This article will teach you How To Install Mod / Addon on Minecraft PE (Pocket Edition). The.MCPack,.MCAddon and.Zip,.Zar portions of this lesson are divided into two sections.
Understanding Mods and Addons:
Before diving into the installation process, let's clarify the difference between mods and addons in the Minecraft PE context. Mods generally modify the game's core files, while addons are more lightweight, focusing on altering specific aspects within the game. Knowing this distinction will help you choose the right enhancements for your preferences.
Preparing Your Minecraft PE Environment:
To start, ensure your Minecraft PE is up to date. Mods and add-ons are often designed for specific game versions, so having the latest update is crucial to compatibility. Additionally, back up your world saves and any important data to prevent potential loss during the installation process.
Choosing Mods/Addons:
The Minecraft community offers a vast array of mods and addons catering to different interests. Whether you're looking for new features, improved graphics, or unique gameplay mechanics, carefully select mods that align with your preferences. Reliable sources such as reputable modding websites or community forums are excellent places to find quality content.
Installation Steps:
- Download Mods/Addons: Start by downloading the desired mods or addons. Ensure that you're obtaining them from trustworthy sources to avoid potential security risks.
- Locate Minecraft PE Directory: Find the directory where Minecraft PE is installed on your device. This is typically in the game's settings or app data folder.
- Install Mods/Addons: Copy the downloaded mod or addon files into the designated folders within the Minecraft PE directory. Follow specific instructions provided by the mod or addon creator to ensure correct installation.
- Activate Mods/Addons: Launch Minecraft PE and navigate to the game settings. Look for an option to activate or enable mods/addons. Enable the ones you've installed, and restart the game for changes to take effect.
Congratulations! You've successfully customized your Minecraft PE experience by installing mods and addons. Experiment with different combinations to discover the perfect enhancements that suit your gaming style. Remember, the Minecraft community is rich with creativity, so feel free to explore and share your experiences with fellow players.
By following this comprehensive guide, even beginners can navigate the world of Minecraft PE modifications with confidence. Enjoy your enhanced gaming adventure!
.MCAddon and.MCPack files
This mod/addon format for Minecraft PE enables significantly quicker installation than ever before! Let's look at how to install a Minecraft PE mod in.mcpack format:
- Download the mod, which includes all of the essential files in.mcpack or.mcaddon format.
- Open the downloaded files folder.
- Open the downloaded mod (by double-clicking the.mcpack or.mcaddon file).
- It is fairly uncommon for the phone to be unable to open the mod. In this case, we propose that you install the File Manager (Google Play).
- Launch the File Manager, navigate to the downloaded mod, and activate it. Everything is straightforward!
- The installation of the mod on your phone will commence at this moment. For a short while, you will see a black screen. You will have to wait for the installation to be completed.
- Don't forget to apply the necessary behavior and texture packs in the map settings. (How should it be done?)
.ZIP or.RAR archive
The ZIP or RAR format is the second most common mod format for Minecraft Pocket Edition. These are regular archives that take a little longer to install than MCPACK or MCADDON. Let's go straight into the details:
- To begin, ensure that you have the most recent (or only suitable for modification) version of Minecraft Pocket Edition loaded.
- Download the archive with the necessary changes. The More Chairs addon installation procedure is shown in the example below.
- You will need a decent explorer to unpack the archive for the next stages. We recommend using File Manager (available on Google Play). The "Downloads" folder contains all downloaded files.
- You must unpack the downloaded archive using the explorer. Unpack the archive using the File Manager program's features.
- Open the folder that was created when the archive was extracted.
- Depending on the modifications performed by the addon, the archive may include one or two directories. If the mod does not have its own textures, you will see only one folder, but most of the time you will see two.
- The following step is to copy. Let's begin with [Textures] More Chairs by Genta. Select a folder and press the Copy button.
Complete list:
- behavior_packs - Behavior packs, i.e. modifications.
- We do not advocate touching the minecraftpe folder.
- This folder is used to install minecraftWorlds - Maps.
- Texture resource bundles. Copy and paste all of the textures you'll need into this folder.
- Copy the [Textures] More Chairs by Genta folder and place it into the resource_packs folder.
- Return to the Downloads folder and do the same with the second folder [Behavior pack] More Chairs by Genta.
- Return to the /games/com.mojang/ directory, enter the behavior_packs folder, and copy the folder.
- Start the Minecraft PE game.
- Navigate to the Game World settings. Create a new planet or make a tweak to an existing one to do this.
- Go all the way down to the settings by scrolling. Open the Textures options, then choose and activate the required textures.
- Proceed to access the Behavior Packs settings and use the same method to activate your mod.
- Completed!
