Minecraft Bedrock Edition Mod Support FAQ

Many people don't know that there is mod support for Minecraft Bedrock you can even experience them in VR with the Gear VR Edition and on Oculus Rift with the Bedrock Edition.

They’ll also work in Xbox Live friends multiplayer, LAN and on Realms, so you can play with friends.

Where can I download mods from?

There are many sites on the internet to download mods from I recommend
curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-addons

How do I install mods?

Firstly make sure the mod is for Bedrock and not Java just make sure it is a ".McPack" for a mod and ".McWorld" for a world.

Then simply open the file (double click it) like you would a text document and it will import it automatically to the game.

How do I use a mod?

Once you have imported the mod (see above) open Minecraft and find the world you want to use the mod on then go down to either Behaviour Pack Tab or Resource Pack Tab and click the mod then press Activate. Please see Can mods break my world?

Can mods break my world?

You can do awesome things with mods… like blowing up your world or creating a monster that fills your world with fireballs or lava.

You may be so good at creating monsters that those splendid new mobs end up eating your worlds before you can stop them.

So it is best to create a new world or back up your world before enabling a mod especially if you made the mod yourself.

Do Realms work with mods?

Yes, but they needed their own unique ID, UUID meaning it cannot use the same ID as a marketplace or official add-on if it does you will need to change the ID and UUID for it to work. (If you are not using a Realm (such as single player, Xbox Live friends
or LAN) you do not need a unique ID or UUID)

I am new to modding and want to make my own mod how do I do that?

The best place to start is using Minecraft's unmodified files you can download them here
aka.ms/resourcepacktemplate and here
aka.ms/behaviorpacktemplate there is documentation available here
