How can I import a custom map into Minecraft?
Posted On: February 10, 2023

I've watched lots of Minecraft videos on YouTube, where they tell you to "extract the Minecraft map", but none of them explain exactly what I need to do to get that map imported into Minecraft, once I've downloaded it.


What exactly do I need to do to get a custom map available within the game?


I'm using Windows 10 and Minecraft version 1.8.8.


Question from user LyricsBot at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

Okay, follow along with me:.


Go to the downloaded map or whatever, and if you have it in a .ZIP file extract it using WinRAR to a specified folder (I would recommend your documents folder). If you don't then go to the folder where the file was downloaded too, and continue on.


Cut the extracted file.


Go to your search bar, and type in run. Click the application "Run", and inside of run type in %appdata%.


Open up the folder called .minecraft.


Inside of that folder, open up the folder called saves.


Paste the file you cut in the beginning into that folder.


Boom! You are done!.


EDIT: JonK posted this method:.


Follow the first two steps above.


Open up the current Minecraft Launcher.


Go to the Edit Profiles Button.


Select Open Game Dir.


Then go into saves.


Paste the file.
