Installing Minecraft Bedrock Behavior Packs on Imperium Hosting

Customizing your Minecraft Bedrock server with Behavior Packs unlocks exciting new features like unique mobs, custom game modes, and more. At Imperium Hosting, we’ve made it possible to install and manage these packs easily using our TCAdmin V2 control panel. This guide will walk you through the full process of uploading, configuring, and activating Behavior Packs on your server.

What Are Behavior Packs?

Behavior Packs modify gameplay elements in Bedrock Edition and function similarly to mods or plugins. They are typically bundled as .mcpack or .mcaddon files and often come with a corresponding resource pack.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparation

1. Download a Behavior Pack
   Use trusted sources like CurseForge to download a .mcpack or .mcaddon.

2. Convert to ZIP

   • Right-click the file and rename the extension to .zip.

   • Extract the contents using 7-Zip or WinRAR.

3. Extract Needed Folders

   • Locate and extract both the behavior and resource folders from the ZIP file.

   • Open manifest.json inside the behavior folder. Copy the pack_id (UUID) and version values and save them somewhere (you’ll need these later).

Step 2: Upload Files via TCAdmin

1. Stop Your Server
   Log in to the Imperium Hosting control panel and stop your Bedrock server.

2. Access File Manager (FTP)

   • Click on File Manager in TCAdmin or use FTP File Access.

   • Navigate to /behavior_packs/ and upload your extracted behavior folder.

   • Do the same in /resource_packs/ for your resource folder.

    

Step 3: Activate Packs

1. Navigate to Your World Folder
   Inside /worlds/yourworldname/, create two files:

   • world_behavior_packs.json

   • world_resource_packs.json

2. Paste This Into Each File:

   [
     {
       "pack_id": "your-copied-uuid",
       "version": [1, 0, 0]
     }
   ]
   

   Replace pack_id and version with values from your manifest.json.

3. For Multiple Packs:
   Add additional blocks inside the same JSON array:

   [
     {
       "pack_id": "uuid1",
       "version": [1, 0, 0]
     },
     {
       "pack_id": "uuid2",
       "version": [2, 1, 3]
     }
   ]
   

Step 4: Restart Your Server

Return to your TCAdmin control panel and click Start. Your server will now load the behavior packs along with any linked resource packs.

Additional Tips

• Want to Use a Singleplayer World?

  • Activate your packs in singleplayer.

  • Export the world as .mcworld, rename to .zip, and upload via FTP to /worlds/.

  • Unzip it and set the new folder name in your control panel's world config.

• Can't Upload via TCAdmin?
  Use FileZilla with your FTP credentials provided in the control panel.

Troubleshooting

Behavior Packs Not Loading?

• Confirm UUID/version in world_behavior_packs.json are correct.

• Make sure the folders were uploaded to the correct directories.

• Ensure files are unzipped and named properly.

FTP Login Issues?

• Double-check your credentials.

• Try resetting the FTP password in TCAdmin.

World Not Found?

• Verify the folder name matches what you selected in the TCAdmin panel’s world section.

• Restart your Bedrock client if testing locally.
