The PC version of Minecraft, as well as its Java and Bedrock Editions, can use a variety of programs to stay up to date. This can include the official launcher for this title, the Microsoft Store, or Xbox's PC Game Pass. Mobile devices, on the other hand, run minimal executable files.

Since the Minecraft Pocket Edition APK file is available online, you can download the setup files in any region. You can download the APK file from any of the available websites that are sources of Android APK/XAPK files. After downloading the app package (.xapk file) locate the file on your system.

  2. Rename the downloaded file’s extension from “.xapk” to “.zip”

  3. Unzip the file into any folder

  4. Create a new folder in the local folder system of your device, namely /sdcard/storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/<OBBname>/, where <OBBname> is the OBB file name itself without the extension

  6. Install the APK file that you extracted
