So, you’re itching to explore or show off your Minecraft creations, but you’re not quite sure how to add a map to your game? No worries, we’ve got you covered!
Quick Steps to Add a Map in Minecraft
Adding a map to your Minecraft game is simpler than you might think. First, you need to create a map. You can do this by crafting a map from 8 pieces of paper and 1 compass. Once you have your map, it’s ready to use! However, if you’re looking to add a pre-made map, the process involves a few more steps.
For PC and Mac users, downloading a map from the internet and then placing it into the ‘saves’ folder within your Minecraft directory is the way to go. Console and mobile gamers will need to use their system’s content management features to import maps.
