How to Add Mods & Add-Ons in Minecraft PE – Easy Beginner Guide

 The appearance and behavior of objects in your Minecraft environment may be altered with add-ons. Whether you make them yourself or acquire them from another maker, the next step is to place them in a scenario where they may work their magic. This article will demonstrate How to Install a mod/add-on on Minecraft PE (Pocket Edition). Both .MCPack and .MCAddon and .Zip and .Zar files make up this lesson.

How to Install Mods & Add-Ons in Minecraft PE [Guide for Beginners]

MCPack and . Installing with MCAddon Files 

You can install modifications and extensions for Minecraft PE much more quickly than ever with this format! Let's look at how to set up an .mcpack mod for Minecraft PE:

• Download the mod, which includes all of the essential files in .mcpack or .mcaddon format.
• The downloaded files folder should be opened.
• Attempt to launch the downloaded mod (just click on the .mcpack or .mcaddon file)

1. The phone frequently fails to open the mod. In this case, we recommend that you download the File Manager (Google Play)
2. 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.
• Remember to apply the necessary behavior and texture packs in the map settings. (How should this be done?)

.ZIP, .RAR Installing with Addons

1. 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:
2. To begin, ensure that you have the most recent (or only suitable for modification) version of Minecraft Pocket Edition loaded.
3. Get the modified version of the archive by downloading it. The More Chairs add-on installation procedure is shown in the example below.
4. You will need a decent explorer to unpack the archive for the next stages. We recommend that you use File Manager (Google Play). The "Downloads" folder contains all downloaded files.
5. You must unpack the downloaded archive using explorer. Unpack the archive using the File Manager program's features.
6. After extracting the package, open the folder that was produced.
7. Depending on the modifications performed by the add-on, 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.
8. The following step is to copy. Let's begin with [Textures] More Chairs by Genta. Select a folder and press the Copy button.
9. Navigate to the /games/com.mojang/ subdirectory. You'll need the File Manager again for this. Open internal storage, games, and then com.mojang. Here are several Minecraft PE-related files. What are all of these folders for? 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. Paste in all of the textures you'll need.

1. Paste the copied folder into the resource packs folder ([Textures] More Chairs by Genta).
2. Return to the Downloads folder and do the same with the second folder [Behavior pack]. More Chairs by Genta.
3. Return to the /games/com.mojang/ directory, enter the behavior packs folder, and copy the folder.
4. Start the Minecraft PE game.
5. Navigate to the Game World settings. Create a new planet or make a tweak to an existing one to do this.
6. Scroll all the way to the bottom to find the settings. Open the Textures options, then choose and activate the required textures.
7. After that, enable your mod by opening the Behavior Packs settings.
