# Install behavior and resource packs

> Install Minecraft Bedrock add-ons from Purpify's catalog or upload add-ons from your device.

Use Purpify's Bedrock add-on installer to add behavior and resource packs to your server. The installer places and activates the required pack files for you.

## Before you begin

* Confirm that the add-on supports your server's Minecraft version.
* Read the add-on author's requirements and dependency list.
* Create a [server backup](/server/backups).
* Test one new add-on at a time.

<Warning>
  Add-ons can change world data. Removing an add-on later may not reverse those changes.
</Warning>

## Diagnose an add-on problem

| Symptom                         | Likely cause                                           | What to check                                                                          |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Add-on does not work            | The add-on is not compatible                           | Confirm that it supports the server's Minecraft version.                               |
| Missing dependency error        | A required add-on is absent                            | Install every dependency named by the add-on author.                                   |
| Server fails after installation | The add-on is invalid or conflicts with another add-on | Restore the backup, then install add-ons one at a time.                                |
| Players see missing textures    | The resource pack did not load                         | Reinstall the add-on and reconnect to the server.                                      |
| Feature requires Beta APIs      | The required world experiment is disabled              | Follow [Enable Beta APIs](/bedrock/beta-apis) only when the add-on author requires it. |

When an add-on prevents startup, use [Troubleshoot a server that will not start](/troubleshooting/server-wont-start).
