Pixel Blocks

by mattias15

Pixel Blocks is a Forge minigame that turns mining into a random Pokémon encounter: each block a player breaks may release a Pokémon from the Pixelmon series.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.16.5

What it does

Breaking a Pixel Block can produce a random Pokémon, ranging from common species to legendaries and mythicals, so every mined block is a small chance of an encounter. The mod is aimed at players who want a lucky-block style twist on Pokémon play. It requires Pixelmon to function and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.16.5, with 1.16.5-2 as the latest file from 2024-10-19. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Random Pokémon from blocks

    Breaking a Pixel Block can spawn a Pokémon chosen at random, from common species up to legendaries and mythicals.

  2. Lucky block twist

    The mining loop works like a lucky block, so each break adds an element of surprise to Pokémon play.

  3. Adventure through mining

    Exploring and mining become a way to find Pokémon, rather than a separate battle or catch activity.
