Revision as of 11:09, 23 April 2026
Template:For Template:Exclusive
An add-on is a package format and a type of Minecraft:downloadable content that provides additional custom game features beyond the base game in Minecraft. It contains a set of Template:Ws used for constructing and customizing certain game objects and elements, such as Minecraft:entities, Minecraft:blocks, Minecraft:items, Minecraft:biomes, Minecraft:structures, the Minecraft:user interface, and more. It is officially supported by Minecraft:Mojang Studios, who provide the Creator Documentation for developers.
Add-ons consist of three main APIs: a Minecraft:resource pack for managing assets and resources, a Minecraft:behavior pack for defining data-driven behaviors, and scripting for writing a set of procedural instructions to perform custom behaviors and interactions. These functions and utilities are used for Template:W.
Add-ons are officially hosted on the Minecraft:Marketplace, where players can download or purchase them on their devices using an in-game digital currency called Minecraft:Minecoins. They must be submitted by members in the Minecraft:Minecraft Partner Program and approved by the Minecraft Content Team, or made directly in collaboration with Minecraft:Mojang Studios as official DLC. They can also be packaged for external downloading, but these cannot be imported on consoles.
Overview
Packs
Add-ons can be created with two types of data packs: Minecraft:behavior packs and Minecraft:resource packs. Behavior packs can be used to change Minecraft:gameplay and allow adding and customizing entity behaviors,<ref>Template:Citation</ref> Minecraft:loot tables,<ref>Template:Citation</ref> spawn rules,<ref>Template:Citation</ref> Minecraft:item behaviors,<ref>Template:Citation</ref> item Minecraft:recipes,<ref>Template:Citation</ref> biome characteristics,<ref name="biome-component-list">Template:Citation</ref> and much more. Resource packs affect how the game looks and have no effect on gameplay, and they allow adding and customizing Minecraft:textures, Minecraft:models, Minecraft:music, texts, and interfaces.
Definitions are written in Minecraft:JSON files, which are organized in multiple folders by their features. This system allows users to override and modify certain features in the base game, or add unique features with their own pack.
All contents of an add-on can be packaged together in a zipped Template:Cd file. An add-on file can be automatically imported by the game, which will organize all contents in the dedicated directories in Template:Cd.
Sub-packs
Resource packs and behavior packs can contain other packs inside the root, known as sub-packs.<ref>Template:Cite</ref> A sub-pack has the same format as the main pack and the directory of a sub-pack can have any name. Sub-packs need to be specified in the Template:Cd file of the main pack, where a name and minimum memory tier can also be added. For example, a pack can have multiple less resource-intensive sub-packs for lower memory tiers, but it can also be used for other types of settings. The memory tier, affecting which sub-pack is used, can be adjusted in the pack's settings menu in-game.
Molang
Template:Main Molang is a simple expression-based language designed for fast, data-driven calculation of values at run-time, and with a direct connection to in-game values and systems. It is used Template:In in their add-on system with its purpose being to enable low-level systems like animation to support flexible data-driven behavior for both internal and external creators, while staying highly performant.<ref>"Molang Documentation - Introduction to Molang"</ref>
Scripting
Scripting is an add-on feature used to write a set of procedural instructions for the game to perform custom behaviors and interactions at a certain time or in response to events and actions.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> It lets users control behaviors of entities, blocks, and items; characteristics of the world; or an entire game loop.<ref name="intro-scripting">Template:Citation</ref> It is fundamentally different from the behavior pack system, the latter uses a component system with preset definitions provided by the game.
Script files are written in the Template:W programming language and loaded by the game under the Template:Cd directory inside an add-on. Users may use Template:W, a dialect of JavaScript, which provides better error reporting and a static type system.<ref name="intro-scripting"/><ref>Template:Citation</ref> The Scripting API provides script modules for users to interact with the game, each module must be added as a dependency in the Minecraft:manifest.json, some notable ones are:<ref>Template:Citation</ref>
- Template:Cd – provides common resources, such as error classes or interfaces.
- Template:Cd – provides interactions between the script engine and the game world, such as blocks, entities, items, players, and others.
- Template:Cd – provides players and server communication through customizable forms.
- Template:Cd – allows to dynamically customize graphical settings from Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals defined in resource packs, at this moment only atmospherics.
- Template:Cd – provides access to the Internet through web requests, such as GET, POST, and others.
- Template:Cd – provides the Minecraft:GameTest framework for testing behaviors and interactions within the game world. See Template:Slink for further information.
- And other modules, further reading.
The Scripting API also provides a way to define and register custom commands.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>
The Scripting API version 2 is a major update to the Scripting API, which provides a new API to define custom components along with other major API changes that aren't backward compatible with the previous version.<ref>Template:Citation</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref>
Marketplace
The Minecraft:Marketplace is an in-game platform where creators may sell their add-ons to the player-base. All Marketplace content must be submitted by members in the Minecraft:Minecraft Partner Program and approved by the Minecraft Content Team. Purchased content in the Marketplace is synchronized to the player's Microsoft account, and if they are not signed in, it is saved locally on their device.
Free add-ons are released as part of special events, for occasions such as to promote the release of Minecraft:A Minecraft Movie for Minecraft's 15 Years celebration and the eventful McDonald's X A Minecraft Movie promotion. See Template:Slink for a full list of add-ons officially promoted by Minecraft:Mojang Studios.
In addition to the Marketplace, there are community websites dedicated to hosting community-made add-ons, although such add-ons may only be loaded on Windows and mobile, whereas consoles can only access those add-ons through Minecraft:Realms.
Minecraft Education
In 2026, add-ons were introduced into Minecraft:Minecraft Education.<ref name=":edu">Template:Citation</ref><ref name=":video">Template:YouTube link</ref> These add-ons are all free, and designed to be optional utilities for teachers. All DLC of this nature are referred to as add-ons, however several function as Minecraft:skin packs instead.
Loading tipsTemplate:Anchor
Extra Minecraft:loading tip messages appear if the player is loading a world with add-ons applied. The loading message box is titled "Modified World", and loading tip messages would primarily warn the player about the add-ons or resource packs applied. For a full list, see Template:Slink.
