Question

How do I get the link from my map?

Community Answer

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.

Question

Making a map is free, correct?

Community Answer

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.

Question

Will it give viruses to my laptop?

Community Answer

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.

Question

How do I make an adventure map on Minecraft PE?

Community Answer

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.

Question

What other places that you can download stuff? (For Minecraft, not Dropbox or Plant Minecraft).

Community Answer

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.

Question

How can I set the spawn place? Is it by using command blocks?

Raai0100

Community Answer

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).

Question

How do I make a fake player (Non-player character)?

Community Answer

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.

Do you start out with small or large Minecraft blocks?

How do you find your map's name?

Arctic Chan

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".

Question

Is it okay to use someone else's mod for my map?

Community Answer

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.

Question

How can I view the .minecraft folder?

Philipp Hoehn

Community Answer

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. 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.

Question

If I want to make a map about, say, Harry Potter, do I need to use a certain pack or theme?

Community Answer

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.

Question

Where can I find my app's directory?

NateMob1

Community Answer

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.

Question

How do I do it on PE?

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.
