Tutorials/Map downloads

Maps generated in other players' games can be downloaded by the player and opened in his or her copy of the game.

Saved worlds are stored in different locations depending on the operating system. It is currently not possible to select where the  data folder, and thus the saved worlds folder, is stored.

Prior to Beta 1.3, there were five world slots, and custom names were not possible. To use more than five worlds then, it was required to rename and move folders. This is no longer necessary; there can be theoretically any number of worlds, each with their own names.

Prerequisites

 * An archiver utility, such as WinRAR or 7-Zip may be needed. Some files come as .RAR, which cannot be extracted without a program. .ZIPs can be handled without a program.

Obtain the world save

 * Download your save with a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Firefox.

Unzip the file
This is necessary if your file comes as a .ZIP or .RAR.
 * Extract the file. Right click and choose Extract. If the file format is .RAR, Windows might not be able to open it, and you will need an extracting program such as WinRAR or 7-Zip.
 * If you see a folder named data and a file named session.lock, then you're good to go! Extract the folders to your desktop.
 * If not, the files are probably there, you just have to dig deeper. Some might have two folders named Mac OS X and your_save. Check every folder until you see data and session.lock. Once you find them, extract the folders to your desktop.

Put the files into Minecraft
Now that we have the files, we're going to put them in Minecraft's core folder.
 * Copy the folder off your desktop (Copy the folder one directory above data and session.lock. For example, if my data folder and session.lock file are located in your_save next to Mac OS X under your_save_multi.RAR, I would copy the your_save folder).
 * Open the Minecraft Roaming folder by pressing  and typing %appdata%, then select the file .minecraft , then select saves . You're at your Minecraft saves folder, and you'll notice all your worlds are here, too.
 * Paste the folder ( + ) into the saves folder.
 * Open the new folder and check to make sure it has these folders in it, all right under "your_save."
 * data
 * DIM-1
 * DIM1
 * players
 * region
 * level.dat
 * levl.dat_mcr
 * level.dat_old
 * session.lock
 * Once they're all there, close .minecraft and launch the actual game

Find the save in Minecraft
Here's the hardest part: finding your new save in all your other saves. Once you find it, load it up and have fun!
 * Once Minecraft launches, click "Singleplayer"
 * The name of the folder you copied will be the grayed out name under the world name. Most likely, the save will be called "world"
 * The new save is usually all the way at the bottom, but that's not always the case. You might need to do some hunting.

Alternate directions for downloading a saved map into Minecraft for Windows
If you found the above directions confusing, here's a simpler explanation:

1. Download .Zip or .Rar saved file and unzip

2. Search for your .minecraft folder in your programs folder

3. Look for the "saves" folder

4. Created new save folder and then copy all unzipped content into that folder (session.lock, data folder, etc.)

5. Done, open up Minecraft and it will be in your selection of saved worlds.

Obtain the world save
Download the world from any web browser, such as Safari, Google Chrome, or Firefox.by what if you are thinking this by going on to minecraft worlds.net

Unzip the file
(Sometimes the download comes without compression.. Check for a .zip or .rar.) Double-click (or right-click and choose Open) to extract the folder. You may have a folder inside the folder.

Place the files into Minecraft
Place the folder in /Users/[USER]/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves. If your minecraft folder is in a different location, use that location instead. if you are unable to find the folder open minecraft go to resource packs click open resource packs folder and then back track from there.

Troubleshooting
If the save is not in Minecraft:
 * Check to see if you have a folder inside a folder.
 * Check if you forgot to unzip the folder.
 * Check if Minecraft is using a different minecraft folder.

Prerequisites

 * I am using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS for this tutorial. Other distributions may use different archive software, but the .minecraft location is the same
 * An archiver utility, such as Archive Manager (file-roller) may be needed. Some files come as .RAR, which cannot be extracted without unrar (non-free) or unrar-free. ZIPs can be handled with Archive Manager as well.
