Easy Manifest.json Template Generator [ Minecraft Bedrock Edition ]

overview

When creating add-ons for the Minecraft Bedrock Edition, manifest.json is a required file. It defines the add-on’s requirements and the version it will work with; without it, the add-on will not be recognized. This page aims to simplify the creation of add-ons by automating the generation of manifest.json for resource packs and behavior packs.

Doing it manually makes a lot of mistakes…

How to use

Enter the basic information according to the labels and press the “Generate” button. This will generate manifest.json for the behavior pack (above) and resource pack (below). Copying and pasting these as the contents of manifest.json will work fine.
Place manifest.json directly under any folder in development_○○_packs (see below):

For detailed instructions on how to create an add-on and an overview of manifest.json, please see this article:
