Some server owners may wish to install new add-ons to their existing world on their Bedrock server. Although this is possible, it requires a few more steps than creating a new world with add-ons.
If you are using Java edition, please refer to our guide on Installing Data Packs on your Minecraft Server.
Download your Server's World
Before you can install add-ons on your existing Bedrock world, you must download it locally from your server.
- Access your control panel and Stop your server.
- Access your server files via FTP, we recommend using Filezilla.
- Navigate to the
/worlds/folder.
- Download your desired world folder.
Install Addons to your Existing World
After downloading your server's world folder, you must place it in your local world saves directory.
Note: You will be unable to edit a Bedrock World in-game if there are special characters in the world folder's name.
- Press
Win+Ron your keyboard. - Enter the following file path in the run window:
%localappdata%/Packages/Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe/LocalState/games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds
- Place your server's world into this folder.
- Launch Minecraft Bedrock, and navigate to your Worlds page.
- Click the edit button next to your newly downloaded world.
- Click the Behavior Packs or Resource Packs button.
- Click My Packs, and activate your desired add-ons.
Re-Upload your Server's Modified World
Once you've completed installing add-ons to your world, you will need to re-upload it to your server.
- Access your server files via FTP, we recommend using Filezilla.
- Navigate to the
/worlds/folder. - Rename your server's unmodified world folder.
- Upload the modified version of your server's world folder.
- Access your control panel and Start your server.
