Minecraft has announced the addition of a mod system for the Bedrock Edition, closing the gap of the era where mods were exclusive to the Java Edition, marking a significant difference between the two editions.
The mod system has been around since the early days of Minecraft, specifically in the Java Edition, where users had to manually install mods and tinker with game files. However, with the release of the more modern Bedrock Edition client, players were unable to install mods in the same way as the Java Edition, leading many players to continue using Java Edition if they wanted to play with mods.
This issue has been a longstanding problem and a highly requested feature from players. Most recently, Mojang Studios introduced add-ons that can be easily installed through the Minecraft Marketplace, eliminating the need to fiddle with game files. Furthermore, these add-ons can be played on all Bedrock platforms (PC, mobile, console).
Currently, there are 11 mods available from various partners, including both free and paid options. You can check out the list on the Minecraft Marketplace.
TLDR: Minecraft has introduced a mod system for the Bedrock Edition, bridging the gap with the Java Edition and allowing for easier installation of add-ons through the Minecraft Marketplace.
