Q&A for How to Create a Minecraft Adventure Map

When it comes to Minecraft map publishing, you can be any age. But do get your parent's approval if you are a minor.

Once you have published it, you copy the link where the save is and paste it wherever you can access it. This way you can go to it whenever you need. If you can't find the link, type in the exact title you saved it as on forums/planet minecraft and it should come up, and you can copy the link from there.

Yes, so long as you already own Minecraft (otherwise you will have to buy it). It's really as simple as building a world, like you would do normally, and copying the savegame.

No, you just need basic knowledge of command blocks.

This depends on which adventure map you've accessed. If you trust its source, and there seem to be many people already on, and your parents agree it looks alright, and your friends/family use it too, and you have a virus scanner, you can be sure it won't.

Press "T" to access chat and type the following command: "/give @p minecraft:command_block." Then press enter.

In MCPE it is basically the same, except that you will have limitations. MCPE is improving (they now have red stone and the nether), and it's only going to get better in time, so keep checking back on upgrades regarding map work.

Go to Settings -> Controls, find out which key you have set as screenshot, go to your map, /gamemode 3, then take the screenshots wherever you want them.

Minecraftmaps.com has a lot of maps that you can download. There are plenty of websites out there specifically for mods, texture packs, and skins. Check out forums where Minecraft players hang out.

Just go through multiple worlds until you find one you like, then integrate the builds into the land.

If you want to set the spawn of a certain person, then use /spawnpoint {the name of the player}. It is a lot easier if you use the @p(select the nearest player), @a(selects all players), @r (selects random player), @e (selects all entities).

You can make a Non-player by making a armor stand, putting armor on it except for an helmet, and putting a head on it. You can look up some commands to customize the head or make the arms of the armor stand show, or even make it invisible.

All of the Minecraft blocks are the same size, excluding slabs, fences, stairs, etc. You might like to start out with the normal block size.

Compress them and copy them into your USB then copy or cut it to their computers.

Nothing "must" be included in an adventure map. It’s your own story, so you can do what you want.

This is the wikiHow's author's example map, because that's what the file said, and (s)he could show us all the steps involved with building a map.

If you are on the same local wifi, you should be able to join the game together, then just have fun.

Do you mean how do you name it? Just select a name that suits what happens in the map. For example, for an escape map: "Escape from Teko Tower".

It would break the map, unless you add bedrock whereever you are spawning it.

It depends on the mod creator. Some creators are asking to be credited. So if you are building a map, write (on a sign, into a book, etc.) "created by: [creator's name]." Tip: It is not recommended to use mods in adventure maps because some players can't download mods so you will have less people playing your map.

Websites where you can upload your finished map usually have a formula where everything is described. Minecraftmaps.com, for example, has "Submit Your Map" in its section "More".

In Windows, press the Windows key and type %appdata%. From there, you can open your ".minecraft" folder. On a Mac, press Command+Shift+G and type ~/Library. Open the "Application Support" folder and then ".minecraft." On Linux, your ".minecraft" folder will most likely be within your home directory, which you can access from terminal or a file browser.

Yes, but you'll have to do it without command blocks and it requires something like Jailbreak.

Yes. Download the .zip file on a map sharing website, then open the .zip file. A folder should appear. Copy (ctrl+c) the .zip file and then put it into your /minecraft/saves/ folder with Minecraft closed.

It depends on where it is uploaded. If your map is hosted on a site where the ad revenue is being paid to you, then yes.

Players in adventure mode will not be allowed to break blocks.

Maybe, if you need it. It's dependent on your building style and ability to create different types of structures. If you think you could build a world similar to Harry Potter on your own, then you could do that too.

You don't have to get it approved, but you could ask other people to give you their opinions in order to improve the quality of your map.

On Windows: You can go in the Launcher > Edit Profile > Open Directory, or even by press Windows + R and typing "%appdata%\.minecraft\" in the box. On Mac OS X: Go to Finder and look for "Go to folder…" at the top. Then enter "/Users//Library/Application Support/minecraft" using the name of your User Account on the Mac. If it doesn't work, go to your Launcher > Edit Profile > Open Directory. Make note of the folder, because for some reason the launcher directory target was changed and it set its files there.

As far as I can tell, you can't do that yet. PC edition code doesn't match up with MC:PE. It'll just crash the game, or not load at all.
