Installation & Updates - ForestOfLight/Canopy GitHub Wiki
Installation
After downloading the .mcaddon from the Releases page, follow the instructions below to install the pack. The .mcaddon file contains both the behavior and resource packs.
Simple Installation:
- Open the
.mcaddonfile. This should automatically open Minecraft and install the pack. - You should now see the pack in your behavior and resource packs list.
To add the pack to a world:
- Open Minecraft and edit the world.
- Add the behavior and resource packs to the world.
- Enable the "Beta APIs" experiment toggle.
Once your world is set up, you should see a welcome message in the chat. Many commands can be accessed with a preceding ./, and others with a preceding /. Try ./help to make sure it works!
Manual Installation:
- Change the
.mcaddonfile to a zip file and extract it. - Place the
Canopy [BP]folder in yourcom.mojang > behavior_packsfolder. - Place the
Canopy [RP]folder in yourcom.mojang > resource_packsfolder.
To manually add the pack to a world:
- Rename the
.mcaddonfile to a.zipfile and extract it. - Place the
Canopy [BP]folder in yourworld_folder > behavior_packsfolder. - Open the
Canopy [BP] > manifest.jsonand copy the uuid and version from the "header" section. - Open the
world_folder > world_behavior_packs.jsonand paste the uuid and version into the "pack_id" and "version" fields.- For example, your
world_behavior_packs.jsonmay look like this:
- For example, your
[
{
"pack_id" : "7f6b23df-a583-476b-b0e4-87457e65f7c0",
"version" : [ 1, 3, 10 ]
}
]

Canopy [RP] > manifest.jsonand copy the uuid and version from the "header" section. - Open the
world_folder > world_resource_packs.jsonand paste the uuid and version into the "pack_id" and "version" fields.
Adding Canopy to Servers
Make sure you add "@minecraft/debug-utilities" to your server's config/default/permissions.json. This is not possible on Realms, and is why Canopy has a separate Realms version.
Updating
To update the pack:
- Download the
.mcaddonfrom the Releases page. - Either open the file to have it automatically installed, or replace the pack folders manually in your
com.mojangfolder.
If an old version of the pack is causing issues, you can try the following:
- Removing the old packs (
Canopy [BP]andCanopy [RP]) through the Minecraft settings. - Clearing your pack cache through the Minecraft settings.
- Removing the old packs from your
com.mojang > behavior_packs&com.mojang > resource_packsfolders. - Removing the old packs from your world folders (
world_folder > behavior_packs&world_folder > resource_packs).
