How do I install Optimum Realism on iPhone, iPad, or Android (MCPE)

Download the .mcpack, then open it: on iOS use Files → tap the .mcpack → Share → Minecraft; on Android tap it in a file manager and choose Minecraft. The pack imports automatically — then activate it in Global Resources or the world's Resource Packs.

Step 1

Download the Bedrock .mcpack

On the download page pick the Bedrock edition — the file is .mcpack, not .zip. Bedrock mobile ships at 64x (free), 128x and 256x via Patreon.

Step 2 — iPhone / iPad

Open the .mcpack from the Files app

After it downloads in Safari, open the Files app → Downloads, tap the .mcpack. Minecraft usually opens and imports automatically. If it doesn't, tap the file → Share icon → choose Minecraft from the app list.

If Minecraft isn't offered in the Share sheet, make sure Minecraft is installed and the file ends in .mcpack (not .zip). iOS sometimes saves it as a .zip — rename the extension to .mcpack in Files.

Step 3 — Android

Tap the .mcpack in a file manager

Open your Files / file-manager app → Downloads → tap the .mcpack and choose "Open with Minecraft". Minecraft launches and imports the pack.

If your browser saved it as a .zip, rename it back to .mcpack first. Some Android browsers block the hand-off — a dedicated file manager is the reliable route.

Step 4

Activate the pack

Wait for the "import successful" message. Then enable it: Settings → Global Resources → Optimum Realism → Activate (applies everywhere), or per world via Edit → Resource Packs → Activate. Put it at the top of the active list.

Step 5 — heads up on RTX

Phones and tablets can't do RTX ray tracing

Mobile devices don't support Bedrock RTX ray tracing, so you get the high-res PBR textures without ray-traced lighting. On capable phones, Bedrock's built-in Vibrant Visuals mode is the way to get PBR lighting without RTX.
