Changelog

"1.21.1 (9.4.0)"

• The Java requirement for 1.21.1 is Java 21. This will come shipped with most launchers. For manual installation, you may need to install a later JDK.

• Beta releases will move to the recommended downloads after a few days of public release.

Additions

• Added a notification to the top-right of the main menu that appears when a new Pixelmon version is available.
• Reworked the bikes so they are no longer horse-based, with their riding animation now playing correctly:
  • All bikes are significantly slower than before.
  • The Mach Bike is faster than the Acro Bike, can no longer jump, and steps up at most half a block.
  • The Acro Bike jumps a consistent height regardless of the charge bar, and steps up at most a block and a half.
• Updated the in-game type icons.
• Reworked Gallade's model with updated textures and animations.
• Reworked Gardevoir's model with updated textures and animations.

Terastallization

• Added the Tera Orb, required to Terastallize and unlocked through research.
• Added the Stellar Tera Type.
• Added Tera Shards, used to change a Pokémon's Tera Type.

• Added a Tera Raid lobby with party selection, solo and group controls, a countdown timer, and higher-star visual variants.

• Added Tera Raid loot, including random mints and Tera Shards tiered from 3 to 7 star.

Research

• Added an onboarding research system of 23 tutorial and progression quests: Your First Catch, The Pokémon Center, Storage Solutions, Berry Farming, The Apricorn Smith, Breeding Basics, Evolution Stones, Held Items, Move Mastery, The Art of Training, Fossil Revival, Snapshot Apprentice, Shiny Hunter, Boss Hunter, Raid Dens, Dynamax Power, Ancient Shrines, The Hidden Grotto, Temple Secrets, Tower Challenge, The Galar Pokédex, Legendary Tracker, and Champion's Path.
• Added three research paths to unlock the Tera Orb, of which each player can complete only one:
  • The Scarlet Annotations, begun by photographing a Psychic- or Fairy-type Pokémon.
  • Path of the Crowned, begun by defeating an Epic, Legendary, or Ultimate boss Pokémon.
  • To the Sleeping Crystal, begun by finding an Ancient City.
• Added The Masked Wanderer research to unlock Ogerpon spawns, begun by finding a Jungle Temple, Ocean Ruin, Desert Pyramid, or Ancient City once the Legendary Tracker research is complete.
• Added research quests to encounter the Galarian legendary birds, each begun after finishing the Galar Pokédex research and catching the matching base bird:
  • The Cruel Serenity, for Galarian Articuno.

Battle

Datapack

• Charms are now datapackable under data/pixelmon/pixelmon/charm, each with a configurable name, description, icon, and colour. The five default charms (Shiny, Catch, Mark, Oval, and Exp) ship as datapack files, and a new pixelmon:unlock_charm interaction result unlocks a given charm.

• Added a pixelmon:has_completed_research interaction condition that datapacks can use to check whether a player has finished a given research.

• Attack animations can now be authored as datapack components, including:
  • Modelled effects backed by GLTF/Assimp models with named animation clips, spawned as animation entities.
  • Configurable lifetimes (pixelmon:duration, pixelmon:any_of, pixelmon:effect_removed).

  • Contextual targets (USER, TARGET) with offsets, easing (linear, ease-in, ease-out), delays, and a short movement impulse for the attacker.
• The Kingfisher AI's behaviour is configurable through datapacks (lookahead search, opponent knowledge, and randomness), and it can be set as an NPC's battle AI.
• Battle scenes can be defined in datapacks under data/<namespace>/pixelmon/battle/scene/, pointing at a structure and using marker blocks to position the player, camera, Pokémon, and trainers, with configurable rotation, lighting, time, and weather.
