.mcpack installation

Download the .mcpack mod file (or files) via Safari or another browser.

Then open the Files application, go to the Download Folder (Downloads) and click the Add-on file to launch it via Minecraft.

Mod activation

To activate the Minecraft mod on iOS or iPadOS, you need to go to the World Editing mode and edit the current world or create a new one.
Many Add-ons require Experimental Features to be enabled. Please do that for the Add-on to function correctly.

Go to the Behavior Packs tab, find the Add-on and activate it.
