# How to Install Pixelmon on Your Minecraft Server

Install Pixelmon on your Minecraft server! Find steps to add the Pixelmon mod so your players don't miss out on this must-have Minecraft mod.

Ready to bring Pokémon into your Minecraft world? Installing Pixelmon on your server lets you explore, battle, and trade with friends in a custom multiplayer environment. This guide will walk you through the full setup process to get your server up and running with Pixelmon installed and ready to play.

**Note: Be sure that your Minecraft server is fully stopped before making any configuration changes or setting updates!**

## Using the One-Click Installer

1. Navigate to your Nodecraft Dashboard.
2. Click the **Panel **button for your Minecraft server.
3. Locate and click **Installer**, under Server Files, in the menu on the left side.
4. Enter **Pixelmon** in the Search box. The results will update automatically as you type. This is the modpack you’re looking for:

5. In the **Selected to be Installed** box, choose the desired version of Pixelmon you want to install.
6. For the Install Method, choose between **Archive** and **Fresh Install**, then click **Install** at the bottom.
7. Once the installation is complete, **start **your server.

Once the server is online, you’re ready to join! Since it’s a little different from regular Minecraft, we have a guide for joining a Pixelmon server. You can find this [here](/support/games/minecraft/mods/pixelmon/how-to-join-a-pixelmon-server)!
