Quick Guide to Downloading Maps
First things first, find a reputable website that offers Minecraft Java Edition maps. Websites like Planet Minecraft or MinecraftMaps.com are great places to start. Choose a map that catches your eye and download it.
Once you’ve downloaded your map, you’ll need to locate the “saves” folder in your Minecraft Java Edition directory. If you’re playing on Windows, you can usually find this in the ‘C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft’ folder. On Mac, it’s in ‘~/Library/Application Support/minecraft’. Simply drag the downloaded map (usually a folder or a zip file) into the “saves” folder.
