A Step-by-Step Guide to Installing New Custom Maps in Minecraft PE

Most maps can be downloaded in various formats such as .MCWorld or .Zip Installing these maps in the game will depend on which format the file has been downloaded in. Hence, when downloading, the player must keep an eye out for the format of the file.

Java & Bedrock Instructions[]

These instructions are compatible with both Java and Bedrock and will guide you to a step by step process of installing a world to Minecraft.

NOTE that you cannot open Bedrock worlds in Java and vice versa; you will need a converter (such as Chunker) to do that.

This is necessary if you have a compressed file.

Extract the compressed file.

If you see a file named level.dat, then youre good to go! Extract the zip/rar to a folder (WORLD)

1. If you can only see a folder, open it. It might have the files. Extract that folder and rename it to a good name, like (WORLD

Once you extracted it to a folder, follow these steps:

Open the default directory for Minecraft folder.

1. On Java Edition, the name of the folder is .minecraft. Below is a table showing the default directory for .minecraft.

OS	Location
Windows	%APPDATA%.minecraft
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
Linux	~/.minecraft

1. On Bedrock Edition, the name of the folder is games/com.mojang. Below is a table listing these:

Platform	Location
Windows (including mobile)	%localappdata%PackagesMicrosoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbweLocalStategamescom.mojang
Android and Fire OS	For SD Card users: /SD_CARD_NAME_HERE/Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe/files/games/com.mojang For Internal Storage: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe/files/games/com.mojang
iOS	Minecraft/games/com.mojang

Open the saves‌[Java Edition only] or minecraftWorlds‌[Bedrock Edition only] folder. You will notice all your worlds are here.

Paste that folder into the mentioned folder.

Open the new folder and check to make sure it has everything in it, all right under WORLD.

Once theyre all there, launch the game, and continue below.

Heres the hardest part: finding your new save in all your other saves.

Once Minecraft opens, click “Singleplayer” or “Play”

The name of the folder you copied will be the grayed out name under the world name (On Java).

The new save is usually all the way at the bottom, but thats not always the case. You might need to do some hunting.

Once you found it, load it up and have fun! You may have to back up the world if it was saved in a different version of Minecraft.

Bedrock Specific Instructions (Android/Fire OS/iOS/Windows (Recommended)[]

After you download a bedrock map, you should already have a file name with .mcworld in it, like FILE_NAME_HERE.mcworld. It should also have a Minecraft icon in it. Just double click it and it will automatically open in Minecraft. You can easily rename bedrock .zip files to a .mcworld simply by changing the extension. MCWORLD is just a special file extension optimized for Minecraft Bedrock.

So, instructions are:

Change the extension to .mcworld if it isnt already.

Double click the file.

If it didnt automatically open, select Minecraft if asked. If it still doesnt work, follow the guide below.
