Fossil Research Fix 9.4.0

This datapack fixes a crash related to the Fossil Revival onboarding quest in Pixelmon 9.4.0 on Minecraft 1.21.1.

• Prevents the server/client from crashing when the Fossil Revival quest is loaded.

• Keeps the Fossil Machine fully functional so you can still revive fossils and extract the resulting Pokémon.

• Disables the problematic quest logic while preserving the core fossil-revival mechanics.

Use this if you’re running Pixelmon 9.4.0 and experiencing crashes tied to the Fossil Revival quest / onboarding research.

Installation

1. Download the datapack ZIP.

2. Place it in your world’s datapacks folder:

   • Singleplayer: .minecraft/saves/<your-world>/datapacks/

   • Server: <server-folder>/world/datapacks/

3. Reload datapacks:

   • In-game: /reload

   • Or restart the server/world.

4. Verify it’s loaded with /datapack list.

No additional mods or libraries are required.

Compatibility

• Designed specifically for Pixelmon 9.4.0 on Minecraft 1.21.1.

• May work on later 9.4.x builds, but is not tested.

• Does not modify Pixelmon’s JAR; this is a pure datapack fix.

Notes

• This fix focuses only on preventing the crash and keeping the Fossil Machine usable.

• The Fossil Revival onboarding quest will effectively be disabled / non-intrusive.

• If future Pixelmon updates fix this issue upstream, this datapack may no longer be necessary.

Credits

• Built in response to the Fossil Revival crash present in Pixelmon 9.4.0.

• Uses Pixelmon’s built-in quest system; no external code.
