# Add Add-ons to your Bedrock Server!

**Downloading Your Server's World**

Before you can install add-ons into your existing Bedrock world, you'll need to download it locally from your server. Follow these steps:

1\. Access your control panel and **stop your server**.\
2\. Connect to your server files via **FTP**; we recommend using **Filezilla**.\
3\. Navigate to the */worlds/* folder.\
4\. Download the folder of your desired world.

**Installing Addons to Your Existing World**

After successfully downloading your server's world folder, you'll need to place it in your local world saves directory. Keep in mind that you won't be able to edit a Bedrock World in-game if the world folder's name contains special characters. Here's how to proceed:

1\. Press **Win + R** on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.\
2\. Enter the following file path in the Run window: *%localappdata%/Packages/Microsoft.MinecraftUWP\_8wekyb3d8bbwe/LocalState/games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds*\
3\. Place your server's world into this folder.\
4\. Launch **Minecraft Bedrock**, and go to your **Worlds page**.\
5\. Click the **Edit** button next to your newly downloaded world.\
6\. Select the **Behavior Packs** and **Resource Packs** button.\
7\. Under **My Packs**, activate your desired add-ons.

**Re-Uploading Your Server's Modified World**

Once you've finished installing add-ons to your world, you'll need to re-upload it to your server. Here's how to do it:

1\. Access your server files via **FTP**, preferably using **Filezilla**.\
2\. Navigate to the */worlds/* folder.\
3\. Rename your server's unmodified world folder (if needed).\
4\. Upload the modified version of your server's world folder.\
5\. Access your control panel and **start your server**.
