Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change the Server Owner?

Changing the server owner is a two-step process that requires editing a file and then running a command in-game.

  1. Edit the Config File:

    • Stop your server.
    • Open the file AddonExeBP/scripts/config.js.
    • Find the ownerPlayerNames array and replace the name(s) with the new owner's exact in-game name.
    • Save the file and start your server.

  2. Reload the Config In-Game:

    • Once the server is online, have an admin or operator run the command /xreload.
    • This will sync the change from the file, and the new owner will receive their rank.

For more details, see the Configuration Guide.

How do I make someone an admin?

There are a few ways to grant admin permissions, with different results:

  • Recommended Method (Instant Permissions): Use the in-game command if you are already an admin:

    • /admin add <target: player>
    • This will give the player the admin tag and update their permissions immediately.

  • Operator Method (Instant Permissions): If you have operator permissions but not the admin rank yet, you can grant it to yourself with:

    • /function admin
    • This will give you the admin tag and update your permissions immediately.

  • Alternative Method (Delayed Permissions): Use the vanilla /tag command:

    • /tag "<playerName>" add admin
    • Important: If you use this method on an online player, their permissions will not update until they rejoin the server.

How do I install AddonExe?

For the best experience, especially for server owners who need to configure the addon, we recommend a manual installation. This ensures you can easily access the configuration files.

  1. Download the Addon:

  2. Extract the Packs:

    • Do not open the .mcaddon file directly. Instead, rename it to end in .zip (e.g., AddonExe.mcaddon -> AddonExe.zip).
    • Unzip the file. You will find two folders inside: AddonExeBP (the Behavior Pack) and AddonExeRP (the Resource Pack).

  3. Move the Packs to Minecraft:

    • You need to find your Minecraft's com.mojang folder. The location varies by device:
      • Windows: C:\\Users\\<YourUsername>\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalState\\games\\com.mojang
      • Android: /Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe/files/games/com.mojang/
      • iOS: The On My iPad/iPhone/iPod > Minecraft > games > com.mojang folder inside the Files app.
    • Move the AddonExeBP folder into the behavior_packs folder.
    • Move the AddonExeRP folder into the resource_packs folder.
    • If these folders don't exist, you can create them.

  4. Apply in Your World:

    • Open Minecraft and go to the settings of the world you want to add AddonExe to.
    • Under "Behavior Packs", activate AddonExeBP.
    • Under "Resource Packs", activate AddonExeRP.
    • Make sure the Behavior Pack is at the top of the list to ensure it works correctly.

  5. Enable Required Game Settings:

    • In your world settings, under the "Game" section, ensure "Activate Cheats" is turned ON.
    • Under the "Experiments" section, toggle "Beta APIs" to ON.
    • The addon will not work without these settings.

After these steps, the addon should be installed and ready to configure!

For Bedrock Dedicated Server (BDS)

Installing on a Bedrock Dedicated Server is slightly different, as you manually manage the world files.

  1. Place the Pack Folders:

    • After extracting the AddonExeBP and AddonExeRP folders, move them into your BDS's main directory.
    • AddonExeBP goes into the behavior_packs folder.
    • AddonExeRP goes into the resource_packs folder.

  2. Activate the Packs:

    • You need to tell the server to use the addon's packs. To do this, download the following two files from the root of the repository:
    • Place both of these files into the root folder of your world (the same folder that contains your level.dat).
    • The server will read these files on startup and automatically activate the required packs for that world. The version [0,1,0] in these files should be updated whenever you update the addon

  3. Enable Beta APIs for BDS:

    • AddonExe requires the "Beta APIs" experimental feature to be enabled. This can be tricky on BDS. You have two main options:
      • Easy Method (Recommended): Download your world folder from the server. Open the world in a local version of Minecraft (on PC or mobile), go into the world settings, and enable the "Beta APIs" toggle under "Experiments". Then, re-upload the modified world folder to your server.
      • Advanced Method: Use an NBT editor (like NBTStudio) to manually edit your world's level.dat file. You need to find the experiments tag and add a tag named gametest with a value of 1 (byte). This method is powerful but can corrupt your world if done incorrectly.
