How to open a save file on a Mac

Here's how to open a downloaded save file on a Mac!

Instructions:

  • Download The Unarchiver. The default archive utility cannot open the downloaded zip file properly, and only this alternate utility can open it properly. (Let me know if you find another one!)

  • Make sure you have the zipped save file you want to open with you on your Mac.
  • Right-click the file instead of double-clicking it. Unzip the file with The Unarchiver.

  • Now, once you have your save folder, navigate to: User/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves.

  • Drag in the downloaded save folder into the Application Support saves.

How to install the Flat Land map on a Mac

Hey guys!

I have received lots of messages requesting for a tutorial on getting the "flat grass 1024x1024" map. So, here is the link to the download.


This save file is opened in a different way from what kiwiman has mentioned before. This one can be unzipped normally without The Unarchiver.

Instructions.
  1. Download the zip file.
  2. Locate the downloaded file and unzip it normally.
  3. Open a new Finder window.
  4. Navigate to User/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves
  5. Drag the file into the "saves" folder
  6. Open the Minecraft Client and select the Flatland save.
Note: The Minecraft client will ask you to convert this save file. This is normal. Just click on the map and play the map, and it will convert automatically.

Here's a link to a site with some nice saves for downloading! Minecraft World Share
