Question

Which button of the downloads do I choose at Planet Minecraft?

Community Answer

If you want the map with all the structures you click on 'Download Minecraft World' but if you want just the seed so you can open the world without structures you click on the one underneath it.

Question

How do I download Minecraft maps if it won't let me paste into the save folder?

Community Answer

If on Windows 10, simply open up the drop-down menu and enter the .zip file (if it's a zip) and click "Extract." A window should now pop up and you can change the directory it's going to drop to. After selecting, click "Extract" or "Done" to extract it to that area.

Question

Where do I put my Minecraft maps?

Whitemist The Cat

Community Answer

It depends. If you want to keep downloaded maps, then you can save them to a folder for later viewing. If you want to get rid of them, you can just delete the files.

Restart you ipad, then search on the Cloud and look at background data refresh. It would help to know what you are copying files from.

Question

I spawned in the world, but none of the TNT or command blocks were working. Why? What can I do?

Community Answer

It is probably a glitch. You can restart Minecraft, redownload the map, and/or make sure the settings for the world are how you want them to be.

It's already there! Go to the Minecraft directory and select the folder called "Saves." If there is no folder called "saves," create one yourself.

If you use it, you can use Windows 10 maps only. Just put them to the "Worlds" or "Saves" folder of Windows 10 edition, and you are ready to go.

Question

It doesn't show up in my single player option. Where is it supposed to be?

Andreaslag

Community Answer

It's supposed to be in singleplayer. Check inside the folder, because the world may be inside the world file (it happens).

Question

What is the Minecraft Launcher, and how can I use it?

Rue Isabelle

Community Answer

In Java Edition, the Minecraft Launcher is the window you must open before selecting play. The layout of the launcher varies by version, but it is basically a hub from which you can determine the most basic settings of how Minecraft runs, including which update of Minecraft to use and where to store the saved world's from the game. You can also save and rename launchers so that you can essentially run Minecraft several different ways from the same app, and have different worlds saved in different launchers. In Bedrock Edition, no such launcher exists.

Question

What do I do if I downloaded and extracted a map, dragging it into saves, but it isn't the map when I open it, but some kind of generic Minecraft world instead?

Community Answer

Either you did it improperly or pressed the wrong file. Go into the “Saves” and make sure you didn’t press the wrong file or did it improperly.

Question

Where is the save button when downloading Minecraft maps?

Community Answer

It's just a folder, it should be inside of your .minecraft folder. Within the folder should be multiple saves (with the names of your single-player worlds). If you still can't find it, try just searching in your files for it.

Question

The Minecraft launcher has changed since this post was probably a bit old, so the launcher is different and I cannot find the three lines.

Cprocketfuel

Community Answer

Changing launcher settings is no longer required. Just find your .minecraft folder (in %appdata%) and put your map files into the save folder.

Question

I’m on Minecraft Java edition, version 1.16.5, and can’t find the symbol in the upper right corner in the Minecraft launcher. Is this tutorial not for Java?

Cprocketfuel

Community Answer

As of your version, that is not required. All you have to do is extract/move contents from your download into the save folder.

Question

How do I download on PS4?

Cprocketfuel

Community Answer

PS4 is Bedrock edition, not Java edition. You cannot download from the internet on the console, but you should be able to use the Minecraft Marketplace (on the main screen).
