Minecraft: How can I install add-ons in an existing Minecraft Bedrock world?

Stop your server first.

Download the behavior pack of your choice (it should be in .mcpack or .mcaddon format).

Unpack the downloaded package using a tool such as WinRAR or 7Zip.

Open the unpacked files.

  • You will now find a Behavior Pack folder AND/OR a Resource Pack folder.

Use an FTP tool like **FileZilla ** to upload the Behavior Pack folder to /behavior_packs and the Resource Pack folder to /resources_packs on your server (right side).

Once the upload is complete, restart your server.

Create two new files with the following names:

  • world_resource_packs.json
  • world_behavior_packs.json

Now go to the Resource Pack folder and edit the manifest.json file.

Copy the UUID and version number from manifest.json and paste them into the world_resource_packs.json file (make sure to maintain the formatting).

Repeat the same steps for the world_behavior_packs.json file and its corresponding Behavior Pack folder.

Upload both .json files to the World subfolder on your server (the same folder where you find the level.dat file).

Restart your server once again.
