Loading Custom Maps, and Seed Lists!

Vanilla Minecraft, as in simply using randomly generated maps, can be fun, but after a time a new challenge is needed. If you have recently found the world you started on growing rather old your not alone, and many people have taken up the task of trying to build new arenas for you to play on.

First things first we have to find a map. There are many places to get them, but this is a good starting point. On your PC, go to "http://www.minecraftmaps.com/ " and find one you like. They have real world recreations, puzzles, rollercoasters etc. Download the one you want and follow these instructions.

Mac:

1.) Go to the download folder, extract the .zip and copy the file folder.
2.) Find your username, select "library", then "application support", then "minecraft", then "saves"
3.) Paste file folder into "saves" folder


Windows XP:

1.) Go to the download folder, extract the .zip and copy the file folder.
2.) Go to my computer. Go to Users. Go to your profile. Select "AppData".
3.) Now select "Roaming", and then ".minecraft", and open the "saves" folder.
4.) Paste the folder into the "saves" folder.



Windows 7:
1.) Go to the download folder, extract the .zip and copy the file folder.
2.) Hit the start button. In the search, type in "%appdata%
3.) Select "Roaming", then ".minecraft" in that
4.) Paste the folder into the "saves" folder.

Another way of getting more areas to play in is seeds. Seeds are how the map generates(in a nutshell). You enter them in before you make a map. To find a good one, visit this site and browse for one you like "http://www.minecraftseeds.info/"
