Pat's Pixelpack
If you have ever tried running a Pixelmon server with friends, you know the chaos that follows. Someone accidentally destroys your base, chests overflow with random loot, and nobody knows which crafting recipe makes what. Pat's Pixelpack solves all of that. This modpack takes the Pixelmon experience and rebuilds it specifically for multiplayer, adding the organizational tools that group play demands. Whether you are running a small server with friends or a larger community, this pack gives you the infrastructure to keep everything running smoothly.
What Makes Pat's Pixelpack Different
Most Pixelmon packs focus on single-player progression. You catch Pokemon, build a base, and that is it. Pat's Pixelpack flips that approach by prioritizing the multiplayer experience from the ground up. The pack includes FTB Chunks and FTB Teams, which let you claim land and protect your builds from other players. No more logging in to find your house griefed or your Pokemon stolen. FTB Ranks rounds out the management side, giving server operators an easy way to handle commands and permissions without wrestling with complex config files.
Beyond protection and management, the pack includes quality-of-life mods that make long play sessions far more enjoyable. JEI (Just Enough Items) is included so you never get lost searching for crafting recipes. Tom's Simple Storage helps you organize the inevitable mountain of items you accumulate, saving you from digging through dozens of chests every time you need a stack of Pokeballs. Caelus API adds a dedicated slot for the Elytra, which means you can keep your chestplate equipped while flying around the map. These small additions add up to a dramatically smoother experience.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
Pat's Pixelpack is built for Minecraft 1.16.5 and runs on the Forge mod loader, which is the standard for Pixelmon and most of the mods included in this pack. Forge remains the most stable choice for Pixelmon-based modpacks, and version 1.16.5 offers excellent compatibility across the entire mod list. If you are running a server, make sure all players use the same Forge version to avoid connection issues.
Mods Included in the Pack
- Pixelmon — the core Pokemon experience with catching, battling, and breeding
- FTB Chunks — land claiming and chunk protection for your base
- FTB Teams — group management so allies can share claims and resources
- FTB Ranks — command and permission management for server operators
- JEI — recipe and item lookup so you always know what to craft

How to Install Pat's Pixelpack
Getting started with Pat's Pixelpack for Minecraft is straightforward. First, make sure you have the correct Forge version installed for Minecraft 1.16.5. Next, download the CurseForge or Modrinth launcher and search for the pack by name. Once you find it, click install and let the launcher handle the rest. If you prefer manual installation, download Pat's Pixelpack and place the mod files into your mods folder, then launch the game with the Forge profile. For server owners, upload the same mod set to your server and ensure every player matches the configuration.
If you want the simplest possible setup, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Pat's Pixelpack, pulling the correct Forge version and every dependency automatically so you can jump straight into your first Pixelmon adventure. The launcher also keeps your add-ons updated, which means you will not have to manually chase down new mod versions every time the pack receives a patch.
Tips for New Players
When you first spawn in, take a moment to set up your FTB Team and claim your land before you start building. This prevents any accidental conflicts with other players. After that, focus on building a basic storage system with Tom's Simple Storage early, because your item count will grow faster than you expect once you start catching Pokemon and mining resources. Use JEI frequently during your first few hours to learn the Pixelmon-specific recipes, especially for Pokeballs and healing items.
Final Thoughts
Pat's Pixelpack fills a gap that most Pixelmon modpacks ignore: the multiplayer experience. With land claims, team management, organized storage, and a full suite of quality-of-life mods, it gives groups everything they need to build, battle, and explore together without the usual headaches. If you are planning a Pixelmon server or just want a smoother co-op experience, this pack is worth trying. The creator is also open to feedback, so if you have ideas for improvements, the community is listening.
