Minecraft Update 26.2 (Java Edition) "Chaos Cubed" is officially live!

This release completely reloads the underground with the toxic Sulfur Caves biome, packing volatile geysers, lethal falling stalactites, and gorgeous new Cinnabar building blocks.

The Sulfur Cube - a wild new mob that literally eats blocks, acquires their physics (like bouncy wood or explosive TNT), and can be launched or trapped for insane new minigames. Plus, Mojang added performance boost with experimental Vulkan Graphics API support and a brand-new In-Game Friends List UI to make multiplayer squad-ups seamless.

How to Install / Upgrade:
To update your server, just head on to Installer and Modpacks section of the control panel and look for: Minecraft Vanilla v26.2. Click Install and then click "Update existing" to upgrade your existing server profile - this will upgrade your existing world so you can get going right away. Or you can do a new installation to start with a fresh new world and settings (You can always go back to your old server installations from Server Profiles section)

How to Install Bedrock Add-ons using the STIPE Control Panel

STIPE provides a built-in Bedrock Addons Manager that allows you to upload, install, remove and organise Minecraft Bedrock add-ons directly from your control panel.

You can upload standard Bedrock .mcaddon and .mcpack files without needing to use FTP or the File Manager.

Quick Summary

• Stop your Bedrock server.
• Download the required .mcaddon or .mcpack files.
• Upload them using Drag & Drop or Browse Files.
• Upload both Behavior and Resource Packs when the creator provides both.
• Check that the add-on shows as installed.
• Adjust the load order if required.
• Click Save Load Order.
• Start the server and test the add-on.

1. Before you begin

For the easiest installation, we recommend stopping your Minecraft Bedrock server before uploading the add-on.

If your server is stopped when the file is uploaded, STIPE will automatically attempt to install the add-on for you.

If your server is currently running, you can still upload the file. After uploading:

• Stop the server
• Return to the Bedrock Addons Manager
• Click Install next to the uploaded add-on

2. Finding Bedrock add-ons

The Bedrock Addons Manager supports downloadable add-ons supplied as:

• .mcaddon
• .mcpack

Some websites that provide downloadable Bedrock add-ons include:

CurseForge Bedrock Add-ons

MCPEDL

ModBay

Important:

These are third-party websites and are not affiliated with or operated by STIPE. STIPE does not control the files or content hosted on these websites.

Please take care when downloading files and only download content from sources you trust.

3. Marketplace add-ons

Minecraft Marketplace purchases are different from normal downloadable Bedrock add-ons.

Marketplace content is licensed and managed through Minecraft and will not normally provide a standalone .mcaddon or .mcpack file that can be uploaded to a Bedrock Dedicated Server.

The STIPE uploader is intended for downloadable Bedrock add-ons where the creator provides the actual .mcaddon or .mcpack files.

4. Open the Bedrock Addons Manager

From your STIPE control panel:

• Select your Minecraft Bedrock server.
• Open the server settings.
• Navigate to the Bedrock Addons Manager.

You will see an upload area similar to:

Drag & drop Bedrock add-ons here

You can either:

• Drag a .mcaddon or .mcpack file from your computer into the upload box, or
• Click Browse Files and select the file from your computer.

The maximum supported upload size is currently 512 MB per file.

5. Behavior Packs and Resource Packs

Important:

Some Bedrock add-ons contain both:

• A Behavior Pack
• A Resource Pack

Sometimes these are bundled together inside one .mcaddon file.

Other add-ons provide them as two separate files.

If the creator provides separate Behavior Pack and Resource Pack files, make sure you upload both.

The add-on may not work correctly if only one of the required packs is installed.

For example, you may receive:

MyAddon\_Behavior.mcpack
MyAddon\_Resources.mcpack

In this situation, upload both files.

6. Installing an uploaded add-on

After uploading, the add-on will appear in the Bedrock Addons Manager.

If the server was stopped during the upload, STIPE will automatically attempt to install the add-on.

If the server was running, the file will be uploaded but will not be activated automatically.

To install it:

• Stop your Minecraft server.
• Open the Bedrock Addons Manager again.
• Find the uploaded add-on.
• Click Install.

Once installed, the status shown beside the add-on will change accordingly.

7. Changing add-on load order

Some Bedrock add-ons need to load before or after other packs.

The Bedrock Addons Manager allows you to change the load order directly from the control panel.

Change the order number beside each add-on and then click:

Save Load Order

The lowest numbers are loaded earlier in the list.

You may also see information such as:

B:1
R:2

B refers to the Behavior Pack position.

R refers to the Resource Pack position.

These can differ because Bedrock maintains separate Behavior Pack and Resource Pack lists.

After changing the order, click Save Load Order before starting your server.

8. Removing an uploaded add-on file

If you uploaded the wrong file and the add-on has not been installed, you can remove it using the Delete button.

For safety, the Delete option is only available for packs that are not currently installed.

If an add-on is already installed, uninstall or remove it appropriately before deleting its source file.

9. Start your server

Once the required add-ons have been installed and the load order has been saved:

• Start your Minecraft Bedrock server.
• Wait for the server to fully load.
• Connect to the server and test the add-on.

Some add-ons may require additional configuration or specific Minecraft versions. Always read the installation instructions supplied by the add-on creator.

Troubleshooting

The add-on uploads but does not work

Check whether the creator supplied both a Behavior Pack and Resource Pack. If they did, make sure both files have been uploaded and installed.

There is an Install button beside the file

This normally means the file has been uploaded but has not yet been activated. Stop the server and click Install.

The add-on was purchased from the Minecraft Marketplace

Marketplace content generally cannot be uploaded using this system unless the creator separately provides a standard .mcaddon or .mcpack version intended for dedicated servers.

The add-on requires a particular Minecraft version

Check the creator's download page and make sure the add-on supports the version of Minecraft Bedrock currently installed on your server.

The add-on still does not work

Check the creator's documentation first. If you are still having trouble, please contact STIPE Support and let us know the name of the add-on and where you downloaded it from.

World settings are stored in a different folder compared to the main server settings
server
|-----> config.json (for server general settings)
|-----> universe ----> worlds ----> <world name> ---> config.json (For world settings)

So to change settings like enabling PVP you need to go to the world settings config.

By default, your world is called default

How to modify world settings:
1) Go to File Manager in your Control Panel
2) Go to universe folder
3) Go to worlds folder
4) Go to default folder (or the world you want to edit)
5) Right-click the config.json file and click Edit

Examples of settings you can change

IsPvpEnabled - Allow player vs player combat (false for off, true for on)
IsFallDamageEnabled - Players take fall damage

GameMode - Default game mode for this world (Once a player has already joined, changing this setting won't take affect on them)

Available game modes:
Adventure - Standard survival gameplay
Creative - Building mode with unlimited resources
