On this page, we will learn how to install Minecraft Bedrock Edition Add-Ons on Android and iPhone that you have made with MCreator. First, you need to export your Add-On from MCreator into mcaddon file.
Installing add-ons on PC is as simple as clicking on the exported .mcaddon, but on phones, it is a bit more tricky. Here we present some options on how to do it.
Direct file installation by downloading the mcaddon file
The most simple solution is to upload your Minecraft mcaddon file on the upload service (eg. Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.) in order to download it to your mobile device. You can also use a USB cable to transfer the file to the mobile device.
Once the mcaddon file is on the device, use File Manager to locate the file, click on the file and the import of the add-on should start. The pre-requirement is of course to have Minecraft PE (Bedrock Edition) installed on your device.
Using realms
If you have an active subscription for Minecraft Realms, you can create a new realm on your PC with Bedrock Edition installed. When editing the settings of the realm, enable the add-on there. To install the add-on into PC Bedrock Edition, just double-click the addon file. Then join your Realm from the mobile device and the add-on will be transferred and installed for you.
Marketplace
The last option may not be feasible for everyone, since it requires setting up a Minecraft Bedrock Edition marketplace account.
If you have a marketplace publisher account, you can upload the addon there and then install it on your mobile device directly by using the marketplace functionality in the game.
Experimental features
When installing custom add-ons, make sure to enable experimental features in order for them to load:
- Tap Game under Edit Settings
- Scroll down to Experiments
- Turn on Holiday Creator Features
- Turn on Creation of Custom Biomes
- Turn on Additional Modding Capabilities
- Turn on Enable GameTest Framework
