CatchInfo
Catching a Pokémon is the highlight of any Pixelmon session, but the moment is often ruined by a scavenger hunt through your PC or a wall of clunky commands. CatchInfo exists to fix exactly that. It is a polished, client-side mod that delivers instant, clean summaries of every Pokémon you catch, so the information you care about appears the second the battle ends.
What CatchInfo Actually Does
CatchInfo for Minecraft is built around a simple promise: no clutter, no hassle, just the data you need at the moment you need it. The mod watches your party and generates a readable summary for each newly caught Pokémon, covering IVs, Ability, Nature, Gender, Size, Shiny status, Palette, and Typing. Instead of memorizing stat spreads or opening menus mid-session, you get everything in one glance.
The mod is client-side only, which means no server installation is required. It was designed for Pixelmon 9.1.13 on Minecraft 1.16.5 with Forge 36.x, and a modern build supports Minecraft 1.21.1 as well. Note that the 1.16.5 version no longer receives updates because it simply does not need them, while the 1.21.1 branch continues to evolve.
Instant Post-Catch Summary
The core feature is the automatic summary that appears for newly caught Pokémon in your party. IVs, Ability, Nature, Gender, Size, Shiny status, Palette, and Typing are all displayed without any input from you. If a Pokémon is auto-trashed, the summary is skipped, so you never waste screen space on catches you did not want.
CatchInfo Popup
After a battle ends, a sleek in-game popup presents the details of your catch. It is unobtrusive by design, but it guarantees you never miss an important Pokémon. The popup can be toggled with a keybind whenever you want a quieter session.
SessionDex
SessionDex tracks every catch and its IVs in one place, so you can review your session without digging through the PC. It highlights standout Pokémon and gives a clear overview of everything you have caught. A recent fix ensures SessionDex only resets when you click the Reset Session button, so changing worlds within the same server no longer wipes your progress. Clicking any entry instantly pulls up its full info, and proper Pokéball fallback icons now appear when sprites are missing.
Custom /ivs Output
The reworked /ivs command produces a polished, color-coded message that is far easier to read than the default output. Each stat is clearly labeled, and a total percentage gives you a quick way to evaluate a Pokémon at a glance.
Auto-Trash System
Auto-Trash automatically removes Pokémon that fail to meet your standards. You configure an IV percentage threshold plus an optional minimum single-IV requirement. Shinies and Legendaries are always protected, and a red chat message confirms every auto-trash so nothing disappears silently.
In-Game Config and Keybinds
Every feature can be toggled from an in-game config screen with clear tooltips, and a Reset to Defaults button removes any need to edit files by hand. Keybinds let you toggle the popup, auto-trash, or confirmation prompts instantly, and open the config screen with a single key. Preferences are saved to disk and restored automatically on restart.
Send-to-PC Integration
Introduced in version 3.6.0, Send-to-PC lets you move Pokémon directly to your PC from the CatchInfoScreen. You can choose a default PC box for caught Pokémon, and that selection persists across sessions. Clear status labels and tooltips always tell you where a Pokémon will end up.
How to Install CatchInfo
If you are wondering how to install the mod, the process is straightforward. Confirm that you are running a supported Minecraft version with the correct Forge release, then place the mod file in your mods folder and launch the game. Because CatchInfo is client-side, you can use it on servers without asking admins for anything. Players who prefer a smoother setup often turn to the foxygame.net launcher, whose add-on catalog lets you install CatchInfo in a couple of clicks and keeps it updated automatically. If you want to download CatchInfo, always grab it from the official project page and match the build to your Minecraft version.
Limitations to Keep in Mind
- CatchInfo only monitors Pokémon in your party slots.
- It does not scan or interact with Pokémon stored in the PC.
- This design keeps performance smooth and avoids confusion about unsupported features.
The mod was created by Eagle__Dev with thanks to the Pixelmon community for inspiration and feedback, and it was made specifically for the Pixelmon Prime server, so behavior elsewhere is not guaranteed. If you plan to play on that server, the Pixelmon Prime Modpack is the intended companion.
Final Thoughts
CatchInfo removes the friction between catching a Pokémon and understanding it. Instant summaries, a session tracker, configurable auto-trash, and thoughtful quality-of-life touches make it feel like a natural part of Pixelmon rather than an add-on bolted on top. Go catch them, and let CatchInfo handle the rest.
