BNcraft Help

Everything you need to install mods, fix issues, and get the most out of BNcraft.

Install .mcaddon File (Add-Ons)

Full add-on with behavior + resource pack
1
Download the file

Download the Add-On (.mcaddon) file from the BNcraft website. It will be saved to your Downloads folder.

2
Open with File Manager

Open your phone's File Manager app and navigate to the Downloads folder.

3
Tap the .mcaddon file once

Your phone will ask which app to open it with. Select Minecraft from the list.

4
Wait for import to finish

Minecraft will open automatically and show "Import started…". Wait until you see "Successfully imported".

5
Activate on your world

Create or edit a world → scroll to Resource Packs and Behavior Packs → enable both. Then tap Play.

Install .mcpack File (Skin / Texture Packs)

Single pack — skins or textures only
1
Download the .mcpack file

Download the skin pack or texture pack (.mcpack) from BNcraft. It saves to your Downloads folder.

2
Tap the file to open

Open your File Manager, go to Downloads, tap the .mcpack file. Choose Minecraft when prompted.

3
Confirm import success

Minecraft imports the pack and shows a success message. For skin packs: go to Appearance → select your new skin. For texture packs: activate in world settings under Resource Packs.

Install .mctemplate File (World Templates)

Ready-made worlds and maps
1
Download the .mctemplate

Get the World Template file from BNcraft. It saves to Downloads.

2
Open with Minecraft

Tap the file in your File Manager and select Minecraft. The template will be imported.

3
Find it in World Templates

In Minecraft, go to Create New World → Templates → My Templates. Select the template and create a new world from it.

World Templates create a brand new world — they do not modify an existing one.

Install .zip Archive (Mash-Ups)

Bundle containing multiple file types

A .zip Mash-Up contains multiple files inside (e.g. a world template + skin pack + texture pack). You must extract and install each file separately.

1
Install ZArchiver

Download and install ZArchiver from the Google Play Store (free). This is the best tool to extract .zip files on Android.

2
Open the .zip with ZArchiver

Open ZArchiver, navigate to your Downloads folder, and tap the .zip file. Select "Extract here" or "Extract to folder".

3
Identify the files inside

After extraction you will find files like: .mctemplate .mcpack .mcaddon. Install each one by tapping it and choosing Minecraft.

4
Install in the correct order

Recommended order: first the world template (.mctemplate), then texture/skin packs (.mcpack), then add-ons (.mcaddon).

ZArchiver: Apps Not Showing in "Date" Tab

Files visible in Date section but can't open in Minecraft

This happens because Android restricts access to the Downloads folder from certain apps. ZArchiver needs special storage permission to see files there.

1
Grant Full Storage Access to ZArchiver

Go to Phone Settings → Apps → ZArchiver → Permissions → Storage → choose "Allow access to manage all files" (or "All files access"). Restart ZArchiver.

2
Move the file to Internal Storage root

In ZArchiver, move your .zip or .mcaddon file out of Downloads and into the root of Internal Storage (the main storage folder). Try opening it from there.

3
Still not working? Use Shizuku

If neither fix above works, Shizuku gives apps elevated access to the file system without rooting. Follow the guide below.

Shizuku requires ADB (Android Debug Bridge) from a PC or wireless ADB on Android 11+. No root needed.

1
Install Shizuku

Download Shizuku from Google Play Store. It's free and safe.

2
Enable Developer Options on your phone

Go to Settings → About Phone → tap "Build Number" 7 times. Developer Options will appear in Settings.

3
Wireless ADB (Android 11+) — No PC needed

Go to Settings → Developer Options → enable "Wireless debugging". Tap "Wireless debugging" → "Pair device with pairing code". Note the IP, port, and code shown. Back in Shizuku → tap "Pairing" → enter those details. Then tap "Start via Wireless ADB".

4
Using a PC (ADB method)

Install ADB on your PC. Connect phone via USB with USB Debugging enabled. Run: adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/start.sh — Shizuku will activate.

5
Grant ZArchiver permission in Shizuku

Once Shizuku is running (green indicator), open ZArchiver → it will ask for Shizuku permission → tap Allow. Now ZArchiver can access all files including those in the Downloads folder.

Install .mcaddon / .mcpack File

Add-ons, skins, and texture packs
1
Download the file in Safari or Chrome

Download the .mcaddon or .mcpack file from BNcraft. When the download finishes, tap the download icon in the top right of your browser.

2
Tap the file → Share → Copy to Minecraft

In the Downloads panel, tap the file. Then tap the Share icon (box with arrow) → scroll and select "Copy to Minecraft". Minecraft will open and import it automatically.

3
Alternative: Open with Files app

Open the Files app → Browse → Downloads → long-press the file → Share → Copy to Minecraft.

4
Activate in world settings

After import, create or edit a world in Minecraft. Activate the pack under Resource Packs / Behavior Packs.

Always use Safari on iOS for the best download experience. Chrome may block certain file types.

Install .mctemplate (World Templates)

Ready-made worlds for iPhone
1
Download the .mctemplate in Safari

Download from BNcraft using Safari. The file will appear in your Downloads.

2
Open with Minecraft via Share

Tap the file → Share button → Copy to Minecraft. Minecraft imports the template.

3
Create world from template

In Minecraft: Create New World → Templates → My Templates. Choose the template and tap Create.

Install .zip Archive (Mash-Ups)

Extract and install multiple files
1
Download the .zip in Safari

Download the Mash-Up .zip from BNcraft using Safari.

2
Extract using the Files app

Open Files app → Downloads → tap the .zip file once. iOS will automatically extract it into a folder.

3
Install each file inside

Open the extracted folder. For each .mctemplate, .mcpack, or .mcaddon file: long-press → Share → Copy to Minecraft.

Quick Install: .mcaddon / .mcpack (Double-click)

Fastest method — works for most files
1
Download the file

Download the .mcaddon or .mcpack file from BNcraft. It will be in your Downloads folder.

2
Double-click the file

Double-click the file. Windows will open it with Minecraft automatically. The pack imports and you will see a success notification.

3
Activate in world

Create or edit a world in Minecraft → activate the pack under Resource Packs / Behavior Packs.

Manual Install (Without Double-Clicking)

Full guide — behavior packs, resource packs, worlds

This method works when double-clicking fails, or when you want to install files directly without opening Minecraft.

1
Rename the file extension to .zip

Example: rename TrainHouse(skin_pack).mcpackTrainHouse(skin_pack).zip. Right-click the file → Rename. If you don't see the extension, open File Explorer → View → check "File name extensions".

2
Extract the .zip

Right-click the renamed .zip → "Extract All" (or use 7-Zip / WinRAR). Extract to a folder you can find easily, like your Desktop.

3
Find the correct Minecraft folder

Press Win + R → type %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang → press Enter. This is the Minecraft data folder.

4
Copy to the right subfolder

Now you need to copy the extracted folder to the correct location based on what type of pack it is:

Resource Pack / Texture Pack / Skin Pack (.mcpack):

com.mojang resource_packs

Behavior Pack (.mcaddon behavior part):

com.mojang behavior_packs

A .mcaddon file contains TWO folders inside: one behavior pack folder and one resource pack folder. After renaming to .zip and extracting, you will see both folders. Copy the behavior pack folder to behavior_packs and the resource pack folder to resource_packs.

1
Rename to .zip and extract

Rename the .mctemplate file to .zip → extract it. The extracted folder is your world data.

2
Copy to minecraftWorlds

Copy the extracted folder into:

com.mojang minecraftWorlds
3
Open Minecraft and find the world

Open Minecraft → Play → the world will appear in your worlds list. Tap it to load.

A Mash-Up .zip contains several different pack types inside. Each needs to go to its own folder. Extract the .zip first, then handle each sub-folder separately.

1
Extract the main .zip

Right-click → Extract All. You will see multiple folders/files inside.

2
Identify each folder type

Look inside each sub-folder for a manifest.json file. If it says "type": "resources" → it goes to resource_packs. If "type": "data" → it goes to behavior_packs. If it has level.dat → it's a world, goes to minecraftWorlds.

3
Copy each to the correct folder

Place each identified folder into the matching Minecraft directory as shown above.

Install .mctemplate (Quick Method)

Double-click import for world templates
1
Download the .mctemplate

Download from BNcraft. Find it in your Downloads folder.

2
Double-click to import

Double-click the .mctemplate file. Minecraft will open and import it as a world template.

3
Create world from template

In Minecraft → Create New World → Templates → My Templates → select and create.

Screen freezing / page stuck loading
LootLabs page won't load or stays blank
1
Turn OFF your VPN

If you have an active VPN, disable it. LootLabs blocks many VPN IP addresses, causing the page to freeze or stay blank. This is the #1 fix.

2
Disable ad blockers

LootLabs relies on ads to function. If you have AdBlock, uBlock Origin, or any ad blocker extension, disable it specifically for lootlabs.gg.

3
Clear browser cache

In browser settings, clear cookies and cache for lootlabs.gg. In Chrome: Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data.

4
Hard refresh the page

Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) to reload without cache.

5
Try a different browser

If Chrome is freezing, try Firefox or Edge. Some browsers work better with LootLabs.

6
Change your DNS

Switch DNS to Google: 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 or Cloudflare: 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1.

Page showing blank / white screen
Nothing visible on the LootLabs page
1
Disable ALL browser extensions

Temporarily disable every extension. Ad blockers, privacy tools, and tracker blockers all cause blank screens on LootLabs.

2
Disable VPN / Proxy

Make sure no VPN or proxy is running in the background. Also check your phone's settings.

3
Flush DNS cache

On Windows: open Command Prompt and type ipconfig /flushdns → press Enter. Then retry.

4
Use Incognito / Private mode

Open an incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+N) and access LootLabs from there. This disables most extensions automatically.

Tasks not completing / download button missing
LootLabs tasks aren't being saved
1
Complete tasks properly

Every task must be fully completed. For YouTube tasks: watch the entire video. For Discord tasks: actually join the server.

2
Wait a few seconds after completing

After finishing a task, wait 5–10 seconds before clicking "Done". The system needs time to verify.

3
Do not use bypass tools

Don't use any scripts or extensions to skip tasks — LootLabs detects this and blocks the download.

4
Try mobile data

If tasks won't save on Wi-Fi, switch to mobile data. Some home networks block the tracking pixels LootLabs uses.

LootLabs loading very slowly
Pages taking minutes to load
1
Check your internet speed

LootLabs loads many ads. You need at least a stable 5 Mbps connection. Test your speed at fast.com or speedtest.net.

2
Close other tabs

Close all unnecessary browser tabs. Too many open tabs can slow down LootLabs ad loading.

3
Switch DNS to Google

Slow DNS resolution can cause delays. Set DNS to 8.8.8.8 for faster lookups.

4
Try at a different time

LootLabs servers may be congested during peak hours. Try downloading early morning or late at night.

CAPTCHA keeps appearing / failing
Verification loop on LootLabs
1
Disable VPN and try again

CAPTCHAs appear more often with VPN IPs flagged as suspicious. Disable your VPN and refresh.

2
Allow JavaScript

Make sure JavaScript is enabled in your browser. CAPTCHAs won't load without it.

3
Switch to a different network

Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or vice versa. Your current IP may be flagged.

4
Use a different browser

Open the LootLabs link in a fresh browser that has no extensions installed.

What's the difference between .mcaddon, .mcpack, .mctemplate, and .zip?
Understanding all Minecraft file types
.mcaddon

A complete Add-On containing both a Behavior Pack and a Resource Pack in one file. This is the most common type for full mods.

.mcpack

A single pack file — either a Skin Pack or a Texture/Resource Pack. Contains only one type of content.

.mctemplate

A World Template file that creates a ready-made world. Used for adventure maps, survival worlds, and game modes.

.zip (Mash-Up)

An archive containing multiple files — commonly used for Mash-Up packs that include a world + skins + textures all together. Extract the .zip first, then install each file inside separately.

1
Check Minecraft version compatibility

The mod was built for a specific Minecraft version. Make sure you are using that exact version. Check the mod page on BNcraft for version info.

2
Enable Experimental Gameplay

Go to world settings → Experiments → enable all relevant toggles. Many mods require experimental features to be turned on.

3
Remove conflicting mods

Try disabling other active mods one by one. Two mods may be conflicting with each other.

4
Reinstall the mod

Delete the pack from Minecraft storage and re-import the file fresh from BNcraft.

I enabled the mod but nothing changed in my world

Enable BOTH Behavior Pack and Resource Pack

If the mod has two parts, both must be activated in the world settings. Go to world settings → Resource Packs → activate, AND → Behavior Packs → activate.

2
Turn on Experimental Gameplay

In world settings → Experiments → enable the required toggles (Holiday Creator Features, etc.).

3
Fully close and reopen Minecraft

Completely close Minecraft from your recent apps, then reopen. Some mods require a full restart to load.

File downloaded but missing from storage
📱
Android

Open your File Manager → Downloads folder. On some Android phones, it may be in Internal Storage → Download. If still missing, try a different browser to download.

🍎

"Duplicate Pack Detected" error
Error when importing a mod
1
Delete the old version first

This mod is already installed. Go to Minecraft → Settings → Storage → Resource Packs (or Behavior Packs) → find the old version → delete it. Then re-import the new file.

Do I need internet to use mods after installing?
Playing offline with mods
No! Mods work completely offline.

Once a mod is installed and activated on a world, you can play fully offline. You only need internet to download mods from BNcraft. After installation, all mod files are stored locally on your device.
