How to Install Addons in Minecraft Bedrock Edition

1. Launch Minecraft.
2. Click on the world or Add-On file you want to open (URL, e-mail attachment, etc.).
3. Your device will prompt you to open the file with Minecraft.
4. Click Open in “Minecraft”. This will launch Minecraft with your selected file.

If you’re opening a .mcworld that contains Add-Ons, the game will notify you that you’ve successfully imported the world. It will then be available from the “Play” menu.

If you’re opening a .mcpack, a pop-up notification will alert you, notifying you that you’ve successfully imported the pack. Depending on the pack type, this will then be available when editing worlds in either the Behavior Pack Tab or Resource Pack Tab.

Android

1. Launch Minecraft.
2. Download the world or Add-On file to your Android device.
