How To Move Files From Minecraft
- LevelSkip»
To move Minecraft to another computer, just copy the entire.minecraft folder from the Roaming folder of the old computer (see full path above) to the Roaming folder of the new computer. That will also copy all your saved worlds. You can do the copy via a thumb drive, via a cloud file hosting service, or just email yourself the file. Once your save has been uploaded to the cloud, close Minecraft: Story Mode and launch Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two. Go to the Extras menu, select 'Import Save from Telltale Account', and log into the same Telltale account that you were playing Minecraft: Story Mode on.
What is a Minecraft Map? How Do I Download One?
In Minecraft, you can craft a map out of paper made from sugar cane and add it to your inventory. The map will draw itself as you explore and record where you go. To use a ready-made map, you can be gifted one from a friend, or you can download one from the Internet.
Once you've downloaded a map, though, there are a few steps you need to take in order to be able to explore it in the game. Read on to learn about the following steps:
- Downloading a Minecraft map
- Locating the Minecraft map on your computer
- Unzipping the compressed file
- Playing your new map
1. Find and Download a Map
The first thing you need to do is find a map to download. As mentioned above, many times YouTube videos of Minecraft play will contain download links for that map. There are also websites which aggregate Minecraft maps for download.
Always be careful when downloading files from the Internet and only download maps from trusted sources. Be sure that your computer's anti-virus software is up-to-date. Don't download .EXE files that claim to be installers, as they are likely to be viruses.
Some popular sites for downloading maps include: Planet Minecraft Projects, the Maps section of Minecraft Forum, and Minecraft Maps.
2. Find Your Saved Files
Your downloaded map will most likely be in a .ZIP or .RAR form. To unzip it, you will first need to locate the saved file in your Minecaraft 'saves' folder, as that is where downloaded game files like maps are stored.
What is the Minecraft 'saves' folder, and how do you locate it? The folder is in your directory of Minecraft files. There are a few ways to locate it:
Using the Minecraft Launcher:
- Open the Launcher, and select Edit Profile.
- Click the Open Game Dir option. 'Dir' is short for 'Directory.'
- Your 'saves' folder will be in the .minecraft directory.
Using Windows
- Open the Start menu and select Run.
- Type (without quotes) '%appdata%.minecraftsaves' and hit Enter.
Using Mac OS
- Open the Finder.
- Select Go and Go to Folder..
- When prompted, enter (without quotes) '~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves'.
3. Unzip the Map File
The downloaded map file it is most likely in .RAR or .ZIP format, which will need to be unzipped. Unzip it with your favorite unzipper, such as WinRAR, 7-Zip, or The Unarchiver (for Mac OS).
- Having located the 'saves' folder, you can copy the folder path of the 'saves' folder into your unzipper of choice.
- Depending on which program you use, the unzipped file will be automatically saved to the Minecraft 'saves' folder, or you may be prompted to choose where to save the file.
- If saved to the Desktop or another location other than the 'saves' folder, copy and paste the extracted file into the 'saves' folder, which you learned how to locate in Step 2.
- You can also rename your downloaded map if you like.
4. Launch Your Downloaded Map
If your downloaded, unzipped map has been saved in the Minecraft 'saves' folder, you should be able to select it when you play Minecraft when asked to select a World from your Worlds list.

Newest version of minecraft: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAKFHFs5lBY
I did everything you said but it still didn't come up.i specialy downloade winrar for this.what a waste of disk space
how do ya select it to play????
for some reasons .rar files don't work! my .zip files work fine, but these seem to be set up differently in the files, and it doesn't come up on my minecraft world selection!
I did everything but the map doesn't show up in my minecraft WHAT DO I DO
How can you turn it off, I meant you already downloaded it how do you put it off?
i can't find the folder save, what should i do
thanks for nothing!
Thank You So Much
I'm playing the world from the minecraft 1.2 trailer
:D
You are ment to extract it
you can't copy and paste files in winrar so how do you put it in the saves folder? I presume you drag and drop if i'm wrong correct me
When i put it into the saves file and open minecraft, i can't find it on my world list!!! what do i do?
When I download it it's not a .zip file so I instantly put it in the saves folder but it doesn't show up. I've done this before and it worked, and I just did it again and it didn't..
-THIS IS OUTDATED-
worlds no longer 'occupy' a world slot of 1 to 5, but have unique names (mostly exactly same as world name ingame).
Like last guy said, just copy the folder (unzipped) to your .minecraftsaves folder to get it as a singleplayer world
this is the quick way. just open .minecraft folder and go to saves. in the folder saves, put your downloaded map in it. and then extract it. then you are ready to play!
it worked (n_n)!
After the file is in there start minecraft and go a little bit throw the different óptions it has to load a little time
yeah, i tried it all, but when i go on minecraft it just doesn't show up. am i doing something wrong?
Sorry for the dumb questions, but what do you mean by 'Find and Enter' when you say:
Step 6: Find and Enter the 'Roaming' file. Once inside that file, Find and Enter '.minecraft'
@VipDude, Do Winrar and try it. That's all I can say, since I don't know how to use 7zip.
It wont work. I have 7zip and it says to download it on the AD. Please help. I have Windows 7.
step 1. download the world you want
step 2. extract the world you want
step 3. run %appdata% search for Roaming->.minecraft
step 4. in .minecraft search for saves, put the extracted folder in there, DO NOT RENAME IT, you can rename your worlds in minecraft itself.
step 5. start minecraft and play
uhmm.. 1.8 has come out a few weeks ago and this map what I have in at survival mode. How can i change it?
hmmmmmmmmmm it works yay
I hope the map I downloaded works, and that Winrar won't stuff up like it did with one of the files for Kerbal Space Program..
I tried this, and when I downloaded the map, it appeared to already be sorted with winrar. However I renamed the folder World1 (I have no other saves) yet when I open Minecraft it still says i have no worlds?
HEELLP. HOW DO YOU DO THIS,I did everything right,but i didn't use winRAR
HOW THE HECK DO YOU INSTALL THEM THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF STUFF LIKE THIS ITS AS HARD AS INSTALLING A MOD MAN HOW TO YOU DO ALL THIS STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you copy? I can't find it in the options
I followed all the steps which worked thing apart from chnaging the name to something like 'World4', thts where i am a bit confused because all my saves have the names('castle land' and other names), eg i have about 6 saves and there not World1,World2,World3 ect So would i need to change the name to World 7 or something ?
is there a good unzipper i can't find a good free one
i followed all of your steps and it isn't showing up in my select a world screen
'Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition' creates open worlds for you to explore and transform each time you start a new game. The game uses an algorithm to ensure the randomness of each new world, which means that even if you start a new game the experience can be different. When you save the game, the worlds are stored to your Xbox 360 hard drive or storage unit, which can quickly fill up, especially if you are using the slim model that only has 4GB of internal storage. If you want to save multiple 'Minecraft' worlds or keep backup copies of worlds that you want to return to, use an external USB device to store these save files.
Insert the USB device to which you want to save the Minecraft world in an open USB slot on your Xbox 360 and then power on the console.
Sign in to your profile on your Xbox 360 and then press the right shoulder button to scroll to the 'Settings' tab.
Highlight 'System' and press the 'A' button to open the system settings menu.
Scroll down to 'Storage' and press the 'A' button to view a list of storage devices connected to the Xbox 360.
How To Move Files From Minecraft Windows 10
Scroll down to the USB storage device that you have connected and press 'A.' Highlight 'Configure Now' and then press 'A' to set up the device for storage. Skip to Step 8 if your USB device is already configured for your Xbox 360.
Highlight 'Yes' and press the 'A' button when asked if you want to remove all content from the device. Wait while the device is tested and configured for storage. This may take a few minutes depending on the size of the device. Do not turn off your console while this process is taking place.
Press the 'A' button once the device configured confirmation message is displayed. The device is now ready to be used as Xbox 360 storage.
Highlight the hard drive or memory unit where your 'Minecraft' worlds are saved and then press the 'A' button.
Highlight 'Games and Apps' and then press the 'A' button. Scroll down to 'Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition' and press the 'A' button.
Highlight the world that you want to save to the USB device and then press the 'A' button. The name of the world is displayed above the words 'Save Game.'
Highlight 'Copy' or 'Move' from the menu that opens and then press the 'A' button. If you use the 'Copy' option, the game world is saved to the USB device while a copy remains on the hard drive or storage unit. The 'Move' option transfers the game world to the USB device without leaving a copy on the hard drive or storage unit.
Highlight the USB device to which you want to save the 'Minecraft' world on the 'Select a Device' menu that opens and then press the 'A' button.
Wait for the copy or move in progress indicator to reach 100 percent. Do not switch off the console or remove the USB device before the copy or move is complete or you run the risk of losing your data.
Repeat the process from Step 10 onwards to save more of your Minecraft worlds to the USB device.
Warnings
To use a USB device as storage for your Xbox 360 it must be at least 1GB. When you configure the device all existing data is erased, so ensure that there are no important files stored on it.
