Minecraft Unveils “Add-Ons,” Bringing The Modding Experience to All Players

Minecraft has announced that a new form of downloadable content will be added to the Minecraft Marketplace in the form of “Add-Ons.” Add-Ons act as mods that will change the game’s look and behavior and will be available to all players on Bedrock starting on Feb. 20.
Unlike other Marketplace content such as the Star Wars pack, Add-Ons can be applied to already existing worlds to add variation to the gameplay. Add-Ons can add brand new custom blocks, items, recipes, and a myriad of other content that will only expand with time. For example, an Add-On might provide a gravestone to store a player’s items upon death. There can be new portals to link two spots in the overworld, and perhaps the addition of new pets and distinctive furniture to players’ bases. Add-Ons can be implemented into multiplayer worlds and realms, and only the world’s owner requires the Add-On.
