TLDR: we are building a fresh Pixelmon server on Forge 1.16.5 with Pixelmon 9.1.13, made by and for the PocketPixels community. It is live and playable now, and right now it is still pretty close to vanilla Pixelmon while we work it toward a Red-style clone with the plugins and features people know.
The goal is to bring back that familiar setup over time, with the same kind of gameplay loop, useful commands, and quality of life stuff added bit by bit. Community help is really welcome too, so if you have feature ideas, plugin suggestions, gameplay tweaks, or bug reports, drop them in and help shape what this becomes.
We already have the world using the same seed as the Red server, plus commands like fly, sethome, pokeheal, pokesell, endbattle, pc, tpa, ivs, and evs. Spawn has also been adjusted a bit, with higher Legendary, Shiny, and Hidden Ability spawn chances, and wild spawns no longer autoattack. Basically, it is a fresh start with familiar vibes, and we are building it together.
