Then, in Step 19, the help file instructs you to simply add your files into the mod folder. However, you still need to do this, as the first time forge runs, it modifies the client (minecraft) and adds a bunch of folders, including the all-important mods folder everyone is talking about. You need to make sure it says custom18.jar here as well.įinally, create a world for your server and start it up (Step 18) It will not be a pixelmon server/world.

In step 17 it will tell you to change your jar name on MCPro to custom.jar. I don't really understand it, but my server didn't work till I made this change.

In step 10, it will tell you to rename a jar file, either way instead of renaming the file to custom.jar, you must rename it to custom18.jar The reason is that the newer version of pixelmon/forge requires Java 8 to run, and minecraft (for some reason) doesn't default to java 8 unless your jar file says to (by adding the 18). I know you don't want to, but for pixelmon to work you need to. Next, you have to install forge on your server. You can find the download file here:įirst, up is connecting FileZilla to your server. Put the file somewhere you can get to easily. You can't use their client for this part, sorry. However, before you get started, you have to actually download the pixelmon file. Instead, I'll give you the guide links you need and explain discrepancies or tricks as we go.

I would walk you through this, but honestly, the post would be pages of text and take me an hour or two to write (since I'm an amateur myself. Took me about 12 hours to get everything set up, and lots of research with various help files and videos on MCProhosting, Filezilla, etc. I had this exact problem about three months ago.
