” Minecraft folder.

Close and reopen your current session of Minecraft.

Troubleshooting

1
Update Minecraft to the latest version if you experience problems installing Minecraft Forge. In some cases, you might experience problems installing Forge if using an outdated version of Minecraft.
2
Try installing Pixelmon 1.6.2 or 1.6.4 from another source if the first .jar file you download fails to work in Forge. Pixelmon mods are developed by fans and third parties outside of Minecraft, and are not always guaranteed to work.
3
Try updating Java on your computer if Minecraft continues to crash repeatedly or display a blank screen after installing Forge and running mods. Outdated versions of Java can cause Forge and Minecraft to experience problems after installing mods.
4
Repeat all steps outlined in Method One to reinstall Minecraft Forge if the Forge profile is not available on the launcher screen. This indicates Forge was not installed properly during your first attempt.
5
Run Minecraft at least one time before installing Forge if the Forge profile isn’t displayed in the launcher menu. In some cases, Minecraft may not recognize Forge if you haven’t yet logged into Minecraft.

Warnings

Download and install Minecraft Forge and Pixelmon at your own risk. Forge and mods are not supported by the official developers of Minecraft, and are not guaranteed to function optimally at all times.
