As of today, the cross-platform version Minecraft Bedrock has launched "add-ons" through its in-game marketplace which, yes, are essentially also mods, free and paid.

Minecraft Marketplace is a store in Bedrock Edition from which players can download third-party content for the sandbox game. The Marketplace has worlds, maps, minigames, and even skin packs.

With the new Superman movie almost here, Minecraft is celebrating with a free skin pack that includes the iconic hero, Lois Lane, and more.

The easier-to-install and larger selection of free texture packs and skins is also a huge advantage Java has over Bedrock, especially on consoles.
