Add-ons allow you to enhance your Minecraft: Bedrock Edition gameplay with new features, commands, and functionalities. In this article, we will explain how to easily install add-ons on your Aternos Minecraft: Bedrock Edition server. With addons, Minecraft bedrock edition introduces a new way of expanding your Minecraft experience.
Upload an addon
If you have ever looked at how to install such packs on a server, you will probably have noticed how very complicated and incomprehensible it all is. On Aternos, the installation of addons is as easy as moving a folder into another one. All addons, no matter if it is a behavior pack or a resource pack, can be uploaded directly to the packs folder of your server. Just navigate to the files page, click on the packs folder, and upload the pack. Our system then automatically scans your add-on packs and will do all of the complicated work for you.
Use content logging
If an addon does not work as expected, it can often be difficult to find the exact cause of the problem. To make this easier, you can log detailed messages related to loading and running addons.
-
Minecraft 1.20 and newer
You can enable content log console output messages in your server.properties file.
Content log messages will then show up in your regular server console output. -
Minecraft 1.19 and older
In older versions of Minecraft Bedrock Edition, content log messages can only be viewed in a special log file that can be enabled in your server.properties file.
Your server will then create a ContentLog__*.txt file in its root directory. Note that sometimes messages will only appear after the server is stopped/restarted, and that the file might not be created at all if no errors occur in your addons.
