Summary
One of the main arguments in Java vs. Bedrock wars (which came before Mojang started distributing both copies to anyone who bought either) was that Java was far more customizable than Bedrock. But now, Bedrock has gained a new level of customization with its robust community-made skins as well as add-ons that can modify the behaviors and content of your game.
If you thinkMinecraftBedrock’s add-ons are all simple crafting recipes or behavior changes for vanilla resources, you have another thing coming; the add-on community for Bedrock has put in a great amount of work to make compelling modifications that can be just as game-changing or immersive as modifications in Minecraft Java.
Updated July 18, 2025, by William Quick:Of all the kinds of Minecraft that exist, the Bedrock Edition is arguably the most well-known due to how adaptable it is. This edition has appeared on multiple platforms and consoles so that more people can get easy access to the blocky universe. Because of that, a lot of modders try to add their own touches to change it even more or make it more efficient. Check out some of these add-ons to add more to your Minecraft Bedrock experience.
18Skill Book
Minecraft has a lot in its universe, but the actual beings roaming around it don’t have as many powers and abilities as they could have. There’s magic, crafting, and tools to take advantage of the possibility and show off your creativity. As such, we need mods to help us build on what could be.
Thus, we arrive at theSkill Bookdrafted byfieryabyss, which is yours to read on the bedrock. Adding this text to the game gives you over 14 new skills to learn for both combat and movement. You can use stealth to sneak up on enemies or other players while double-jumping over all the block-based obstacles and terrain.
17AdvancementPack
Advancing The UI Pack
The word “advance” used to have so much power behind it, and while it still draws our attention, it doesn’t have the same impact anymore. It’s all about how we use this word to enhance what we’re working on. Whether it’s a game sequel, a portable game console, or a mod for Minecraft Bedrock.
you’re able to see howr4isen1920is trying to do this with theAdvancement Pack. The biggest thing it does is bring Java elements to this version of the game, including those nice informative pop-ups telling us all the cool things that are happening and what we’re doing. It even gives you a convenient Logbook to track your progress.
16Security Protection Blocks
Block Out Danger
A few minutes into the world of Minecraft will show you just how dangerous the environment and all the mobs wandering around it can be. There are some things you can do to protect yourself, such as digging a hole and hiding in it or building a simple box and hiding in it. There are more advanced options and mods to help out with that.
By using theSecurity Protection Blocksadd-on byRealtern, you can do more to protect what belongs to you and your allies. It introduces a Friend System to bring your friends to certain areas marked by your protection blocks. Then you can have practical defenses like Locked Doors and classic villain stuff like Trapdoors to really show that you’re serious.
15More Simple Structures
Simplifying Construction
Finding structures is one of the most satisfying parts of the Minecraft experience; nothing can compare to the feeling of discovering a mine shaft after a long day of exploring dank caves. But if you’ve played enough Minecraft to have seen it all,More Simple StructuresbyiKorbonis a great way to shake things up.
This add-on introduces not only a cavalcade of new structures but also mobs, foods, and even functional block types. All this content is made to feel as vanilla as possible, increasing the variety of locations in the world without changing the core gameplay too much.
14Portal Gun
Thinking With Portals
ThePortal Gunadd-on byAmon28shows off just how robust Minecraft Bedrock’s custom content can get, boasting recreations of items and structures from the Portal universe that simultaneously match Minecraft’s style without losing the spirit of the original designs.
The crowning achievement of this add-on is the item for which it’s named; the Portal Gun is fully functional, coming in different flavors that change the color and style of the portal shot. With all the structures included in the pack, you can build entrances to your base, systems to hide your most valuable possessions, or custom testing chambers that require the Portal Gun to complete.
13Waypoints
The Point Of Finding Your Way
The expansiveness of Minecraft’s sandbox is something that’s generally hit or miss: though many enjoy the added challenge of navigating the world with limited information, some get overwhelmed by how easily they can get lost. If you have trouble traveling more than a few feet from your base, theWaypointsadd-on byO CHETTY Ois here to save you.
Waypoints are accessed through a crafted book, which is made of complex materials to avoid ruining the early-game progression — you still need to work to some extent if you want the right to mark locations and teleport, but once you do, you can focus more on the process and less on getting lost.
12Furnicraft 3D Block
Crafting Furniture In 3D
Furniture is one of the features that the Minecraft developers have said they’re never adding, meaning if you want custom furniture, your only hope is in modifications. Thankfully,ROBERTGAMER69has introduced theFurnicraft 3D Blockadd-on so that you never have to go without it.
The add-on includes an avalanche of seating elements, light sources, and decorations that can make any house, town, or country you build look classy and interesting. There’s even a crafting table you can make to bring these designs to survival, as easy as pumpkin pie.
11More Tools
Filling Out The Garage
Are you getting tired of the six standard tool types? Do you think it makes no sense that copper can’t be shaped into tools? Do you wish for a new wave of materials to fill the Minecraft caves? ThenMore ToolsbySorYPModis for you. This add-on includes hundreds of new tools that feel as though they were plucked straight out of an upcoming update.
The new tool types introduce weapons that are more powerful than the sword, like the hammer or battleaxe, which will complete your appearance while putting numbers on your enemies. Additionally, this add-on gives you brand-new types of armor for all the new materials, giving you more options when preparing foryour fight with the Warden.
10Serp Pokedrock
Building Up Pokemon
If you’ve ever felt like you were missing out on Java’s Pixelmon, then fear no more:Zacek el Serpentínhas got you covered with theSerp Pokedrockadd-on, bringing Pokemon and Pokemon-themed buildings to your newest world. They’ve even added Professor Oak to get you started on your brand-new Pokemon adventure.
But don’t think this all stops at just the pocket monsters; this add-on has NPCs as well. Team Rocket will be prowling the world in search of a fight, so prepare your best team and give it a shot. They’ve further included a new role for the nitwit villager, who will trade combat badges and coins for useful items.
9Vampire Craft - Thirst For Blood
Blood-Type B… Stands For Block
Vampire Craft - Thirst For Bloodbypedro_denovoZis an add-on that introduces the powerful vampire and werewolf transformations, allowing you to use their respective abilities in your quest to survive and beat the Ender Dragon. Though there are some polishing issues, the overall package is extremely compelling thanks to the numerous abilities and features included to shake up your life as a nocturnal bloodsucker.
Throughout progression, you can unlock abilities through bottles of blood and specific items dropped by rare mobs. You might stumble around burning in the sunlight at first, but you’ll end up the lord of all vampires when all is said and done.
