Hello guys this is spider-rock and today i have kind of a big issue to bring up and that’s the issue of minecraft add-ons being kind of banned on xbox i mean it’s kind of like you can still get them and that’s basically what i’m going to show you how to do today on All pretty much all platforms especially xbox playstation and nintendo switch there’s still a way to get and play add-ons however the reason i want to make this video is because of this issue which has been happening and i’ll leave a video in the description which goes Into this issue more in depth it’s a pretty good video but anyway i signed this petition and i really want you guys to too because the mcn on manager program the one that pretty much everybody uses or at least used at one point to get add-ons on xbox has kind of Been like quote-unquote banned that’s what i’m calling it because microsoft keeps keeps taking steps to like prevent this app from working and prevent people from getting add-ons and so there’s this change.org petition i don’t know if it’ll do anything but it’s still worth signing and there’s a link In the description but i have basically like four other ways um and one of which i’m gonna fully show you how to do um to get add-ons on your console especially xbox but all consoles it should be fairly similar but microsoft edge and like file access has all been restricted So it’s a little disappointing so you can use this method um and you should hopefully it should hopefully work for you so something i’d like to note is there’s a couple methods you can use to do this you’re gonna mainly though need a cell phone um with minecraft on it or A computer with minecraft on it um or a friend who has minecraft on a phone or computer um just access to one of those things you know maybe you have a phone with minecraft but you want to play add-ons on your xbox um or just play minecraft on xbox instead because It’s generally a better better experience um you’re going to need to have some form of device and that’s kind of the thing here so the first thing you’re one going to want to do is go onto your phone and make a new world or your device or have your friend do this And make a new world with um with your add-ons on it and make sure to have on all experimental features um because you know that’s that’s important for add-ons i mean you can activate sheets if you want now there’s not one key thing to this i mean Of course other than you know you need to have your add-on on the world itself But you’re going to want to go into the multiplayer section and make sure visible to land players is on that is if you’re hosting this from your phone basically how this is working is you’re having minecraft open on your phone or other device and you will join that World from your console now this isn’t the best option but if you have a you know a not so great computer that can’t really run minecraft too well or you have a phone that you know you maybe don’t want to play on you’d rather just play on your your actual console you Know on your tv or whatever this is this is gonna be how you’re gonna have to do it alternatively you can join your friend if they have minecraft open and a world open with an add-on on it so for those of you on xbox or on any console i’m gonna kind of show You everything that you need to do here so once you have the world open or your friend has their world open you’re going to want to hit play and then you’re going to want to go over to the friends tab now i’m doing this on xbox but you Should be able to do this on pretty much anything and if you’re playing if you’re hosting this from a device you should see a little lan thing and you hit that and then when it prompts you to download packs hit download packs now this does take a little while At least it took a little while for me because i have my insanity on this world and it’s a pretty pretty sizable add-on most add-ons shouldn’t take as long but as long as you can get to here and you’ve got minecraft open on a phone or Other device or you know a friend’s game you should be good and you can just kind of set it off to the side and let it do its thing and you should be able to join i don’t think most devices will like turn off if you uh If you have a game open or something but if they do or if they you think it’ll run out of battery you might want to keep it plugged in especially if it’s a laptop or a phone you could do this with a tablet too you can really do it with whatever um that Can have minecraft on it i’m assuming most you if you have an xbox or playstation or nintendo switch you probably have a mobile device that you can run minecraft add-ons on so as you can see it does work you can join the world which has add-ons on it and as you Can see this has my insanity on it and you can use this like any other like you like you’re hosting it on your xbox or other console itself i know this isn’t as good as like actually being able to um actually being able to you know run an add-on on your device And there are still programs out there there’s one that’s like three dollars or something if you want to spend that you can i think i don’t know if it’ll work i don’t know how long it will work for because it seems like microsoft is trying to crack down on this Being able to be done and being able to join like play add-ons on console that aren’t directly from the microsoft store so you can kind of use this as a workaround now another option if you choose to do it is realms you can join realms with add-ons on them for example I am in this realm and i’m going to go ahead and join it on my computer of course you can do this on a console and you should be able to play on realms because i think there’s someone who regularly plays on this realm who’s on a Console i believe um but you can join realms on console um you know on your nintendo switch on your ps4 or of course on your xbox and you can have add-ons on the realms now the thing is you’re gonna have to kind of have a device or have know Someone who has a device um that has minecraft on it you are gonna have to pay for a realm as well but you can put allens on a realm and you can join them from consoles so that’s kind of a way that you can play add-ons on um on Console you can also do the same for servers as well so if there’s a server that you um that you know has add-ons on it or if you want to get a server which this is why i’m going to shout out wither hosting if you use code spy 15 on Wither hosting you will get 15 off especially if you use the link in the description that will support me so i would appreciate if you did that’s a really affordable way to have add-ons on your on your world if you can download a world and use something like weather Hosting on a device you can even i mean you could even like find a world probably with or like a custom map with an add-on on it and then upload that to like wither hosting and then using that you could like from say a chromebook or A mac laptop even you could run a server like you could run a server on with their hosting like on the web um it’ll they’ll handle like all the important server things and as long as you kind of know what you’re doing you can get a server up with an Add-on on it or with multiple add-ons on it or with a whole add-on pack on it although that might lag a little bit just because of the nature of the add-on pack it’ll lag on anything probably so for that you don’t even need a another copy of minecraft all you would need is A map or world download um and then of course a subscription to a server hosting service where they’re hosting is um very affordable and has really high quality stuff there they have like integra enterprise grade cpus i used it for a for my server i still use it for my Server and it’s i’ve been very happy with it i did try to put an add-on pack on a server and it didn’t go too too hot so i’d suggest that for smaller add-ons you should probably be fine or if you’re playing by yourself or with one or two People you’ll also be fine it was only had like 10 people on the world that it started to become an issue so for most of you guys that should not be an issue anyway thanks for watching if you made to hear i hope somewhere in this video You found some form of solution to being able to play add-ons on console the other thing i could just suggest is just be patient because i know microsoft is trying to crack down on this um for xbox users however i think oh i’m in i’m In some of this funny snow i i think you should be probably fine eventually like i think i have hopes i have high hopes that if you sign this petition that i have linked in the description if you watch the video that i also have link in the description then You could probably make some form of change so i would really appreciate it if you guys did sign that petition and then of course subscribe and whatever like i like i should probably normally say as a youtuber anyway thanks for watching see you guys later and bye you Video Information
