How To Install Behavior Packs (Mods/Addons) to Your Minecraft Bedrock Server

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing behavior packs (mods/addons) on your Minecraft Bedrock server. Behavior packs modify your Minecraft Bedrock server and come in various file formats like .mcaddon, .mcpack.

Compatibility Warning

Java Edition mods are NOT compatible with Bedrock Edition. Files that appear as a mod.jar or plugin.jar will not work on Bedrock servers.

Additionally, paid Marketplace addons are encrypted and cannot be transferred to third-party dedicated servers. Our guide only covers how to use behavior packs from trusted sources.
