How to Install Behavior Packs & Addons on Your Bedrock Server

Installing Behavior Packs

1. Download the .mcpack or .mcaddon file
2. Rename to .zip and extract
3. Upload the behavior pack folder to worlds/<world-name>/behavior_packs/
4. Edit worlds/<world-name>/world_behavior_packs.json:

[
  {
    "pack_id": "uuid-from-manifest",
    "version": [1, 0, 0]
  }
]

Get the pack_id and version from the pack's manifest.json.

5. Restart the server

Resource Packs

Same process but use resource_packs/ folder and world_resource_packs.json.

Important

• Both behavior and resource packs have manifest.json with uuid and version
• Players auto-download resource packs on join (if texturepack-required=true in server.properties)
• Behavior packs with scripts may require server-authoritative-movement to be configured
