How to Install Maps on a Minecraft Server

Minecraft is a square modeled sandbox game. You can create your own worlds and have fun building up houses, and protecting them from Sniping Skeletons, Attacking Zombies, and Exploding Creepers; or you can install a Minecraft Map and have an adventure that someone already set up for you. But some maps are more fun when you have a buddy, so in this post I’m going to teach you how to install a map on your Minecraft server.

First off, here’s a link to a post I made on how to create a Minecraft server: go.geekon.in/mcserver

  1. Open the minecraft server’s folder, and locate the folder entitled “World”.
    Rename that folder as “Default” and refresh the folder.
  2. Locate the folder on your computer that contains the map inside it.
    Drag-and-Drop it into the server folder, and rename it “World”.

It’s as easy as that.

NOTE: MAKE SURE THE “level-name=” IS “World”
