PixelWiki [No Longer Required Pixelmon 9.0.9+]
If you have been playing Pixelmon on 1.16.5 and missing the handy /wiki command, the PixelWiki [No Longer Required Pixelmon 9.0.9+] sidemod is exactly what you need. This lightweight add-on brings back the beloved lookup command that Pixelmon Extras used to provide, letting you check spawn data, moves, evolutions, and more without leaving the game. Whether you are a server owner running an older pack or a solo player who prefers a stable version, this mod fills a gap that many trainers noticed right away.
Why PixelWiki Exists
When Pixelmon 9.0.0 launched for Minecraft 1.16.5, it marked the first release of the mod for that version. Pixelmon Extras was in the process of being merged into the main mod, but the /wiki command had not yet made the jump. That left players without a fast way to look up creature information. PixelWiki was created as a direct port of that command, giving the community a working solution while the official implementation was still pending.
With Pixelmon 9.0.9, the /wiki command finally returned to the base mod, which means PixelWiki [No Longer Required Pixelmon 9.0.9+] will no longer receive updates. That said, it remains a valuable tool for anyone staying on earlier builds. The mod mostly works for versions 9.0.0 through 9.0.8, with the notable exception of the breeding changes introduced in 9.0.7. If you are on 9.0.1 or similar, you are in good shape.
Supported Versions and Loaders
PixelWiki is built for Minecraft 1.16.5 and runs alongside Pixelmon 9.0.x. It is a Forge-based sidemod, so you will need a compatible Forge installation to use it. The developer tested it primarily on Pixelmon 9.0.1 and notes that 9.0.0 is untested, though most players should be on 9.0.1 or higher anyway. Because it hooks into the Pixelmon API, it should also work with any datapacks made for Pixelmon, which is a big plus for custom server setups.
Server and Client Behavior
One of the most practical aspects of this mod is how it handles multiplayer. From testing, it appears the mod is required on the server, but clients can use the command even if they do not have the mod installed locally, as long as the server has it. This makes deployment much easier for server admins who want to offer the feature without forcing every player to download extra files.
Commands You Can Use
The full list of subcommands covers nearly everything a trainer might need to look up:
- moves, levelupmoves, eggmoves, tmtrhmmoves, tutormoves
- genderratio, evyield (evdrop), evolution (evo)
- abilities, hiddenability (ha), spawn, basestats (stats)
- egggroup, catchrate (catch), rarity, biome, time, weather
- grass, caverock, headbutt, rocksmash, sweetscent, fishing
- moonphase, yheight (ylevel and y), lightlevel (light)
- preevolution (preevo), nationalpokedex (nationaldex, pokedex, dex)
You can use the command with or without a form name. For example, typing /wiki Zoroark biome gives you standard spawn info, while /wiki Zoroark form:hisuian biome narrows it down to the Hisuian form. This flexibility is great for players hunting specific variants.
How to Install
Getting started is straightforward. First, make sure you have Minecraft 1.16.5 with a matching Forge version and Pixelmon 9.0.x installed. Next, download PixelWiki [No Longer Required Pixelmon 9.0.9+] from a trusted source and drop the jar file into your mods folder. If you run a server, place it in the server mods directory as well. Launch the game, and the /wiki command should be available immediately.
For players who want a smoother experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install option that handles PixelWiki [No Longer Required Pixelmon 9.0.9+] and its dependencies automatically, so you can skip the manual file juggling entirely. The launcher also keeps an organized catalog of add-ons, making it easy to find compatible builds for your exact Pixelmon version.
Final Thoughts
PixelWiki [No Longer Required Pixelmon 9.0.9+] may no longer be updated, but for anyone running Pixelmon 9.0.0 through 9.0.8 on Minecraft 1.16.5, it remains an essential utility. It restores a command that made researching creatures effortless, supports datapacks, and works cleanly on servers. If you are on an older Pixelmon build and miss the convenience of /wiki, this sidemod is well worth adding to your setup.
