How to Install Minecraft Add-Ons on iPhone and iPad
Source-checked · About 10 minutes
Answer
Use Minecraft Marketplace Add-Ons for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, then activate the resource or behavior pack for a new or existing world. Java Edition mods and unofficial download-site packages are not the supported iPhone or iPad workflow.
Launch Minecraft and obtain the Add-On from Minecraft Marketplace while signed in to the gamertag that should own it. Minecraft describes Add-Ons as Marketplace content containing a resource pack, behavior pack, or both.
Select Play, then Create New World on the Worlds tab. On the Create from screen, choose Marketplace content or Create New World depending on the Add-On and world you intend to use.
3
Open the pack category
Open Resource Packs or Behavior Packs. Check the Add-On's Marketplace description when you are unsure which section it uses; some Add-Ons contain both types.
4
Activate the Add-On
On the Available tab, select the Add-On and choose Activate. Review any dependency or experimental-feature warning that Minecraft itself presents before continuing.
5
Create and test the world
Select Create, enter the world, and verify the expected blocks, items, mobs, recipes, or behavior. Test in a copy when the existing world matters because Add-Ons can change gameplay.
6
Add it to an existing world
From Play, tap the pencil icon for the world, open Resource Packs or Behavior Packs, choose the Add-On under Available, tap Activate, then select Play.
7
Manage Marketplace ownership
If the Add-On is missing, open Marketplace > My Library and confirm the displayed gamertag is the account used to obtain it before buying or downloading it again.

If it does not work
Update Minecraft before diagnosing a missing or incompatible Add-On, and use Marketplace > My Library to redownload owned content.
Minecraft recommends no more than three Add-Ons at once when performance or compatibility becomes a problem; deactivate packs one at a time in a test copy of the world.
