This article will guide you through the process of adding addons to your Minecraft: Bedrock Edition server. ## What are Addons? Addons for Minecraft: Bedrock edition go by a few different names, formats, and what they can accomplish for your server. They are often referred as Mods, Behavior Packs, Texture Packs and Resource Packs. When they're a Mod or Behavior Pack, they modify the rules or mechanics of the game. As a Texture Pack or Resource Pack, they change the appearance of various things in your game. Some authors of Behavior Packs also include files for new textures as well, causing you to have both in the pack. These can also come in formats of `.mcpack`, `.mcaddon`, or `.mcworld`. The `.mcworld` formatted addons come with a premade world included with "mods". It's a system that is very broad, so thankfully the Minecraft Help Center has an FAQ if you have any questions at all that aren't touched upon in this article. That can be found here: [https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4409140076813-Minecraft-Add-Ons-for-Bedrock-Versions-FAQ](https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4409140076813-Minecraft-Add-Ons-for-Bedrock-Versions-FAQ) ## How to Install Addons to Your Server In this guide, we will be using an addon that has both behavior and resource files included from **CurseForge.** For more addons from CurseForge: [Minecraft Bedrock Mods - CurseForge](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft-bedrock) ### Download the Addon File to Your PC There are a few various sites you can go to download addons. They should be in `.mcpack`, `.mcaddon`, or `.mcworld` format, but some authors will provide the files in Zip or WinRar format which can work just as well. ### Create a Minecraft Bedrock World You would need to create a **Minecraft Bedrock** World in single-player first and activate the** Addons** you have installed via the client. You can check the **Resource Packs** and the **Behavior Packs **tabs to see what packs you have downloaded. ![How to check behavior packs](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1916x928/d52529d74a/bedrock_rh_packpage.png/m/1000x0/smart)Locate the **Behavior Packs** tab, then select the **Available** tab to see which packs you have available. **Select** the **Behavior Pack** you wish to activate. For this guide we're selecting **Poggy's Better on Bedrock. ** ![Active Behavior Packs](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1914x1003/22aae5e543/create_bedrock.png/m/1000x0/smart)![Behavior pack in Bedrock](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1185x125/716b5f679a/bedrock_bh_pack.png/m/1000x0/smart) ### Locate the Minecraft Worlds Folder You can locate the Minecraft Bedrock world you just created by following this directory: `C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang` The easiest way to achieve this would be to copy the directory into `/run` function. Select your **Win** key, input `/run` and press **Enter**. ![Looking for the Minecraft Bedrock Worlds folder](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/393x198/4f7d142e82/run_function.png/m/)Then you would copy and paste this directory into open bar. You would need to make sure that you rename the `` in the directory to main your PC name before selecting **OK.** ![Minecraft Bedrock Worlds folder](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/934x533/8df0aa5c63/bedrock_worlds_folder.png/m/)In the `com.mojang` folder, select the `minecraftWorlds` folder. You would then select the following files to create in a .zip file to upload to your server. These files are: `behavior_packs`, `resource_packs` folders along with the `world_behavior_packs.json`, `world_behavior_pack_history.json`, `world_resource_pack_history.json`, and `world_resource_packs.json` files. ![Files needed to upload addons on the server](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/936x440/c0c53182d0/bh_rs_packs.png/m/) ### Create a `.zip` to Upload to Your Server Once you have selected those files right click to create a `.zip` to upload to your server. You will be uploading these files to `/worlds/` folder. For this guide, we're using the default which is `/worlds/Bedrock level`. Make sure that you do start your server once to create the `/worlds/Bedrock level` folder. ![Where to upload the .zip of addons](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1843x740/32369aab93/upload_bedrock.png/m/1000x0/smart)If you have trouble with uploading your `.zip` file to the server please check out our guide on [FTP (File Transfer Protocol)](https://nodecraft.com/support/knowledgebase/nodepanel/basic-ftp-tutorial). FTP is another method of accessing and uploading files to your server. This method helps with preventing file corruption and failing uploads. ### Unzip the File to Your Server Once the file is uploaded to the server you would need to extract the file. Unzip the .zip into the respective **World** folder. For this guide our **World** is **Bedrock level** and select **Extract**. ![Unzipping addons for Bedrock](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1862x881/4631856df7/unzip_bedrock.png/m/1000x0/smart) ### Start your server Now you can Start your server up and it will have the extra content included on your server! ![In-game screenshot of an Addon pack for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition](https://s3-assets.nodecraft.com/attachments/I3EM4KKYS5eADpmWdGgR_image%20(1).png)
