    How old do you have to be to publish?
    Community Answer
    When it comes to Minecraft map publishing, you can be any age. But do get your parent's approval if you are a minor.
  • 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
    Do I need to program?
    Community Answer
    No, you just need basic knowledge of command blocks.
  • 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.

    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.

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

    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.

  • Question
    What is the map featured in the pictures in the article?

  • Question
    How do I build a map with another person at the same time?

    How do you find your map's name?
    Arctic Chan
    Community Answer
    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".

    What if you add the wither or the Enderdragon?
    CheesyPenguinPlayz
    Community Answer
    It would break the map, unless you add bedrock whereever you are spawning it.
  • 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 do I post your my on the forums when I'm done with the map?
    Community Answer
    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".

    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.

    Leo

    Yes, but you'll have to do it without command blocks and it requires something like Jailbreak.
  • Question
    Can I play other people's maps online? If so, how?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    Can I make money with published maps?

    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
    How do I get my adventure map approved?

  • 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?
    Community Answer
    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.
