Like many other people, I recently downloaded the new edition of Minecraft for Windows 10. After playing with it for a little bit I realized something, it's basically just a version of Minecraft: PE ported to the PC. So then I was thinking about MC:PE Mods working on MC:W10.
After trying to figure out where the files for the game were kept, I noticed that it has most of the same files as Minecraft: PE, as I had hoped.
Today I am going to teach you how to get access to the file, since you normally can't do so.
Note: If you don't know how to get around your computer, please don't attempt to follow this tutorial, as you'll likely end up ruining your game.
First of all, open Command Prompt as an Administrator. You can do this by pressing the Windows Key + R and typing "CMD".
Once you have Command Prompt open, type in,
@REM Assign the ownership of the folder to the current logged user
takeown /F "%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps"
Exactly like that.
Now, you should be able to open the file. Open Windows Explorer, and type in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps".
Scroll down until you find something that says Minecraft, and open it.
There you go. Happy modding, folks!
Make sure when you're done with your modding you type this back into Command Prompt, or you won't be able to install any new apps:
REM Assign the ownership of the folder back to the "TrustedInstaller" user
icacls "%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps" /setowner "NT Service\TrustedInstaller"
With what he has showed, you could easily replace some of the images with your own textures if you wanted. If you knew much about C++ could could probably figure out how you could go about modding by taking these files.
So could one host desno gun mod such as mcpe on windows 10 and play with X box one now that cross platform? Or second part of ? If one was streaming from X box one to android with current ownership would forge work properly if so if a third party app was published on X box one store could it be feasible to act as forge solely on the console itself? Thanks sorry for the late bump. Just that if I could decompile to smali edit publish to app store theory of it working also if not could one inject packets through ones router to interact with a third party app that was open source if X box one is nothing more that a stripped windows 8? Thanks
icacls "%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps" /setowner "NT Service\TrustedInstaller"
I got to the directory. Where are the world files stored?
The Minecraft forum can be described as "a bunch of crazy people disagreeing with each other"
How is it possible to get bored of Minecraft?
I have done this already and i'd like to tell everyone who is interested in mc10 modding, this is not the topic you're looking for.
The application is written in cpp and will make no sense even if you are actually able to decompile the libraries.
With all due respect, OP has taught everybody to get to the installation directory and not how to start modding.
But thank you for building clear instructions to reach this directory, we'll probably need it in a year maybe.

My question is: Is it possible to get the directory moved and have Minecraft:W10 run off of that Directory instead of WindowsApps?
Worlds are under "C:\Users\yourUser\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_Whaterver\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds"
Probly derping around on the interwebs right now. I play minecraft, I love mac linux, and..... andd....... sorry I'm a nerd.
Uhh, I don't know what you mean by "Assign the ownership of the folder to the current logged user"...

what do i do if it says "Access is denied"?
This isn't modding, this is finding the directory.
Good job though
Open it, and pin it to taskbar. lel, then you won't have to go to WindowsApps. I pinned it to taskbar without knowing where the file's stored.
Well unless you want to wait some years until modders find out how to mod c++ minecraft. you could try to edit textures... i dont see why, though
Well the game did just start in Windows 10 and it unbelievably is is on BETA but it is easy the downoad maps all you need is your files
but i think that mods are unable to upload or download in W10
Damn I wasted 10 bucks for nothing in Windows 10 edition :((
I am just going to guess this is impossible. Not messing with anything I can't understand the instructions to.
but now we know where the files are located, and so we can make mods just like pe
I hate to necro an old post, but I feel I must add that this is TERRIBLE advice for controlling access to a TrustedInstaller-owned branch.
This does work to an extent, but a more appropriate method would be to assign control permissions to your user account.
HOWEVER... if you feel you must monkey with this folder using the aforementioned method, MAKE A BACKUP OF THE PERMISSIONS BEFORE ALTERING THEM!
It is done like this (in an Admin command prompt):
icacls "%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps" /save WindowsApps.acl
THEN go ahead and use OP's command line to take ownership.
When finished, restore the backup using:
icacls "%ProgramFiles%" /restore WindowsApps.acl
As I mentiond, you really should alter your permissions instead of taking ownreship.
For a more in-depth treatment, see the following article:

Also, besides being a PE executable vs. Java jar, Microsoft has a file integrity catalog associated with the app, so good luck with that. >.<
informationhighway...
.
i found all the skins in the game, no purchase required. would uploading those to somewhere be illegal?
oh and i just saw that you can edit the splash text, too. havent tested it yet.
Don't worry guys addons,aka Mods, will be added once Minecon 2016 is out.
