How to add Add ons in Minecraft Pocket Edition
Minecraft in its PC version is distinguished mainly by the ability it has to add mods that allow you to radically change aspects of the video game. And not only this, but it has a community of modders that is one of its main qualities if we compare it to the console and mobile versions. This is why Mojang is looking for a way to bring that concept to mobile.
From version 0.16 or higher, you can now add Add ons that allow you to make very interesting changes to the game. From the Minecraft / addons website, you can find two that Mojang has recently added so that you can try two worlds that are almost two games themselves: Alien Invasion and Castle Siege. That is why we are going to show you how to install those Add Ons on your Android terminal for Minecraft Pocket Edition.
How to add Add ons in Minecraft Pocket Edition
- The first thing is to have Minecraft Pocket Edition installed on your version 0.16 or higher
- Now we go to this minecraft / addons and download any of the two Add ons that Mojang has launched. I recommend you Alien invasion, since it performs better in quality terminals
- Now from a file explorer (in my case I use Total Commander, but any other like ES File Explorer is worth it), we go to downloads
- We locate the downloaded file alien-invasion.605d227de07b.mcworld and we rename it to:
alien-invasion.605d227de07b.zip
- What we do is convert it to .zip format to be able to unzip the folder in the games / com.mojang / minecraftWorlds directory
- It should look like the following image:
- Now we only have launch Minecraft Pocket Edition
- Give to Play
- And select the world «Minecon Alien Invasion«
- It will be launched and we will already have the entire alien invasion to play with friends or alone
Minecraft will go adding more official add ons And we have a whole community of modders. Remember that this way of adding add-ons only works for files ending in .mcworld.
