On Minecraft Bedrock (Pocket Edition), mods come as Add-ons — behavior packs that change how the game works. The fastest way to install one is a single tap on a .mcpack or .mcaddon file.

How to install mods and add-ons on Minecraft PE Bedrock
This guide is for Minecraft Bedrock (PE) — phones, tablets, Windows 10/11 and consoles. Playing Java Edition on PC? See the Java guides.

Follow these steps

1
Download the add-on

From 9Minecraft › Bedrock Add-ons, download the .mcpack or .mcaddon file. Note if it needs Experimental features.

2
Tap the file to import it

Open your Downloads and tap the .mcpack/.mcaddon. Minecraft opens automatically and imports it — you’ll see a short black “Importing” screen, then a success message.

If tapping does nothing, install a File Manager (e.g. from Google Play), find the file in Downloads, and tap it there — or use “Open with → Minecraft”.
3
Enable it in your world

Create or edit a world → Add-Ons. Under Resource Packs and Behavior Packs, tap your pack to activate it. If the add-on needs it, turn on Experimental toggles in world settings.

4
(Advanced) .ZIP / .RAR add-ons

Some add-ons come as a .zip. Unzip it with a file manager, then move the resource folder into resource_packs and the behavior folder into behavior_packs under:

/storage/emulated/0/games/com.mojang/

Then enable both packs in your world’s Add-Ons settings.

Fixing common problems

The .mcpack won’t open

Use a File Manager to open it, or long-press → Open with → Minecraft. Make sure Minecraft is installed and updated first.

It imported but nothing changed in my world

You still need to activate it: edit the world → Behavior Packs / Resource Packs → tap the pack. Some add-ons also need Experimental features enabled.

Do add-ons work on iOS and Xbox?

Yes on iOS and Windows 10/11 (tap the .mcpack). On consoles you can’t import files directly — use Add-Ons from the in-game Marketplace or a Realm that already has them.
