How to make your own Minecraft mob (Bedrock) without code
You can make your own Minecraft Bedrock mob in Mobloom, in a web browser, without writing code. Build its body from blocks, paint it, make it move, choose what it does with rules written in plain words, test it, then export a .mcaddon file that Minecraft Bedrock imports. Making is free; exports start with 30 days free.
The steps
- Make a free family account. A grown-up signs up with an email and a password and gives the child a maker nickname. No card is needed to make, paint or save.
- Build the body. The starter block is the creature’s body. Add parts such as a box, an arm, a fin or a wing, then drag the dots around a block to make it longer, taller or deeper.
- Paint it. In Draw, Decorate a part unfolds the creature flat so every side can be painted: colours, patterns, details and glow.
- Make it move. In Move, any block can become movable. Snap poses one at a time, or record a motion by moving the creature with a finger.
- Choose what it does. In Code, rules read “when something happens, do this”: when it sees a player, chase it; when it is hurt, run away.
- Test it. The practice pond acts out the creature’s rules before export, so you can see what it will do.
- Put it in Minecraft. The Minecraft tab makes a .mcaddon file. Open it on the same device and Minecraft Bedrock imports the creature. How to add it on an iPad.
What it costs
Free to create. 30 days free to export, then US$9.99/month. Card required for the trial. Cancel anytime. Making, painting and saving stay free with or without a trial. Minecraft Bedrock is sold separately. See pricing.
Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Behaviour is chosen with rules written in plain words, such as when it sees a player, chase it. There is no code to type.
Does it work with Minecraft Java Edition?
No. Mobloom exports .mcaddon files for Minecraft Bedrock Edition only. You need your own copy of Minecraft Bedrock to import and use your creature.
What does a Mobloom export contain?
One .mcaddon file with the creature’s model, its painted texture, its motions and its behaviour. Minecraft Bedrock imports it when the file is opened on the same device.
