Transfer Addons for all platforms

under review

Addons can greatly improve your Minecraft experience, but the are not available on Xbox and nintendo switch. We need some kind of transfer system so we can enjoy addons on all platforms. Have like a mini cloud or something that can transfer addons between platforms. That’s just an idea, but having addons on all platforms would make playing Minecraft on all platforms a lot more fun.

    I've actually been looking for where to mention this. I believe this would be possible if OneDrive (Microsoft's multi platform cloud storage) was incorporated into Minecraft. Even if they don't add this with the ability to use addons, I would at least like my custom skin on Xbox.

    I came here just to look for this. An in game repository slimier to that of Beam.ng Drive is probably the best option. It is an ingame menu of different Mods and doing this with addons would be amazing!

    For all the functionality they are adding to Bedrock Add-ons, Java Edition *lacks* this ability to add in new entities, and I'm not clear why Add-ons are not a given in Java. Pretty much the same as why I'm not clear why Data Packs are not on Bedrock, given how useful each is to the one platform they are on.

    I love the idea of adding entities in an addon, and im practically bursting with ideas. the only issue is that I play mostly on the switch, and theres no good way that I know of to transfer custom addons over from my computer. If Mojang or Microsoft incorporated some way for two devices under the same account to "talk" to each other to transfer addons, it would be so helpful.

    I own both the java version and xbox version, but for my computer, I am unable to use the java version, slows my computer too much. I have seen some awesome addons for java, but need a tool to convert them to mcpack files. Perhaps just having a tool to do that work work?

    I bought a few Add.ons on PS3 and then they stopped the support for it. Now I can't use them on PS3 and it would be more better if I could use them on PC, too.

    I don’t understand why this can’t be done easily i mean they already save things that you buy at the store across devices, so i fail to see why they can’t save them to you account so you can access them from other devices like the switch.

    We need something simmilar to Bethesda.net or the Steam workshop! I think it would be amazing to have an easy way for creators and consumers to upload and download mods or "addons" I hope Microsoft and Mojang are listening! ;p

    I agree. I want to buy template for my son. Of course, I can add money to son's account. But minimum 50 PLN and I want to add only 23 PLN. There is no possibility to pay for only this one template.

    We need to vote this up, I have a Iphone that can't get 1.12 Beta but my xbox can. In my opinion all of the good addons are starting to be on 1.12.

    Actually, by utilizing a few programs and the File Explorer on the Xbox One, i am able to install addons perfectly fine.

    I TOTALLY agree I really want a custom skin on my Xbox and I want faithful  without having to buy on the store. There’s a way to do it but you can only do it on Xbox and it’s kinda hard. You also need ufo transfer, file downloader, Microsoft edge, you can only get them from one website. They should really add this. My idea is they could add a official mod, texture pack and addon app to download that would be $3.99 to buy but the addons would be free to download and use. To summarize, yes it’s a good idea!
