Everyone and welcome back to the breakdown today i’m going to teach you how to download and install custom minecraft maps worlds or saves they’re the exact same thing in 1.18.1 by the way the reason i say they’re the exact same thing is a custom world is a

Custom map is a custom save file for minecraft so keep that in mind i might use the words interchangeably here you may be looking for i’ve searched for one of those right and that’s why this video comes up because they’re all the exact same and by the way while this tutorial

That you’re seeing your screens 1.17 the video you’re watching right now will be here whenever you do come to this webpage nevertheless though let’s go ahead and first and foremost mention our sponsor which is apex minecraft hosting go to the first link down below the breakdown xyz slash apex design your

Very own 24-hour ddos project in minecraft server we actually haven’t just taken so much so we have our own server plate our breakdown craft.com on them so check out apex is the first link down below the breakdown xyz slash apex start your own minecraft server where

You can quickly and easily add a custom app thanks to apex for sponsoring this video nevertheless let’s go ahead and jump on into this the first thing you want to do to get custom maps is download one now you may already have one downloaded if that’s the case go

Ahead and press forward on your keyboard a few times because you don’t need this next part but if you don’t have a custom app or you just want to find some cool ones that you can play after the one that you have in mind here is a list

Second link down below to our website where we have 21 custom apps for minecraft now not all these are for 1.18 some of them are for older versions but we do constantly add new ones usually about once a month or once a week so depending on you know kind of what maps

Come out a new map will get added here nevertheless though we are going to be downloading from this website version 1.18 maps and it’s very very important that you do not download maps for other versions and try to run them in 1.18. in the past a 1.16.5 map for example right

If we go down all the way to the bottom like this 1.16.5 map poison probably is going to work okay in 1.17.1 that’s not the case anymore for 1.17 to 1.18 any maps that are pre 1.18 should be played in max version 1.17 any maps

Post 1.18 so 1.18 or newer maps can be played in those versions that’s because of the world generation changes that we saw in minecraft 1.18 so let’s say we were to take this you know like parkour map right here if you take this parkour map and try to load it in 1.18 it’s

Going to try to add all the new chunks and all the new blocks under this map under y0 it’s not gonna work right so that is something to keep in mind and it will break a lot of older maps if you try to play them in 1.18 so we want to

Make sure we’re downloading maps that are version 1.18.1 specifically for this video we’re going to download logic here by the way you can just click on the green download button to be taken to the download page for the maps as well as a radiant city official now i’m doing

These two specific because they’re on different download pages right so this is hosted on curseforge so when you come here you want to come over here to the right hand side on cursed words scroll down until you find the version of the map you want we’re playing 1.18 and then

Click on that orange download file next to it the download will begin after a few seconds on curseforge it’s that simple it’s that easy to download something on curseforge some maps though are hosted on minecraft maps and on minecraft maps it’s a similar process you just scroll

Down you can read a bit more about the map and everything but you just want to click on this download map button when you click on that the map will download in the bottom left right like so see pretty simple pretty easy and a great way to uh basically download the maps

That you want right there you go now we can go ahead though and minimize our browser because we have both of these maps downloaded and they’re gonna be found in your downloads folder to find that click the little windows icons in the top left of my screen probably in

The bottom of your screen but click on that little windows icon on the top bottom left your screen or if you’re on windows 10 by the way it’ll be in the center of your screen and this is where y’all will work on windows 11. we have checked it just uh click the little

Windows icon this interview screen and then you’ll be good to go nevertheless let’s go ahead and type in downloads we have this downloads file folder here open that and then in here you’ll find the map so we have the rc which is radiant city and then we have minecraft

Maps logic list right so there’s logic lists there awesome go ahead and take and drag and drop these to your desktop now one of the hardest parts about installing a custom save file is they have to be unzipped and if you just unzip these files and then add them to

Minecraft they’re not going to work so this is where it gets very important and it’s very very key that you go through and kind of follow what we’re doing here because it is like i said the hardest part of getting a map so once you’ve got

Your map it’ll most likely be a dot zip file if you don’t see dot zip that’s okay as long as you know it was like this little zip icon right here or if you’ve installed winrar in the past i kind of recommend uninstalling it nevertheless if you have installed

Winrar in the past you might have a winrar or 7-zip file if that’s the case the door is going to be a bit different but it’ll be similar nevertheless though let’s go ahead and right-click on this and then click extract all now if you do have winrar or 7-zip uninstall it but if

You do go ahead and you know i think it’s extract or extract key or something like that on those it’s a bit different but for vanilla what you have no other file managers like winrar wins or 7-zip just right-click and click on extract all and then click extract and you want

To do this for any maps you want to install so right now we’re doing it for the logic list and then we’re going to do it for radiant city here so boom there we go and then we’re gonna go ahead and right click extract all on radiant city extract and now it’s

Extracting there we go the map is now extracted over here on the left-hand side we have two folders that are not zip files we can now remove these zip files or we don’t need those anymore but what we do need is um these right we need both of these folders now before

You just go ahead and be like i’m done you got to do the hard part this is where it gets confusing and where things can be different for everyone who installs a custom map so what you want to do is go ahead and open up this folder and then most likely you’re going

To have another folder in here open that up and then you may even have another folder right but as soon as you see something like this advancements data dim one dim-1 or you know you have things like a region folder any of these folders and you might not have all of

Them you probably won’t but any of these folders are what you’re looking for right once you see folders like this as well as like you know a level and icon different things like that you’re good to go right you are good to go so once

You’ve got that what we want to do is go ahead and press the back arrow in the top left and then drag this to our desktop right like so now this was a little weird because it basically took the folder we had and converted that and

Added these to it like this that’s not always going to happen and i’m guessing it’s not going to happen with logic list here so let’s go ahead and do that one and so logic list we want to open that up and then boom there’s logic list we

Double click on it and then we see those folders as you can see data dim1 dim-1 as well as level things like that right again i don’t have all these folders might have all these files but you’ll have some of them that’s all you need

Then click back in the top left and now we have logic list we can drag and drop that to the desktop now as i said logic list didn’t kind of like go back into this folder that’s because it was named differently than radiant city was

So at this point we now have this kind of like empty minecraftmaps.com logic list folder we can go ahead and delete that right we don’t need that what we need is logic list and rc here so how do we check and make sure these are correct

Well as soon as you open the folder you should see this right you should see these files as soon as you open the folder if you don’t go ahead and do the process again right drag that to your desktop so on and so forth until the file you open up

Immediately shows you these folders and files right radiant city is the same way as soon as we open it up we see these folders and files they are now good to go at this point we go and get them installed to do this you want to click

The little windows icon again top left from my screen probably in the bottom of your screen or on windows button in the center of your screen click on that and then tap on run and then you want to open up the run app here once you’ve

Opened up the run app you want to type percent app data percent sign in the text box so percent sign app data percent sign or write like so in the text box and click ok this thing can open up your roaming folder and in here you’ll have a dot minecraft folder open

That up and then in here you’ll have a saves folder this is where we’re going to drag and drop our minecraft worlds that we want to install so just take your custom apps drag and drop them from your desktop into the saves folder right like so now we want

To go ahead and open up minecraft 1.18 or 1.18.1 recommend playing on 1.18.1 honestly at this point so go ahead and open up minecraft 1.18.1 here nothing special just open up minecraft i will see you on the minecraft main menu so here we are in the minecraft main menu

And to find your maps click on single player and there they are we have radiant city up here at the top and then if we scroll down there is a logic list we’ve also got some other maps in here that are just kind of my maps i’m just

Going to delete these because it gets in the way there we go so now we have the logic list map and radiant city now one of the key things here is that when you open these you shouldn’t need to convert them oddly enough though radiant city

Has kind of lied to us it says it’s 117 one but it’s not right you can open it as long as you can open these maps without getting a warning a conversion warning something like that you’re good to do so right you are good to open the

Maps if it says are you sure you want to open this map it’s for an older version it’s probably going to break for 118 one and that’s just unfortunate that’s probably not going to be the case for 1.19 that’s probably not going to be the case in the future but for right now

1.18 maps can only be played in 1.18 1.17 and before maps can only be played in 1.17 and before and if you take anything away from this video other than how to install maps it should be that right that is a very very key thing and

I i stressing it a lot because if it asks you to convert a map the map is probably going to break it’s probably not going to work so nevertheless and again that’s probably going to be true for one to 18 maps and 1.19 but it is currently true

So nevertheless here we are in radian city this is like an adventure map it’s honestly really really cool i think it spawned me in a in spectator here which uh it’s very weird but nevertheless awesome map tons and tons of stuff to explore and look at and i mean look at these builds

Anyway this isn’t an advertisement for this map or anything i just i just think it’s a really cool map i love city build so there we have that and then we do have logic list as well which is a puzzle map i believe awesome map in and

Of itself but as you can see it is version 1.18 and we’re good to open it up now oddly it’s asking if we want to convert this but it should be fine i just did a big speech so you shouldn’t do this but it says it’s version 1.18 so

We should be good to do this always create a backup and load though just in case right if you do that you should be good very odd though that it just did that when it should be a 118 map i don’t understand by the way the reason it’s

Reloading like this is it’s loading custom textures which is something we’re seeing more and more of so nevertheless here we are in the map very odd that it had us it had us do that i don’t understand why uh it had us do a conversion warning when it was

Native and uh it shouldn’t have done that anyway nonetheless thank you all so so much for watching i’m glad i did that at the end there but overall most of the time you should not have to do that and if you do it’s probably not the best you

Should probably go play it in the version that it says and i’m guessing if we launched 1.18 even we wouldn’t have had to have done that conversion it was where we went to 18 1. but nevertheless there you have it that is how you can add maps to minecraft 1.18 and again

Convert maps at your own risk if you do want to do that just create a backup and then you’ll be good and you can access that backup by going into run and then going back into percent app data percent going back into dot minecraft and then there’s backups and right there it is

You can see there’s a logic list that we had so nevertheless thanks so much for watching if you enjoyed the video give it a thumbs up subscribe the channel for more incredible content every single day of the week my name is nick and i’m out peace
