How to install an addon on a Bedrock server¶

On a Bedrock dedicated server, behavior packs and resource packs are usually installed by placing them in the server's pack folders and then linking them to the active world.

1. Upload the pack to the right folder¶

1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
2. Select your Bedrock server.
3. Go to Files.
4. Upload the pack to the matching folder:
5. behavior_packs/ for behavior packs
6. resource_packs/ for resource packs
7. Extract the file if it is still a .zip or .mcpack.

2. Check manifest.json¶

Each Bedrock pack has a manifest.json. From that file, note down:

• the pack's UUID in the header
• the pack version

The UUID must be a valid UUID in the format, for example:

12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab

3. Link the pack to the world¶

Bedrock worlds usually need a reference file for active packs, such as world_behavior_packs.json or world_resource_packs.json in the active world's folder.

Example file contents:

[
  {
    "pack_id": "12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab",
    "version": [1, 0, 0]
  }
]

The pack_id and version must match what is in the pack's manifest.json.

4. Restart the server¶

Once the pack files and reference files are in place:

1. Save your changes.
2. Restart the server.
3. Check the console if the addon is not detected.

Troubleshooting¶

• Make sure the UUID is valid and not made up.
• Make sure the version in the world file matches the version in manifest.json.
• Make sure the pack is in the correct folder.
• Make sure the active world is the one actually referencing that JSON file.
