Broadcast Pixelmon
Broadcast Pixelmon is a NeoForge sidemod that announces special Pokémon spawns in global chat on a Pixelmon server.
What it does
When a Legendary, Shiny, Boss or Ultra Beast Pokémon spawns, the server sends a global chat message describing it. Each announcement can include the spawn's coordinates and biome, and the message can be clicked to create a JourneyMap waypoint at that location. Raid starts are announced as well, with boss messages showing the tier and tier color.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and only the server needs it. JourneyMap is optional and is used only for the clickable waypoint creation. The mod is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1, and Pixelmon 9.3.14 is the dependency it is built around.
Broadcast Pixelmon is not open source. The code is released under the All rights reserved license, and its latest NeoForge file, 1.1.1 for 1.21.1, was published on 2026-08-17. The first file appeared on 2026-05-17.
