How To Make Pokeballs In Pixelmon
So, You Want to Catch 'Em All? (In Pixelmon, Of Course)
Okay, let's be real. You're playing Pixelmon. You want to be the very best. Like no one ever was. And that starts with... Poké Balls! It's always the same question, isn't it?
Crafting these bad boys can feel like a chore, though. Am I right? It is all a part of the journey, but still. Let's dive in!
Getting Those Apricorns!
First things first, we're hunting Apricorns. Think of them like nature's bouncy balls. Find these on trees. They come in all sorts of colours!
Must Read
You'll need to get your chopping on. Get that axe ready. You can’t make a Poké Ball without the Apricorns.
Different coloured Apricorns mean different types of Poké Balls. Red is for regular. Black is for Ultra. You get the idea.
Turning Apricorns into Discs
Got your Apricorns? Great! Now find a furnace. It’s time to get cookin'. Or... smelting, I guess.
Chuck your Apricorns into the furnace. Wait for them to transform. Magic!
Out pops a coloured disc. It looks kind of like a cookie. But don't eat it! (Trust me).
Crafting the Base
Now we need an Iron Base. This is the bottom part. It holds the whole thing together.
Smelt some iron ore. You know, the usual Minecraft stuff. Turn it into ingots, then craft the base.
This bit is fairly straightforward. Just follow the recipe in the crafting table.
The Button Situation
Every Poké Ball needs a button. It's how you trigger the catching action. And for this, we need stone.
Grab some cobblestone from pretty much anywhere. Cook it. And create a stone button!
A simple task. But essential to the catch! Don't forget the button!
Putting It All Together: The Assembly
This is where the magic happens. Place your Apricorn Disc, Iron Base, and Stone Button. All together in the crafting table.
Arrange them in the correct order. Follow the recipe carefully.
Boom! You've got yourself a Poké Ball! Now go catch something awesome.
Advanced Poké Ball Crafting
Want something fancier? Like a Great Ball or an Ultra Ball? It's a similar process.
Use different Apricorn colours. Gather rarer materials.
Experiment with different recipes. The possibilities are endless!
An Unpopular Opinion: The Grind is Real
Okay, confession time. I think crafting Poké Balls is a bit of a grind. Especially early on.
Running around chopping trees. Smelting ores. It can be tedious. There, I said it!
But hey, that's part of the fun, right? Right?
Alternative Solutions (Because We All Get Lazy)
Look, sometimes you just can't be bothered. I get it. So here are a few alternative solutions.
Buying from Poké Marts. A classic option. A quick and easy way to stock up.
Finding them in the wild. Keep an eye out. Sometimes you get lucky.
Trading with other players. Got something they want? Trade for some Poké Balls!
Final Thoughts: Gotta Craft 'Em All! (Eventually)
Crafting Poké Balls in Pixelmon is a core part of the game. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
Even if it's a bit grindy at times. The satisfaction of catching that rare Pokémon is worth it.
So, get out there! Start crafting! And become the ultimate Pixelmon master!
