Download Minecraft Maps

Minecraft is a world of infinite creativity, and the almost limitless selection of maps available online is a testament to that. You can find maps to suit any taste, from simple to incredibly complex, all created by other players and shared for the community. You can add maps to the computer version of Minecraft or for Minecraft Pocket Edition (PE) on your iOS or Android device.

Steps

Installing Pocket Edition Maps on iOS

  1. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer. If iTunes opens, you can close it. You will be using a different program to access the files on your iOS device.
    • Unless you have a jailbroken iOS device, which can be quite a hassle, you'll need to connect your iOS device to your computer first in order to copy map files onto it.
  2. Download a map file on your computer. You can find map files from various sites online, or you can receive them from your friends. Maps for Minecraft PE are different than maps for the PC version, so make sure you are downloading the correct files. Some of the more popular map resources online include:
    • Planet Minecraft Projects
    • Minecraft Forum (Maps section)
    • Minecraft Maps
  3. Open the downloaded map file. If the map is a ZIP file, you can just double-click it to open it. If the file is a RAR file, you can download and use 7-Zip, one of the most popular free utilities that can open ZIP and RAR files. Click the Extract button and you will be asked for a location to extract to. Place the extracted folder somewhere you can easily find it.
  4. Download and install an iOS transfer program. You will need a program that will allow you to Copy-Music-from-Your-iPod-to-Your-iTunes-Library without going through iTunes. One of the more popular options is iFunBox, which is available for free.
  5. Find the data for your Minecraft app. In iFunBox, click the Managing App Data tab. Browse the list for your Minecraft PE app. Open the following folders:
    • Documents → games → com.mojang → minecraftWorlds
  6. Copy the extracted folder. Place the downloaded and extracted map folder into the “minecraftWorlds” folder in iFunBox. You can click and drag the folder into the iFunBox window to quickly copy it. Once the folder has copied, you can disconnect your iPhone or iPad.
  7. Play the map. Start Minecraft PE on your device. You will see your new map in your Worlds list. You can select it to begin playing it just like any other saved game.[1]

Installing Pocket Edition Maps on Android

  1. Download a file manager app. In order to install maps directly from your Android phone or tablet, you'll need a file manager app. This will allow you to extract the downloaded map file and place it in the correct location so that Minecraft can read it.
    • Two of the most popular apps for installing maps are AndroZip and ES File Explorer.
  2. Download a Pocket Edition map file using your device's browser. The ZIP file will be downloaded to the "Downloads" folder on your device.
    • Make sure that the map you are downloading has been made for Pocket Edition
  3. Open your file manager app. You will see a list of folder on your Android device.
  4. Open the Downloads folder.
  5. Tap your downloaded map file.

  8. Start your game. You will be able to select your new map from the Worlds list. You can select it to begin playing it just like any other saved game.
    • You can also use the "Maps for Minecraft PE 2014" app to browse through a large collection of different maps that can be installed with a couple taps.
