Note

If you are using a mobile device, it is recommended to type the JSON contents manually to avoid hidden characters that can cause errors.

Overview#

Backup WorldBack up your world before making configuration changes.
Check Addon CompatibilityMake sure the addon matches your Bedrock server version.

Make sure the addon files have been extracted and are no longer in .zip or .mcaddon format.

Steps#

Step 1: Upload the Addon to the Server#

  1. Log in to the Arqonara Panel. links
  2. Open the Files menu.
  3. Go to the folder that matches the addon type:
    • resource_packs → for Resource Packs
    • behavior_packs → for Behavior Packs
  4. Upload the addon files.
  5. Extract / Unarchive the files.
  6. Delete the archive files (.zip / .mcaddon) when done.

Step 2: Register the Addon to the World#

The addon will not activate until it is registered to the world. Go to the following folder:

txt

worlds/default/

Create a new file as needed:

  • world_behavior_packs.json
  • world_resource_packs.json

Step 3: Fill in the JSON Format#

Use the following format in the JSON file:

json

[  
    {    
        "pack_id": "UUID-ADDON",
        "version": [1, 0, 0]  
    }
]

If you are using more than one addon, use the following format:

json

[  
    {    
        "pack_id": "UUID-ADDON-1",
        "version": [1, 0, 0]  
        },
        { 
        "pack_id": "UUID-ADDON-2",
        "version": [1, 0, 0]
    }
]

The UUID and version can be found in the manifest.json file inside the addon folder.
