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.

What is Work.ink?
Learn about the platform we use for file links
💡
A link shortening and monetization platform

Work.ink is a service that shortens download links and displays a short advertisement before taking you to the actual file. Think of it as a small gateway — you view one quick ad, and in return you get access to all our mods and add-ons completely free of charge. No subscription, no hidden fees, just a few seconds of your time.

🔗
How it works

When you click a BNcraft download link, you'll be taken to a Work.ink page. There you'll see a short advertisement for about 5 to 10 seconds. Once the timer runs out, a "Continue" or "Get Link" button will appear. Tap it, and you'll be redirected straight to your mod file on Mediafire or our direct storage.

Why does BNcraft use Work.ink?
The honest reason behind our choice
💰
To earn a small income and keep the site alive

Running BNcraft isn't free. We pay for website hosting, domain registration, file storage, and spend countless hours creating, testing, and updating mods. Work.ink generates a tiny bit of ad revenue every time someone downloads a file. That income goes straight back into the site — better servers, more mods, and a smoother experience for everyone.

🚀
To grow and improve BNcraft

Every download through Work.ink helps us invest in new tools, faster hosting, and more ambitious mod projects. The more the community supports us through these links, the more we can give back — with higher quality add-ons, quicker updates, and exclusive content.

Everything stays completely free for you

We will never ask you to pay for mods. Never. Work.ink lets us cover our costs without putting up a paywall. You watch one short ad, we earn a little bit, and you get the mod. It's that simple, and it keeps the BNcraft community open to everyone.

How to download files through Work.ink
Step-by-step guide to get your mods
1
Click the download link on BNcraft

Find the mod you want and tap the download button. You'll be taken to a Work.ink page.

2
Wait for the timer to finish

A short advertisement will appear. Wait about 5 to 10 seconds. You'll see a countdown or a progress bar at the top of the page.

3
Tap "Continue" or "Get Link"

Once the button appears, tap it. You may need to complete a quick verification (like "I'm not a robot") — but most of the time it's just a single tap.

4
You'll arrive at the file

After tapping, you'll be redirected to the actual file — usually on Mediafire or our direct download server. From there, download and install as normal.

Work.ink page not opening or stuck?
Troubleshooting common Work.ink problems
1
Turn off your VPN

Work.ink sometimes blocks VPN IP addresses. If the page won't load or gets stuck, disable your VPN and try again. This fixes the issue most of the time.

2
Disable ad blockers

Work.ink needs to show an ad to work. Ad blockers like AdBlock or uBlock Origin will stop the page from loading properly. Disable them for Work.ink and refresh.

3
Try a different browser

If Chrome is giving you trouble, switch to Firefox, Edge, or Safari. Some browsers handle the redirect process better than others.

4
Wait and refresh

Sometimes the page just needs a moment. Wait a few seconds, then tap refresh. If the timer has reset, just wait through it again — it'll work on the second try.

5
Use mobile data instead of Wi-Fi

Some home or school networks block Work.ink. Switch to your phone's mobile data and the page should open instantly.

"Continue" button isn't showing up
Timer finished but no button appears
1
Scroll down the page

Sometimes the button appears below the visible area of your screen. Scroll down slowly and look for a "Continue" or "Get Link" button.

2
Make sure JavaScript is enabled

Work.ink relies on JavaScript to show the button. Check your browser settings and make sure JavaScript is not blocked.

3
Refresh and wait again

Sometimes the timer glitches. Refresh the page, let the timer run again, and the button should appear normally.

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.

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

"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.
