Steps if game is already running:
Use fille explorer to open any Minecraft addon of any type
The game focuses
Check the installed addons
It wasn’t installed
Steps if game isn’t running:
Use file explorer to open any Minecraft addon of any type
The game launches
The addon is silently installed
check the installed addons
It’s there (only the first if you tried to install multiple)
Expectation: The addons to start to install (regardless of how I attempted to install), I get an in-game notification of the progress, it finishes and I can install another after that.
Reality: The addon only installs if I click the file before the game is launched (else nothing happens other than the game focusing), I get no indication of anything happening, and I can’t install another addon after that without closing the game.
In summary: There is no progress message, and you can’t install addons while the game is running.
