Config

From Pixelmon Wiki
This page contains changes which are not marked for translation.

Other languages:
English

The Pixelmon config folder, config/pixelmon, is a folder containing numerous .yml file(s) for the various configurable settings Pixelmon supports. It is located in the Minecraft installation's files, which can have different locations depending on the launcher that was used to install the game. This guide to finding your config files covers most of those.

These .yml file(s) can be edited outside of Minecraft with a plain text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit. If edited with a plain text editor, changes will only be reflected when the target world is not online; changing the config file while the world is online will cause no changes to occur to the world until the world is reloaded. On a multiplayer server, editing the config file(s) on the client will only affect client-side settings; server-side settings can only be changed by editing the server .yml files inside the server folder.

The config file(s) and/or folder can be reset to default settings by deleting the file. The file will be regenerated the next time Minecraft is launched. It is recommended to do this when Updating Pixelmon, to ensure any changes made are applied to your file(s).

Settings

force-end-battle-result This setting determines what will occur if a battle is ended without a proper conclusion (e.g., too many errors in battle, player death while in battle). Determining an official winner and loser only matters for certain aspects, such as the /pokestats command, NPC Trainers that give items upon defeat, or Pixelmon sidemods that manipulate battle wins and losses. The Different Modes are as Follows:


WINNER - A winner will be decided based on which battler has more Pokémon remaining. If both battlers have the same amount of Pokémon remaining, the percentages of HP of each Pokémon remaining are summed and the winner is decided based on whose percentage HP sum is greater. If both sums are the same, the battle is considered a draw.
DRAW - The battle is declared a draw.
ABNORMAL - The battle is considered to have ended abnormally. This setting is only useful if the server has a Pixelmon sidemod that uses PlayerBattleEndedAbnormalEvent.
