Adding Resource/ Behaviour Packs to your server

warning

Before adding or removing resource/ behaviour packs, ensure your server is switched OFF to prevent data loss/corruption.

Before adding resource or behaviour packs to your server, you'll need to create a local world in Bedrock Edition with the packs you wish to upload enabled. To get started:

1. Using the Minecraft launcher, start Bedrock Edition, find the resource/ behaviour packs you wish to use and download them to your PC.

2. Once you have installed the required packs(s), create a new world in Bedrock Edition, then close the game.

3. Next, open your file explorer on your PC, and navigate to C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Bedrock\Users\YourMinecraftUserID\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds, replacing YourUsername with your local account name. YourMinecraftUserID will instead be a numerical string unique to each user on your PC.

4. Inside the minecraftWorlds directory, you will see your world save folder(s). Open the folder of the world you have just created; if it isn't clear which world you will need, check its timestamp in the explorer window.

5. From the available files and folders, select the behaviour_packs and resource_packs folders along with the world_behaviour_packs.json, world_behaviour_pack_history.json, world_resource_pack.json and world_resource_packs_history.json files. Right-click one of the highlighted files.
6. Select Compress to....
7. Select ZIP File.

info

Please note that you may not be able to locate world_behaviour_pack_history.json or world_resource_packs_history.json; it's not a problem if you're unable to locate them.

Now your resource/ behaviour packs are prepared, log in to the CreeperPanel if you haven't already. Next:

8. Navigate to your Minecraft: Bedrock Edition installation under the Games & Software tab.
9. Select Files, found under Settings on the instance's submenu.
10. Select the worlds directory to open it.
11. Select the world folder you wish to add the resource/ behaviour packs to; in this example, the world folder is called My World- your world name may differ.

12. Locate the .ZIP archive you created earlier, and select the file.
13. Drag and drop the archive into the open directory on the CreeperPanel to upload it.

14. Right click the newly uploaded archive.
15. Select Extract.

16. The CreeperPanel will open an internal pop-up; select Extract to extract the files directly to your world folder.

17. You should now see your extracted files and folders in your world directory; it should look like the example below.

That's it - you've uploaded and prepared your resource packs; your instance should now have the packs enabled. Feel free to restart your server!
