๐ฑ Minecraft Bedrock – Android Installation Guide
This guide will help you install Add-Ons, Resource Packs, and Worlds for Minecraft Bedrock Edition on Android devices. These typically come in .mcaddon, .mcpack, or .mcworld formats.
We recommend using the XP Horizon website for this process, and this guide is based around it.
⬇️ Step 1: Downloading Your Pack
- Locate the pack you want to download on XP Horizon.
- Tap the file once to begin the download.
- Once the download finishes, tap the Download icon ⬇️.
- When prompted, select "Minecraft" as the app to open the file.
๐ฎ The file will now open Minecraft automatically and begin importing.
✅ Step 2: Import Confirmation
- You will hear a notification sound and see "Import started..." at the top of your screen.
- If successful, Minecraft will display "Successfully Imported." ๐
If you see "Failed to import" or "Duplicate Pack Detected," refer to the Troubleshooting Guide below.
๐งฉ Step 3: Using Your Content
Add-Ons / Resource Packs
- Open Minecraft, then go to the Create/Edit World screen.
- Tap "Resource Packs" or "Behavior Packs."
- Under the Available section, locate your new pack and press "Activate."
⚠️ Note: Many Add-Ons require both behavior and resource packs to function correctly. Make sure to activate both.
๐ Worlds
- Your newly imported world will appear on the Worlds screen automatically.
- Make sure the import was successful before opening it.
๐ You're Done!
