Running a ServerInstall Bedrock Add-ons

Add-ons (behavior packs) and texture packs (resource packs) change how Minecraft Bedrock plays and looks. Players download resource packs automatically when they join.

If your panel has an add-on installer

If your server page has a Bedrock add-on or content installer, use it, pick the add-on and restart. If you do not see one, use the manual method below.

Manual method

  1. Download the .mcpack or .mcaddon files from a trusted site.
  2. Open them on a Bedrock device so they import into the game.
  3. Create a new local world, turn on the packs under Resource Packs and Behavior Packs, then save and exit.
  4. Find the world folder on your device (in the com.mojang folder, under minecraftWorlds; newest date is yours).
  5. Stop the server in the panel.
  6. Upload these files from that world folder into your server’s world folder (see File Manager or SFTP):
    • world_behavior_packs.json
    • world_resource_packs.json
    • world_behavior_pack_history.json
    • world_resource_pack_history.json
  7. Upload the pack folders from behavior_packs and resource_packs into folders with the same names in the main server directory, not inside the world.
  8. Start the server and join to check that the packs load.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure the server was fully stopped before uploading.
  • Check the JSON files are in the active world folder.
  • Make sure the pack versions match your server version.
