In this guide we will be showing you how to upload and install Minecraft bedrock addons to your Minecraft server.
Step 1.
Download a minecraft bedrock addon from the likes of Curseforge. In this guide we will be installing the "essentials" addon.
Step 2.
Once you have downloaded your addon upload it to your server. For this demonstration we have a file in the format .mcaddon. We need to extract this file to get our behaviour and resource files. Click the three dots on the file and click "unarchive" this will give us 2 folders both labelled (BP) and (RP).
Step 3.
Now we need to move the folder that's labelled (BP) to the behaviour_packs folder and the folder that's labelled (RP) to the resource_packs folder.
Step 4.
Now our files are in their correct places it's now time to generate the config files in the world folder. Go to Worlds -> level. Create 2 files called:
- world_behaviour_packs.json
- world_resource_packs.json
Step 5.
Go into the "world_behaviour_packs.json" file and paste the following:
[
{
"pack_id" : "UUID HERE",
"version" : [version,number,here]
}
]Now to get the UUID and version number we need to open up the folder we moved to the behaviour_packs folder and open the manifest.json file. Copy the UUID and the version number into the "world_behaviour_packs.json" file.
Next repeat the same for the "world_resource_packs.json" file getting the UUID and version number from the file we moved to the "resource_packs" folder.
Step 6.
Now we have installed the addon and configured the config files for the world now it's time to start the server and see if there is any issues!
