How to transfer Minecraft Worlds from one macbook to another

  1. Open Finder and navigate to the folder containing Minecraft Worlds.

    1. Press Cmd+Shift+. to show hidden folders and files.

    2. Go to Macintosh HD > Users > [USERNAME] > Library > Application support > Minecraftpe > Games > com.mojang > Minecraft Worlds

    3. Your worlds will appear as a random selection of symbols, letters and numbers. You can find the world you are looking for by opening the World folder, locating the levelname.txt file and locating the proper saved world name such as “UOI3” or “Hour of Code”.

  2. Once you have located your world folder, select all of the files in the folder and compress them into a .zip file.

    Compress the folder contents into a .zip file.

  3. You will now have a file called Archive.zip. Airdrop this file to the macbook you are trying to send the world to.

  4. On the second macbook, change the name and extension type from Archive.zip to worldname.mcworld by right clicking on the file and clicking Get Info, then look for the Name & Extension. Make sure the Hide extension box is not checked.
