How to Download and Install the Q Button Addon for MCPE The "Q Button" addon is a must-have utility for Minecraft Pocket Edition (MCPE) and Bedrock Edition players. In the Java Edition of Minecraft, pressing the "Q" key allows players to drop items from their inventory instantly. By default, mobile players on MCPE must open their inventory, press and hold an item, and wait for a progress bar to fill to drop it. The Q Button addon solves this problem by adding a dedicated, on-screen button to your mobile interface, allowing you to drop items with a single tap. What is the Q Button Addon?

On PC/Mac versions of Minecraft (Java & Bedrock), pressing the key drops the item you are holding. It's a quick, reflexive action.

Apple's file system requires a few extra steps, but native integration with Minecraft makes it fast. Download the addon using Safari. Open the native app on your iOS device. Locate the q-button.mcpack file in your Downloads folder.
