How to Install Addons on a Minecraft Bedrock Server

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 or resource_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 or world_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. ✅
