Setting Up the Launcher

Download and install ATLauncher. You can find this here: https://atlauncher.com/downloads
Once installed, open ATLauncher, then click Accounts on the right side.
Click the Sign in with Microsoft button and follow the steps to log into the Microsoft account where you own Minecraft: Java Edition.
Once you’ve logged in, your Minecraft account should show in the Add An Account dropdown in the launcher.
With your account selected, click Packs on the right side.
At the top, enter Pixelmon in the Search box, then hit Enter to search through the different modpacks. This is the modpack you’re looking for:
Click Install and the launcher will ask for a name for the installation of the modpack (this can be anything you like and doesn’t have to match the server name), as well as the version you’d like to install. The version will need to be the same that is running on the server you’re looking to join.
Click Install and the launcher will begin downloading necessary files and installing the modpack.
Once complete, your new installation can be found in the Instances tab on the right side.
Click Instances, then click Play next to Pixelmon and the launcher will open up Minecraft with Pixelmon installed, as well as a few extra visual mods.
