Once you have selected your map, click Download Map. If you want to search for more maps you can use another website: https://www.planetminecraft.com/projects/. Once you get there, use the search filters and select downloadable. This will give you access to maps that you will be able to download. Once you have selected your map, click Download Schematic.

Go to file explorer and open the downloads tab. Once you are there, take the folder of the map to the desktop. Right click on the folder and click Extract All.

Open the folder and see if it as folders such as:

• advancements
• data
• datapacks
• DIM1
• DIM-1
• entities
• generated
• playdata
• poi
• region

If the folder has all of these folders listed, leave them alone. If it does not, the map will not work.

Go to the desktop search bar and type Run. Run command is used to open an application or document. Once you open the Run app, type this in the textbox: %appdata% and click OK. Doing this will result in the Roaming folder being open.

On the roaming folder, you will see a folder that says: .minecraft

Once you open that there will be a saves folder. This is where you will drag the map folder into the saves folder. Then launch Minecraft and the map will show up on the "Select World" menu.

Right click the folder of the map you downloaded and copy. In file explorer, go to the Flashdrive and paste it.
