Tutorials/Map downloads

Worlds generated in other players' games can be downloaded by the player and opened in their game.

Saved worlds are stored in different locations depending on the operating system. It is currently possible to select where the .minecraft data folder, and thus the saved worlds folder. It can be accessed by pressing Windows+R then typing %appdata%\.minecraft.

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.
