Addons are the main way to customize Minecraft Bedrock servers. They include behavior packs (which change game logic) and resource packs (which modify textures, sounds, etc.). This guide shows how to install them on your Bedrock server. ✔️
⛏️ Step 1: Find Compatible Addons
Addons usually come in .mcpack
or .zip
format. You can find them on sites like:
- ➡️ MCPE DL
- ➡️ CurseForge Bedrock section
- ➡️ Other trusted Minecraft addon communities
✔️ Make sure the addon is designed for Bedrock Edition, not Java.
⚔️ Step 2: Upload the Addon Files
Once downloaded, upload the files to your server:
- ➡️ Log into your game panel
- ➡️ Open the File Manager
- ➡️ Navigate to the
behavior_packs
orresource_packs
folder - ➡️ Upload the
.mcpack
or extracted folder contents here
✔️ You may need to extract .zip
files before uploading.
➕ Step 3: Enable the Addon in world_behavior_packs.json
or world_resource_packs.json
To activate the addon, you’ll need to register it in the world’s pack configuration file:
- ➡️ Open the
worlds
folder, then the folder for your active world - ➡️ Edit
world_behavior_packs.json
orworld_resource_packs.json
- ✔️ Insert the addon’s UUID and version (usually listed in the addon’s
manifest.json
)
❗ This step is necessary for the server to load the addon correctly.
⏰ Step 4: Restart the Server
After uploading and configuring the addon, restart your server from the panel to apply changes. ✅
✅ Backup Before Major Changes
We recommend backing up your world before adding or modifying addons, in case of compatibility issues or crashes.
