What Topics and Tutorials Does Bedrock Wiki Cover?

Updated

Bedrock Wiki (wiki.bedrock.dev) is a community-maintained knowledge-sharing site for technical Minecraft Bedrock features. It hosts documentation, tutorials, and how-to information organized into topic sections, each typically pairing a beginner's guide with deeper reference material. If you are starting add-on development or looking for a specific technical topic, the sections below are where to look.

Beginner's Guide

The site's entry point is a collection of step-by-step tutorials intended as your first contact with add-ons. It covers how to set up your own project and get started developing. Start here if you have never built an add-on before.

Topic Sections

Each section below generally follows the same pattern: a beginner's guide to get you working, followed by component or API documentation for more advanced use.

Section What it covers
Commands Command block basics, plus functions as a faster and more powerful way to code commands
Blocks A "Hello world!" guide to creating your first block, and block components such as collision
Entities The structure of behavior pack entity files, and troubleshooting common issues like invisible textures
Items A "Hello world!" guide to creating your first item, and item components such as durability
Scripting Basics of the Script APIs Minecraft offers, and how to use scripting to create custom commands
World Generation Creating custom structures, ores, trees, and other generation features

How to Choose Where to Start

  • New to add-ons entirely: Begin with the Beginner's Guide, then move into the topic section matching what you want to build.
  • Want to build a specific thing: Jump straight to that section's beginner's guide (Blocks, Entities, Items, or World Generation), then read its component documentation.
  • Working with commands: Start with the Commands section; functions are presented as the more capable alternative to command blocks.
  • Writing code rather than data: Go to Scripting, which also covers creating your own commands.
  • Debugging something broken: The Entities section includes a troubleshooting guide for common problems.

Getting Help and Contributing

The wiki is built and maintained by a community. It offers a Discord server where you can learn about add-ons and seek help from other add-on creators, and it invites contributions if you want to improve the wiki or give feedback. A repository is also linked for those who want to contribute directly.
