Minecraft Maps

Hand-built worlds for adventure, survival, parkour, and puzzles. Each map lists its edition, the newest Minecraft version it was tested on, and where the download goes. Java maps go into saves. Bedrock maps are usually .mcworld files you double-click to import.

Java or Bedrock: what changes

The map file format and install folder are different. A Java map will not open in Bedrock, and vice versa.

Java Edition

Download a .zip, extract it, and drop the folder containing level.dat into %appdata%\.minecraft\saves on Windows. Close the launcher first. The map appears in Singleplayer on next launch [citation:1].

Bedrock Edition

Download a .mcworld file and double-click it — Minecraft imports it automatically. If you get a .zip, rename it to .mcworld or extract it into minecraftWorlds [citation:7].

Before you install a map

Two things cause most "the map doesn't work" problems: wrong folder, and wrong game version.

Check the version

A map built for 1.19 may load in 1.20 but break custom command blocks. If the map page says a specific version, use that version. Do not assume "latest" is fine [citation:1].

Close the launcher first

On Java, moving files into saves while the launcher is open can cause the game to not detect the map. Close Minecraft completely before extracting [citation:1].

Extract, don't drag the zip

The folder you move into saves must contain level.dat directly inside it. If you see another folder inside, go one level deeper [citation:1].
