🧩 Installing Mods with .MCPack or .MCAddon Files
These are the easiest formats to install in Minecraft PE. Follow the steps below:
✅ Steps:
1. Download the Mod/Add-on
Make sure the file format is .mcpack or .mcaddon.
2. Locate the File
Go to your Downloads folder or where the file was saved.
3. Tap to Open
Just click on the file. Minecraft PE will automatically launch and start importing the mod.
4. Having Trouble Opening the File?
If your device doesn't open the file directly:
Download a File Manager app from Google Play (e.g. File Manager by InShot).
Use it to navigate to the file and open it manually.
5. Wait for Installation
You might see a black screen — that’s normal. Wait a few seconds for it to finish importing.
6. Apply the Mod in Minecraft
Go to Settings > Resource Packs and Behavior Packs in your world.
Activate the new packs before launching your game!

These types of mods require a bit more effort but offer greater flexibility.
✅ Steps:
1. Check Your Minecraft Version
Make sure you have a compatible version of Minecraft PE installed.
2. Download the Archive
Get the .zip or .rar file of the mod (e.g., "More Chairs Addon").
3. Install a File Explorer
Use an app like ZArchiver or File Manager to extract files.
4. Unpack the Archive
Locate the downloaded file in your “Downloads” folder.
Extract it using your file explorer.
5. Understand the Folder Structure
You’ll usually find two folders inside:
A Textures folder.
A Behavior Pack folder.
6. Copy the Textures Folder
Navigate to /games/com.mojang/resource_packs/.
Paste the Textures folder here.
7. Copy the Behavior Pack Folder
Navigate to /games/com.mojang/behavior_packs/.
Paste the Behavior Pack folder here.
8. Launch Minecraft PE
Create a new world or edit an existing one.
Scroll to the bottom and go to Resource Packs and Behavior Packs.
Activate the new mod folders.
