Installation¶
Minecraft (Windows, iOS, Android, console)¶
- Download
Soulglass_v<version>.mcaddonfrom the Releases page. - Open the file. Minecraft installs both packs automatically.
- Edit your world → Behavior Packs → activate Soulglass.
- Edit your world → Resource Packs → activate Soulglass.
Both packs are required
The resource pack carries the translation strings. With only the behavior
pack active, every message appears as a raw key such as
soulglass.hud.none.
Bedrock Dedicated Server¶
BDS does not read .mcaddon. Extract it and place each half by hand:
Finding the packs is automatic. Applying them is not.¶
On startup the server scans behavior_packs/ and resource_packs/, and writes
what it finds into valid_known_packs.json itself. Nothing needs adding to
that file — editing it by hand is a common piece of advice and it is wrong,
because the server rewrites it.
What discovery does not do is decide which packs a world uses. That lives with the world, so that two worlds on one server can run different packs, and it is declared here:
[
{ "pack_id": "b41d7a9c-3e26-4f80-95a7-1c8d0b6e2f43", "version": [1, 0, 0] }
]
[
{ "pack_id": "0c7a1e46-8b52-4d93-a1f7-26e0b9c4d385", "version": [1, 0, 0] }
]
<world> is the level-name from server.properties, and the pack_id
values are the header.uuid of each manifest — copied above so you do not have
to open them. If either file already exists, add the object to the list rather
than replacing the file.
Restart the server. The log should show [Soulglass] ready.
If your host does this for you
Panels and managed hosts commonly write these two files when you upload an add-on, which makes it look as though dropping the folders in was enough. It is worth checking the files exist before concluding the add-on is broken — a pack that is present but not applied loads no scripts at all, and the symptom is silence rather than an error.
Development install¶
A junction lets the game read straight from your clone, so an edit takes effect the next time you enter the world.
=== "Windows"
```powershell
$mojang = "$env:APPDATA\Minecraft Bedrock\Users\Shared\games\com.mojang"
New-Item -ItemType Junction `
-Path "$mojang\development_behavior_packs\soulglass" `
-Target "$PWD\behavior_packs\soulglass"
New-Item -ItemType Junction `
-Path "$mojang\development_resource_packs\soulglass" `
-Target "$PWD\resource_packs\soulglass"
```
=== "Linux (BDS)"
```bash
ln -s "$PWD/behavior_packs/soulglass" /path/to/bds/behavior_packs/soulglass
ln -s "$PWD/resource_packs/soulglass" /path/to/bds/resource_packs/soulglass
```
Path changed in 1.26
The Windows Store edition no longer stores data in
LocalState\games\com.mojang. It now lives under
%APPDATA%\Minecraft Bedrock\, with worlds separated per account profile.
Troubleshooting¶
The pack loads but nothing happens. Turn on Content Log GUI under Settings → Creator. Every event subscription is isolated, so a failure names itself in the log instead of silently killing the add-on.
Messages show as raw keys. The resource pack is not active.
/scriptevent says the command does not exist. Cheats are disabled in that
world. Using the guide does the same job without cheats.
