Open the folder ‘vanilla’ then the folder called ‘client.’ You should see a list of files that looks like this:Ĭopy all of the contents of the folder, and paste them into your new resource pack. Now go back to the vanilla Minecraft files you downloaded from the website. For the sake of the test, I named mine owl_resources. Start by opening the folder ‘resource_packs.’ Unless you’ve created or downloaded a resource pack before, it’s probably empty. Here, you can see the folder for behavior packs, which determine how mobs behave, as well as resource packs, which determine how they look. In that folder, click ‘LocalState,’ then ‘games’ and finally ‘com.mojang.’ You should see the following folders: There’s a lot of content in here so search for the Minecraft folder which will look something like this: Type ‘Run’ into the start menu then from the Run command prompt, type ‘appdata’Ĭlick on the folder ‘Local’, then ‘Packages’. Next you’re going to want to start adding content Minecraft.

Step 2: Navigate to Your Local World’s Resources Folders You can write these yourself from scratch but it’s a lot easier to start with these as a base. Here you can download the two demo add on packs that were created by the Minecraft Team and SethBling but you can also download the json files for vanilla Minecraft. Step 1: Download the Vanilla Minecraft Files When I’m done, I’ll be able to add owls to my Minecraft world that look like this:ĭownload the Vanilla Files | Navigate to Local Worlds Folders | Create a New Resource Pack | Create the Texture | Create a New Behavior Pack | Modify the Size and Speed | Load the Resource and Behavior Packs I’m going to modify the bat mob to look like an owl.

In this tutorial, I’ll walk through how to create a simple add on on my Windows 10 computer (you can create them on any computer and upload them to your Pocket Edition device directly but it’s a bit easier to use the Win10 Edition).

In addition to some awesome new gameplay including underwater monuments and the wither, 0.16 includes Add Ons, which allow you to modify the way that mobs in the game look and behave. This week brought us the 0.16 release (also known as the Boss Update) for Minecraft Pocket Edition and Minecraft Windows 10 Edition Beta.
