New technical content and tutorials for creators!

There are so many ways to create with Minecraft – ranging from new worlds and mobs to entirely new gaming experiences. For more advanced builds, the details can get really in-depth and technical, and having a base of documentation and tutorials can be helpful. To support this, we’re adding more technical documentation around Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Add-On packs over at https://docs.microsoft.com/minecraft/creator/.  

Here, you’ll see a range of topics from how to start building new resource packs up through building advanced GameTests. We’re starting small but expect to build a bigger collection of docs and details over time. 

You can dive in today! Check out new tutorials and documentation on how to create custom Add-Ons for Bedrock, including some of the basics and some that take advantage of new experimental features:

Create your first resource pack – Add in a custom texture for standard Minecraft blocks, like dirt.

Mod the Minecraft mobs – Change the behaviors of built-in mobs – here, a cow that attacks players.

Test out your content – Use the new experimental GameTest Framework to build validation cases for Minecraft and your creations.

Build new blocks – With another new experimental feature, use custom block types to add new types of materials in the world.

To complement all the amazing work done by our community, we're periodically going to add more and more tips on how you can build Add-Ons for Minecraft. You can get started today by stopping by our new Creator tech documentation pages – and stay tuned for more content to come!
