How to install a Mod/Addon in Minecraft PE?
Download DownloadMLet’s explore the primary methods for installing Minecraft PE (Bedrock) modifications.
Recent Minecraft updates have introduced several exciting new features, but these may not fully satisfy all players’ preferences. That’s where third-party modifications come in, offering ways to significantly alter gameplay on servers. These mods can range from adding new weapons and creatures to introducing bosses and unique mechanics. While some mods only adjust the appearance of items or mobs, others add entirely new gameplay elements. In this guide, you’ll learn how to easily install mods and addons for Minecraft PE without unnecessary complications.
- MCPack and MCAddon Formats
These formats make mod installation quick and simple. Just follow these steps:
Download the mod or addon in .mcpack or .mcaddon format.
Go to the folder where the file was downloaded and click on the mod to run it.
If the mod doesn’t open, use a file manager such as File Manager or Total Commander to run the file.
The mod will install automatically after it opens. It’s normal for the screen to briefly turn black during the process, so don’t be concerned.
Done! All that’s left is to apply the mod within your world settings.
- ZIP and RAR Formats
This method takes a bit more effort, as it involves installing mods through archives, but it remains popular with many players.
Ensure that your Minecraft PE version is compatible with the mod.
Download the mod archive.
Use a file manager (such as File Manager or Total Commander) to find the archive in your Downloads folder.
Extract the archive using the file manager.
Depending on the mod, the extracted folder may contain one or two directories.
Copy the extracted folder.
Navigate to the game directory at /games/com.mojang/ and open the appropriate folder based on the type of mod:
behavior_packs for mods,
resource_packs for textures,
minecraftWorlds for maps.
Paste the copied folder into the relevant directory.
If the archive has two folders, repeat this process for the second folder.
Open Minecraft PE and go to the world settings. You can either create a new world or modify an existing one.
If you installed textures, activate them in the texture packs settings.
To activate mods, go to behavior settings and apply them.
After following these steps, you can start your world and enjoy the new mods!
