You can easily rename bedrock .zip files to a .mcworld simply by changing the extension. is just a special file extension optimized for Minecraft Bedrock.

So, instructions are:

• Change the extension to .mcworld if it isn’t already.
• Double click the file.

If it didn’t automatically open, select Minecraft if asked. If it still doesn’t work, follow the guide below.

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 to do that.

Extract the world

This is necessary if you have a compressed file.

1. Extract the compressed file.
2. If you see a file named , then you’re good to go! Extract the zip/rar to a folder ()
   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 (

Importing into Minecraft

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

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

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

1. Open the ‌[Java Edition only] or ‌[Bedrock Edition only] folder. You will notice all your worlds are here.
2. Paste that folder into the mentioned folder.
3. Open the new folder and check to make sure it has everything in it, all right under .
4. Once they’re all there, launch the game, and continue below.

Find the folder in Minecraft

Here’s the hardest part: finding your new save in all your other saves.

1. Once Minecraft opens, click «Singleplayer» or «Play»
2. The name of the folder you copied will be the grayed out name under the world name (On Java).
3. 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.
4. 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.

Trivia[]

• Use of the F1 key can allow the player to hold a map without blocking their view at all.
• In Java Edition, a map created using can be any map by using the Map parameter to specify the map number desired. E.g. gives the specified player map_5. If no data value is supplied it defaults to map_0. If map_0 has not ever been crafted, it is centered on x=0, z=0.
• The maps are stored separately as their own data () file as with (x) being the map number, see map item format for more info. By manipulating this number, players can organize their maps to suit them, or if they accidentally create a map in the same location, they can delete their extra map so as to save the number they make.
• Certain programs can be used to make customized maps with images or text on them instead of actual maps, many people use these in adventure maps to show pictures or to tell a story.
• Since all copies of a map are links to the same file, copying an unfinished map keeps it synchronized with the copy as the player fills it in. Thus, a copy stored in a chest can act as a remote backup.
• A map that is in an item frame does not update itself until a player picks it up, lets it reload, and places it back again. However, if a player holds a clone of the map, both maps update.
• Filled maps are the only items that make 90 degree rotations in item frames, and also the only items that can expand the item frame into full block wide.
• On Legacy Console Edition, the player always spawns with a map in their inventory after creating a world. This was later added to Bedrock Edition as an optional feature in the world creation menu.
• Maps on Legacy Console Edition always show the player’s current coordinates, as a substitute for the optional coordinate display in other editions.
• A map cannot be created on New Nintendo 3DS Edition. Instead, the map is always displayed on the bottom screen along with the coordinates.

Obtaining[]

Crafting

Natural generation

Chest loot

1. Named unknown map, but changed to map 0, the scale level is 1:4, Maps from the same stack are stackable, but maps that are not stacked are unstackable despite looking identical.

Cartography Table

A map can also be created using a single paper on a cartography table to create an empty map, or a paper with a compass‌[Bedrock Edition only] for an empty locator map.

Starting map

This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition. 

When creating a new world in Bedrock Edition, the player can enable the «Starting Map» option to spawn with an empty locator map in the hotbar. If the world type is infinite or flat then zoom scale is 3⁄₄ (1:8), but if the world type is old then zoom scale is 1⁄₂ (1:4). The map is updated only while the player holds it.

In Java Edition, cartographer villagers may give players with the Hero of the Village effect an empty map.

Крафт, или как сделать карту

Используя компас и бумагу в нужном количестве, можно скрафтить карту (пустую). В этом случае он размещается в центральной ячейке верстака.

Пустая карта

Как сделать карту:

Отметим, что пустая карта для ПК-версии, консольного издания и для карманного издания, отличаются. Указанный рецепт крафта подходит для Майнкрафта Java и Legacy Console. В карманном издании, чтобы сделать пустую карту, надо все ячейки
верстака заполнить бумагой.

Карты изначально не показывают местоположение. Для добавления данной функции нужно объединить карту с компасом на наковальне (либо в сетке крафта в Windows 10 издании).

В реальной жизни существуют несколько видов компаса:

• магнитный;
• горный;
• астрономический;
• гирокомпас.

Но это еще не все — бывают компасы, ориентирующиеся на положение искусственных объектов: радиокомпас, спутниковый компас. Компас — compassio (итал.) от compassare — измерять шагами.

Компас – это предмет, который требуется для создания карты и для ориентирования на местности. Стрелка его всегда указывает на место появления (одиночный режим) или на точку нахождения , дома (многопользовательский режим). В КРАЕ и Нижних мирах он (как и часы) не работает. Его стрелка вращается произвольным образом.

• Diversified game modes consisting of Single-player mode, Multiplayer mode, and Realms.

It can also function with Better PVP mod. You are able to customize and teleport to the waypoints without needing to leave the map interface.

You can use the mouse scroll in order to choose a waypoint from the menu as well as click the right mouse button for rapidly moving the map view to the chosen waypoint in order to speed-up map scrolling.

Map Viewers[]

Map viewers are read-only and have an interactive interface.

Map Editors[]

Map editors alter an existing level’s terrain or other properties, such as player position and time of day. Some of them also let you edit your inventory and generate terrain.

Requirements

Seed

For technical reasons, you need to know the seed of your world to use Seed Map, unless, of course, you want to find a seed for a new world. If you’re playing SSP, the app is able to fetch the seed from your savegame. Alternatively, you can use the /seed command ingame. In SMP, you can use the same command if you have sufficient rights. Otherwise, however, you’re dependent on the server owner, who started the world and has access to the savegame and config files.

Browser

This app uses some relatively new web technologies. As a result, some features may be disabled for older browsers. I recommend using the latest version of a major browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari.

Limitations

Some features are not 100% accurate, i.e., locations can be wrong or missing. These include:

• Dungeons
• End Cities on Bedrock Edition
• World Spawn Positions

Various other structures such as villages and igloos can sometimes fail to generate in-game as well.

Let me know in the comments if you find any wrong or missing locations. Please make sure that:

• you entered the seed and coordinates correctly
• you selected the correct edition and version (the one used to generate the region you look at)
• you don’t use any mods that affect the world generation
• (for slime chunks) you waited long enough, since they have a very low spawn rate even in slime chunks

Note: map icons are 8×8 in Java Edition, but 16×16 in Bedrock Edition. As such, there are minor misalignment issues in Java Edition:

It should be noted that even if the player used a NBT editor to add an additional icon on the map, Minecraft shows only the first one listed when the player loads up their world.
