Pixelmon is a popular mod for Minecraft that allows players to experience the world of Pokémon within the virtual realm. One of the key elements in Pokémon is capturing and storing them in Pokeballs. In this step-by-step guide, we will explore how to craft a Pokeball in Pixelmon, enhancing your Pokémon-catching abilities.
Step 1: Gathering Resources
To craft a Pokeball, you’ll need a few resources. Gather the following items before continuing with the crafting process:
– 3 Red Apricorns: These can be found by breaking Apricorn trees scattered throughout the Pixelmon world.
– 4 Iron Ingots: Iron Ingots can be crafted by smelting Iron Ore in a furnace, or they can be obtained from looting dungeons and mineshafts.
– 1 Button: Buttons can be crafted using one Wooden Plank in a crafting table.
Step 2: Crafting the Lid
Once you have gathered the required resources, open your crafting table by right-clicking on it. In the 3×3 grid, place 4 Iron Ingots in the corners and center spots. Leave the remaining slots empty. This arrangement will create the top part of the Pokeball, known as the lid.
Step 3: Crafting the Base
Next, for the base of the Pokeball, place the 3 Red Apricorns vertically in a straight line on the left side of your crafting table. Then, position the Button below them. This arrangement will create the bottom part of the Pokeball, called the base.
Step 4: Combining the Lid and Base
Now that you have crafted both components, you can combine them to complete the creation of your Pokeball. Click and drag the lid onto the base in your crafting table. Once the two parts are assembled, a Pokeball icon should appear in the result slot.
Step 5: Retrieving Your Newly Crafted Pokeball
To retrieve your freshly crafted Pokeball, simply click on it and move it to your inventory. Congratulations! You have successfully crafted a Pokeball in Pixelmon.
Step 6: Capturing Pokémon
Armed with your new Pokeball, you are now ready to capture Pokémon. Locate a Pokémon you wish to catch and engage in battle by right-clicking on it. Reduce its health points (HP) by attacking it with your Pokémon’s moves until it is weak enough to capture.
Step 7: Capturing Pokémon with your Pokeball
Once the opposing Pokémon’s HP is low enough, select the Pokeball from your inventory and right-click on the weakened Pokémon to begin the capture attempt. The Pokeball will start shaking, indicating the capture process.
Step 8: Success or Failure
During the capture attempt, the Pokeball will shake multiple times, symbolizing the Pokémon’s resistance. If the Pokeball stops shaking and emits a click sound, congratulations! You have successfully captured the Pokémon. If the Pokémon breaks free of the Pokeball and the capture fails, you can retry the process with another Pokémon or weaken it further.
By following these step-by-step instructions, you now have the knowledge to craft a Pokeball in Pixelmon and start building your Pokémon collection. Enjoy the adventures that await you in the colorful and exciting world of Pokémon!
