How to Add Resource or Behavior Packs to Your Bedrock Server


${youtube}[How to add Resource or Behavior Packs to your Bedrock Server!](UH2tP1g1F_4)

This article will show you how to add a resource or behavior pack to your Bedrock server.

Keep in mind that behavior packs are available only for the Bedrock edition of Minecraft! Also, they are usually changing different mechanics of your Bedrock server, like advancements, structures, recipes, etc.

So you can use the Resource/ Behavior pack to create a better experience for your players on the server, altering the default game.

||| Please note that you cannot add resource/ behavior packs to a server directly, you need to load them first in a single-player world, then upload that world back to your server.

# How to Add Packs to Your Server

Please note that you cannot add resource/ behavior packs to a server directly, you need to load them first in a single-player world, then upload that world back to your server.

**After you loaded the wanted resource/behavior packs on your client, you need to:**

1. Download your Bedrock server world folder.

||| We have a guide explaining how to download your Bedrock world [here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-download-your-world-on-your-bedrock-server-1w6cgrg/).

2. Move your server world folder you just downloaded to your local `minecraftWorlds` folder.

* To find the mentioned folder just press the `Windows` key, then type `run` and hit `Enter`. You will have to input the following in the window that appears, then hit the `Enter` key again:

`%LocalAppData%PackagesMicrosoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbweLocalStategamescom.mojangminecraftWorlds`


—

3. Open your Minecraft Bedrock PC client, go to `Worlds` and click on the edit button for the world you just added to your `minecraftWorlds`.


|| NOTE: If your world is not showing up, you can right-click on the world folder you downloaded and add it to an archive (ZIP file). Then, rename it by changing the `.zip` at the end to `.mcworld`. When you double-click on the `.mcworld` file, it will automatically be imported to your Bedrock PC client as a new world.


—

4. Click on `Resource Packs` or `Behaviors Packs` depending on what pack you want to load, and then click on `Activate` to add them to your world.


|| Be sure the packs were first loaded into your Bedrock client as explained in the first section of the guide!

—

5. Now, that you added the resource/ behaviors packs to your world, you can get a copy of the world folder from the `minecraftWorlds` folder and proceed to upload it to your server.

|| NOTE: You can also export the world from your Bedrock PC client in the `Worlds` section by pressing the edit button for the specified world, then clicking on `Export`. The exported file will be a `.mcworld` file. Replace the `.mcworld` with `.zip` and copy the content of the archive to a new folder to get your actual world folder.
