Minecraft Marketplace Pass Free Trial Weekend: Add-ons Worth Prioritizing

Once the event concludes, paid content acquired during the free trial will be removed from your account and worlds, making this the perfect opportunity to focus on trying out the add-ons you're most interested in. The official event runs from 9:00 AM PT on July 10 to 12:00 PM PT on July 12. Official Event Details
Below are a few add-ons worth prioritizing during this free trial weekend.
Note: The following recommendations are subjective; there is plenty more content in the Marketplace Pass worth exploring.
Actions & Stuff
Actions & Stuff is a popular texture and animation add-on in the Marketplace, perfect for players who want to make their vanilla worlds feel more detailed and dynamic.
It replaces a vast array of environmental and block textures while adding richer animations to mobs and world details. By utilizing mechanics like name tags and armor stands, players can even unlock custom appearances for certain mobs and blocks. For players who frequently play Survival mode or enjoy documenting their builds and taking screenshots, these visual changes are immediately noticeable.
The official free trial content includes a newer version of Actions & Stuff, making it a great time to see if its visual style matches your preferences.
Better on Bedrock
If you are looking to bring large-scale gameplay expansions to your Bedrock Survival experience, Better on Bedrock is worth prioritizing.
This add-on introduces a massive amount of new blocks, mobs, food items, structures, and bosses. According to its description, the content includes over 100 blocks, 20 mobs, 40 food items, and 7 bosses. The experience feels closer to the large-scale modpacks common in the Java Edition, providing more encounters, combat, and collection goals as you explore the world.
For players who want to flesh out their vanilla Survival world without having to pick and choose individual small add-ons, this is an ideal trial target.
Dwellers 2.1
Players who prefer a horror atmosphere should give Dwellers 2.1 a try. Inspired by the Cave Dweller horror mods common in the Java Edition, it turns underground exploration from simple mining into a process where you must constantly watch your surroundings.
In addition to the classic Dweller, this add-on introduces 15 similar creatures. They will track and hunt players throughout the world, adding a palpable sense of tension to caves, mineshafts, and the wilderness at night.
If you feel that vanilla cave exploration lacks tension, Dwellers 2.1 is perfect for starting a test world during the free weekend to see if its pacing is right for playing with friends.
