Instructions to download and install mods for Minecraft Pocket Edition

In this article, let's learn in detail how to download and install mods in Minecraft Pocket Edition.

Things to know before installing mods

There are two ways to install mods in Minecraft PE either through a third-party application or manually.

In addition to versioning requirements, players should read the instructions clearly in any mod before downloading. These can include custom crafting recipes, require experimental mode to be enabled, or force the character to travel to specific locations for the mod to work properly. For example, if you are installing a car mod, you need to read instructions on how to build a car.

Furthermore, not all Minecraft mods and add-ons will work with all versions of the game so they may not work well on Minecraft PE.

Players should start using the mod in a new world as the mod can make a lot of significant changes to the game or even be incompatible with the current seed.
