The Minecraft Marketplace picked up over a dozen new items for Bedrock Edition in October 2026, from the Civilizations add-on with 99 new villagers across nine civilizations, to seven bosses in Bosses Rise, plus new maps, texture packs and skins. The official store's monthly update is available to every Marketplace Pass or Realms Plus subscriber, with no need to buy individual items separately.

Civilizations and Bosses Rise: the month's two flagship add-ons

Civilizations by Mythicus is the biggest add-on of the month in terms of content. It introduces 99 villagers split into nine distinct civilizations, including desert nomads, Arctic dwellers and underwater Atlanteans. Each group has its own trading system and currency, which changes the usual trading mechanics from the base game.

The other big add-on is Bosses Rise by Block Factory, an official Bedrock port of a popular Java Edition mod. Players take on seven bosses, each with unique AI, animations, weapons and armor, and the fights take place in procedurally generated dungeons with a roll mechanic familiar from souls-like games. The add-on costs 1690 Minecoins (about $8.86) and has a 4.7 out of 5 rating from 964 reviews.

Furniture, Monsters and survival gear

For fans of building and classic survival, the Marketplace offers several smaller but practical picks this month. The Monsters add-on by Ninja Block brings 28 new mobs and 10 weapons, while Furniture by Waypoint Studios adds over 3000 interior decoration items, from chairs to complete kitchen sets.

  • Camping Backpack 2.0 (HorizonBlocks) - a 9x9 mobile shelter that unfolds from a backpack
  • Simply Backpacks (Simply Brilliant) - backpacks in various sizes and colors for organizing your inventory
  • Monsters (Ninja Block) - 28 new mobs and 10 weapons to spice up combat

These add-ons pair well with the new mobs covered on the mob wiki, though the Marketplace creatures only work in a world where the given add-on has been activated.

Mini-games and maps: from London to a billionaire's mansion

The maps and mini-games section in October focuses on a variety of play styles. Cityscapes London by Octovon lets you explore a virtual recreation of the UK capital, while Billionaire Mansion by Dodo Studios is an extravagant estate to tour or remodel to your own taste.

  • One Block (Honeyfrost) - classic survival on a single block
  • Mermaid Village (Lifeboat) - an underwater settlement to explore and build in
  • Rustic Log Mansion (CrackedCubes) - a rustic wooden mansion
  • Parkour UP! (Cleverlike) - a 1500-block parkour challenge with no checkpoints

Maps like these often end up on community servers, where groups of players tackle challenges together or organize their own events using ready-made Marketplace worlds.

Textures, skins and Halloween Character Creator items

The texture section includes Askew: Audio Overhaul by Syclone Studios, which changes the game's sound design, as well as Project MELIOR by CubeCraft Games and Jicklus Resource Pack by Pathway Studios, both aiming for a simplified, readable block look. The Simple Modern pack by Giggle Block Studios has also joined the lineup.

Among the new skins, two sets stand out: Friends by Podcrash with 12 casual designs, and Nature's Way by Pixelusion with 10 nature-inspired skins. The Character Creator also got seasonal additions in the form of pumpkin wings, a hat, boots, pants and knight armor from CreatorLabs, fitting the Halloween mood in the game this October.

How to get the October additions

All of the add-ons, maps, textures and skins listed here are available only in Minecraft Bedrock Edition and require an active Marketplace Pass or Realms Plus subscription, which includes this service in its price. Players without a subscription can buy individual items with Minecoins, as is the case with Bosses Rise.

Java Edition players don't have access to the Marketplace, but the community has been making similar add-ons for years as free mods, often inspired by the same mechanics as the paid Bedrock items. It's still one of the main differences between the two versions, alongside how extensions are installed and how servers are accessed.
