MiniBench / Learn

1. 1

   Create your first project

   Open MiniBench and tap New Project. Name it Redstone Manor, keep the default Minecraft version, and tap Create. MiniBench scaffolds a valid pack for you — a manifest.json, a pack icon, and a functions folder — so you're ready to build right away.
   
2. 2

   Build your house

   Add a new .mcfunction in the functions folder (we called ours manor). A handful of fill and setblock commands lay down walls, a floor, a doorway, and windows — and MiniBench's autocomplete and live validation keep every command correct as you type.
   
   Prefer not to write commands? The House Builder generates a complete house from a few taps instead. (House Builder is part of MiniBench Pro.)
   
3. 3

   Export as a .mcpack

   Tap Export. MiniBench validates your pack and packages it as a .mcpack — the single file Minecraft knows how to open.
   
4. 4

   Open in Minecraft

   The iOS share sheet slides up. Tap Minecraft, and your pack is handed straight to the game — no files to move by hand.
   
5. 5

   Minecraft imports your pack

   Minecraft launches and imports Redstone Manor automatically. You'll see an “Import started” banner, then it's ready to use.
   
6. 6

   Activate it on a world

   This is the step most people miss. Create or edit a world, open Behavior Packs, find Redstone Manor under Available, and tap Activate. Turn on Cheats in the same settings so you can run the function.
   
7. 7

   Run it in-game

   Jump into the world, open the chat, and type /function manor. Minecraft recognizes the function from your pack — you'll see it in the autocomplete — so send it.
   
8. 8

   Your build appears

   Redstone Manor built! You just went from a blank project to a structure standing in your world — created on your iPad, running in Minecraft. That's the whole loop.
