After the modpack is installed, you can simply press play or go into its settings to change the RAM usage of the modpack as well. This tweak will ensure smoother gameplay since these heavy packs can take a lot of power to run. Simply go into the profile options and change the memory settings. It is recommended not to use more than 4GB of RAM.

It will open a special secondary official game launcher through which you can play Pixelmon. This is because the CurseForge app creates a completely new game version copy that can be modded. This keeps the original game directory separate and safe.

Ensure that the modpack's game version is selected and hit play once again on the official launcher.
