Minecraft for iOS and Android is a massive game in its own right, with plenty of adventures to go on and lots of mobs to fight. Players who have already conquered the Ender Dragon and completed the entire game may be looking for things to do, and that’s where mods and add-ons come in!
Minecraft Pocket Edition has a plethora of fun community add-on maps with custom challenges, and today we’ll be showcasing the best of the best in our Minecraft Pocket Edition best mods and how to install them guide!
How to Use Mods and Add-Ons
If you’re new to the Minecraft modding scene, you may be wondering what exactly mods and add-ons are. Mod is short for modification and they are used primarily in the Java version of Minecraft. Add-ons are the same thing but they are for the “Bedrock” version, which is basically any version of Minecraft that isn’t the Java edition.
Since Minecraft Pocket Edition is the Bedrock version of Minecraft, we’ll be talking about add-ons. Add-ons are expansion packs that can add all sorts of new things to the world of Minecraft, including new mobs, new biomes, new tools and weapons, and more! They’re a great way to give Minecraft a new spin once you’ve done everything in the base game.
To install an add-on pack for Minecraft Pocket Edition, you must go to the marketplace from the main menu. You’ll see four buttons: skin packs, worlds, texture packs, and mash-up packs. Primarily the add-ons that change Minecraft will be in the worlds section.
All add-ons must be purchased with minecoins, the premium currency of Minecraft Pocket Edition. World add-ons can range anywhere from 600 to 2,000 coins, which is about $15 USD. Once you purchase an add-on, you can enable it when you’re creating a new world through the behavior packs menu.
Which add-on packs are worth your time? We have a bunch of high rated add-ons here for you, so read on to make sure you get your money’s worth!
