Console mods/Mods on Console

under review

I think this is something that everyone on console wants. So first you gave us the ability to play servers on console now it is time for the next step. Add mods. I am sure I am not the only one who has basically stopped playing the game almost completely. The only reason I stopped is the fact that once you beat all the bosses there is nothing to do. Sure you can fight them again but that isn't something you want to do five times. If mods were included it would give players the ability to play more than just the same thing every time they get on. Players have been asking for this for years now and it still hasn't happened. The technology is there, I mean Bethesda did it with skyrim and fallout so why can't you. Minecraft is a sandbox type of game, so imagine the possibilities, they would be endless. So with that said why is this not a thing? If you want to make your game as popular as it was two years ago it would be a good idea to consider this.

    We're going to keep this civil and constructive, or we're going to lock the thread. It's pretty simple. 

    And on topic.

    Much appreciations,

    your friendly admin

    Mods are not controlled by Mojang, you install a 3rd party installer (like forge)

    Lets face the facts, Microsoft would never allow an official Minecraft mod API.

    I know it’s hard to do but Minecraft would be so much better. New ways to play and things to do. Definitely increase amount of players.

    mods for console would be the best but it would need a mod menu like what they have now for maps and stuff but for different mod i think it would be a big thing

    I agree with you on mods. Minecraft should have a mod menu kind of like bestheda does. People who create the mods have to sign an agreement to keep the mods family friendly. I think. Microsoft could do it.

    there are already ways to get mods just takes a bit of practice and 3rd party apps, Dakonblackrose on youtube has tutorials on the steps and process of how to install skins, mods, and worlds without a computer or USB.

    I would love that. I'm looking forward to playing Tango Tek's villager upgrade mod when it is released. They should make a way to get mods from java and other versions to the console edition, so we can play Java etc mods. Also, Mojang should make a console app that allows console players to make mods for Minecraft PS4, XBox etc. It would allow people to easily make them (even if they haven't done it before) and add it to your game. Hope Mojang adds this idea too :) 

    Also, others have been saying "Mojang doesn't control mods. You install another 3rd party installer....blah blah blah" (and no offence people who comment that. I'm sorry :D). Well, that doesn't mean Mojang and 4J can't make it happen somehow. And sninjago, Forge isn't for consoles, it's for java/windows 10 (computer versions like that).

    Minecraft has somewhat of a communistic relationship with mods(Not trying to hate on minecraft). Minecraft would never give us an offical *unrestricted* modding api like forge has. If its practial to add suport for, forge will add suport for it to their api. MC has already started moving in the direction of an enclosed modding api. AKA Adons, you can edit the game but only barley only the amount that MC wants you to.

    I'm mean I like playing Minecraft Vanilla style but.... (major gasp for the drama) I would love to have Mods installed for Console. With all the new weapons, armor, tools, and mobs, OMG the mobs! Just seeing what other people created on console would change my gaming life forever(in Minecraft)! Mojang I hope you're taking notes my friendz!

    Also you people realise that JAVA VERSION IS MADE IN JAVA AND BEDROCK VERSION IS MADE IN C++. Meaning that any mod in existance (pretty much, except for the terrible Pocket Editions mods...) will not EVER run on Bedrock. C++ is a completely different language to Java:
    Example - C++ Print Command - cout << "Hello World";

    Java Print Command - System.out.println("Hello World");

    (The ; (semicolons) are part of the programming language)

    You see the difference?
