Customize your experience with Add-Ons!

Now available on Pocket / Windows 10 Edition: Add-Ons are the first step on our journey towards bringing even greater levels of customisation to all editions of Minecraft - starting with Pocket and Windows 10. They allow players to transform the look of their worlds and even change the behavior of mobs. For example, you can change the blast radius of a creeper, or the texture it’s wearing.

Watch the video playlist below for a quick introduction to Add-Ons, along with playthroughs and tutorials to give you an idea of how Add-Ons work and what you can make with them!

Download our sample Add-Ons

We made a couple of Add-Ons to demonstrate the kinds of cool things you can do. Try them yourself - or with friends: Add-Ons work in multiplayer and on Realms!
