Prerequisites

• I am using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS for this tutorial. Other distributions may use different archive software, but the .minecraft location is the same
• An archiver utility, such as Archive Manager (file-roller) may be needed. Some files come as .RAR, which cannot be extracted without unrar (non-free) or unrar-free. ZIPs can be handled with Archive Manager as well.

Obtain the world save

• Download your save with a web browser such as Chromium, @@@#@@@Google(google.com)###@### Chrome or Firefox.

Unzip the file

This is necessary if your file comes as a .ZIP or .RAR.

• Extract the file. Right click and choose Extract Here.
• If you see a folder named data and a file named session.lock, then you`re good to go! Extract the folders to your desktop.
• If not, the files are probably there, you just have to dig deeper. Some might have two folders named Mac OS X and your_save. Check every folder until you see data and session.lock. Once you find them, extract the folders to your desktop.

Put the files into Minecraft

Now that we have the files, we`re going to put them in Minecraft`s core folder.

• Copy the folder off your desktopa desktop is a computer (Copy the folder one directory above data and session.lock. For instance, if my data folder and session.lock file are located in your_save next to Mac OS X under your_save_multi.RAR, I would copy the your_save folder.
• Open Files (nautilus) and press Ctrl+L to enter a location. Now type ~/.minecraft/saves. You`re at your Minecraft saves folder, and you`ll notice all your worlds are here, too.
• Paste the folder (CTRL + V) into the saves folder. (If this doesn`t work, make sure you have permission to write to the folder. Right click on the saves folder and select properties. Click on the permissions tab in the pop-up window and make sure the box under "Owner" says "Create and delete files". Alternatively, open the terminal (Ctr+Alt+t) and type "chmod u+w ~/.minecraft/saves" without the quotes.)
• Open the new folder and check to make sure it has these folders in it, all right under "your_save."
  • data
  • DIM-1
  • DIM1
  • players
  • region
  • level.dat
  • levl.dat_mcr
  • level.dat_old
  • session.lock
• Once they`re all there, close .minecraft .minecraft (or simply minecraft in macOS) is the folder Minecraft creates to run from. This folder includes the .jar files, sound, music, resource packs, personal options, worlds, etc. Locating .minecraft Locating the .minecraft folder is and launch the actual game

Alternate directions for downloading a saved map into Minecraft for Windows

If you found the above directions confusing, here`s a simpler explanation:

1. Download the .zip or .rar saved file and unzip

2. Search for your .minecraft folder in your programs folder

3. Look for the "saves" folder

4. Create a new save folder and then copy all unzipped content into that folder (session.lock, data folder, etc.)

5. Done, open up Minecraft and it will be in your selection of saved worlds.

Place the files into Minecraft

Place the folder in /Users/USER/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves. If your minecraft folder is in a different location, use that location instead. if you are unable to find the folder: open Minecraft, go to resource packs, click open resource packs folder, and then back track from there.

Troubleshooting

If the save is not in Minecraft:

• Check to see if you have a folder inside a folder.
• Check if you forgot to unzip the folder.
• Check if Minecraft is using a different minecraft folder.

Find the save in Minecraft

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

• Once Minecraft launches, click "Singleplayer"
• The name of the folder you copied will be the grayed out name under the world name. Most likely, the save will be called "world"
• 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.

Once you find it, load it up and have fun!
