This articles discusses the Minecraft Add ons those were revealed earlier and their history and breakdown.
Bedrock Edition mods for Minecraft have been around since the game’s inception. They’ve been compared to Java Edition mods’ Bedrock equivalent. On February 20, 2024, Mojang did, however, reveal that Minecraft Add ons would have their own section in the in-game marketplace. Player-made add ons can now be downloaded and installed straight from Bedrock Edition thanks to this feature.
It is well-known that the devoted modding community of Minecraft has played a significant role in the game’s continued popularity. However, throughout the entire time, the PC-only version of the game, Minecraft Java, has been the domain of mods. Today, the cross-platform Minecraft Bedrock edition released “add-ons” via its in-game store, which are basically paid and free modifications.
The launch catalog of Minecraft Add ons features items that have been popularized by Minecraft modders over the years, such as computers, pets, and furniture that can be crafted. Additionally, there is the long-popular Gravestone add-on, which keeps your whole stuff in a lootable grave upon death rather than dumping it on the ground. Mojang is giving out several add ons for free in honor of the event, including Spark Pets, Another Furniture Add-On, All The Wool, Hiker’s Friend, Gravestone, and More TNT.
If you’re doubling over in shock because you assumed that Minecraft came with “add-ons,” you’re not incorrect. That’s how it had previously been referring to additions for Bedrock made by the community.
Given that Mojang has stated that add ons would be compatible with both the old and new worlds, this might not be the most thrilling update. This implies that in order to enable add ons for a world they enjoy, gamers don’t have to rebuild it or create a new one. This should prove to be a significant plus for those who have spent many hours immersed in their virtual worlds.
Along with other downloadable content like texture packs, maps, skins, and more, add-ons now have their own category on the Minecraft Marketplace. There are already a few add-ons available for free on the market, and there have also been several that cost Minecoins. Whatever the case, enabling the Minecraft Add-ons for a planet is a very simple process once they have been downloaded.
Although Minecraft Add ons have long been accessible through unaffiliated websites such as MCPEDL, Mojang has included them in the Minecraft Marketplace as part of their creators’ program, enabling users to earn from the sale and download of their creations by other users. These add-ons can be activated for both new and old in-game worlds and realms after they have been downloaded.
It goes without saying that a lot of players will continue to use add-ons from unpaid third-party websites. In situations where accessing third-party websites isn’t feasible, players can still modify the game thanks to add-ons available in the Minecraft Marketplace. This should be especially important for console gamers, as their main source of downloadable content is still the marketplace.
