The Bedrock Essentials addon packs six popular utility mechanics into a single .mcaddon file for Minecraft Bedrock Edition: sneak-activated tree felling, sneak-activated ore vein mining, auto-opening double doors, anvil repair, a craftable flashlight, and automatic crop replanting. Creator Gao has kept it updated through Bedrock's current 26.x releases, and it sits at nearly 1.9 million downloads on CurseForge.
What Bedrock Essentials adds
- Tree Capitator: sneak while breaking the base log to fell the whole tree at once.
- Vein Miner: sneak while mining an ore block to break the connected vein in one action.
- Double doors open and close together when you interact with the bottom half of either door.
- Anvil repair combines two damaged tools or armor pieces into one repaired item.
- A flashlight item lights up dark areas and has had a survival crafting recipe since the 1.8 update.
- Auto replant puts a new crop back in the ground right after harvest.
- Death messages report the coordinates where you died.
- Auto pickup is off by default; toggle it with /pickup enable and /pickup disable.
- Mob spawners break and drop with Silk Touch instead of only shattering.
How to install Bedrock Essentials on Bedrock Edition
- 1.Download the .mcaddon file from the CurseForge project page.
- 2.Open the downloaded file. On a device with Minecraft Bedrock Edition installed, this normally imports both the behavior pack and the resource pack automatically.
- 3.If it does not import automatically, unzip the .mcaddon and copy the behavior pack and resource pack folders into %appdata%\Minecraft Bedrock\users\shared\games\com.mojang, inside behavior_packs and resource_packs.
- 4.Open your world settings, add Bedrock Essentials under both Behavior Packs and Resource Packs, then start or reload the world.
Supported Minecraft Bedrock versions
Bedrock Edition moved to year.drop version numbers (26.x) in early 2026, replacing the older 1.21.x style. The current Bedrock Essentials file lists compatibility across both numbering styles, from the last old-format releases through the newest 26.x drops.
- 1.21.130, 1.21.131, 1.21.132 (last old-format release line)
- 26.0, 26.0.02, 26.3, 26.10, 26.11, 26.12, 26.13, 26.20
Known issues and limits
Bedrock Essentials ships as one behavior pack, so its six mechanics come as a set. There is no option to enable just Tree Capitator without also getting Vein Miner, the flashlight, and the rest. The source page also does not document Realms or dedicated server behavior, so treat multiplayer use as unconfirmed until you have tested it on your own server.
Questions about Bedrock Essentials+.
5 questions
How do I install Bedrock Essentials on Minecraft Bedrock?
Download the .mcaddon file from the CurseForge project page and open it. On most devices Minecraft imports the behavior pack and resource pack automatically. If it does not, unzip the file and copy both pack folders into com.mojang, then enable Bedrock Essentials under Behavior Packs and Resource Packs in your world settings.
Does Bedrock Essentials include a tree capitator addon for Bedrock?
Yes. Sneaking while you break a tree's base log fells the entire tree in one action instead of chopping log by log. It works alongside the addon's other tools and does not need a separate download.
Does Bedrock Essentials include a vein miner addon for Bedrock?
Yes. Sneaking while mining an ore block breaks the whole connected vein at once, the same sneak-to-activate pattern the addon uses for Tree Capitator. Both features come from the same single .mcaddon file.
Which Minecraft Bedrock versions does Bedrock Essentials support?
The current file lists 1.21.130 through 1.21.132 from the last old-format releases, plus the year.drop versions 26.0, 26.0.02, 26.3, 26.10, 26.11, 26.12, 26.13, and 26.20. Check the CurseForge file list before installing on an unlisted version.
Is Bedrock Essentials safe to use on Bedrock Edition?
It is hosted on CurseForge and mirrored on MCPEDL under the same creator, Gao, with a real Discord community and genuine bug reports rather than a farmed listing. CurseForge lists no explicit license, so download only from the official project page rather than a random reupload.
