What is the difference between a Behavior Pack and Resource Pack?

Behavior Packs change how the game works - they can add new mobs, modify existing creatures, add custom items, and change game mechanics. Resource Packs only change visuals and sounds. Many mods need both packs to work correctly.

Do I need to enable Experiments for Behavior Packs?

Most Behavior Packs require Experiments to be enabled because they use custom game features. When creating a new world, go to the Experiments section and enable \"Holiday Creator Features\" and any other experimental toggles. Without this, your mod may not work.

\"Import started\" not appearing - what should I do?

Make sure you're tapping \"Open in Minecraft\" or \"Open with Minecraft\" when the download completes. If the file downloads but nothing happens, locate the file in your Downloads folder and tap it to open. On iOS, you may need to use the Files app. On Android, check your file manager. Make sure Minecraft is installed before attempting to import.

Mod not showing in Add-Ons section

First, make sure the import was successful (you should have seen \"Successfully imported\"). Go to Settings → Storage → Resource Packs/Behavior Packs to verify the mod is installed. If it's there but not in Add-Ons, try creating a new world and checking the Add-Ons section again. Some mods only appear after enabling Experiments.

Experiments not working or grayed out

Experiments can only be enabled when creating a NEW world. You cannot enable experiments on an existing world. Create a new world and immediately go to the Experiments section before adding any add-ons. Turn on \"Holiday Creator Features\" and other experimental toggles your mod requires.

How to Install Behavior Pack

.mcpack files

Behavior Packs modify how Minecraft works - adding new mobs, changing game mechanics, and creating custom items. They use the .mcpack file format and require enabling Experiments in your world settings.
