I downloaded a map and extracted the .zip
, then I went into the MC launcher, went to edit profile, clicked on open game dir, went into my saves folder, then I transferred my map to that folder, reloaded Minecraft, went into the singleplayer menu, and now I can't find the map. Not only that, but the maps that I created are gone as well!
Does anyone know how to fix this?

That is the right way, but make sure what you are dragging in is a folder with files like
level.dat
inside directly, not something likedir/to/Map/
which has a folder in it likeParkour
, which is the actual map. If there is alevel.dat
directly in the folder you dragged in to yoursaves
folder, you should be good.Without more information, all I can suggest is,
Edit Profile
in the Minecraft launcher, is the box that saysGame Directory
unchecked? (Or, is it correct if you actually use this feature?)saves
in the.minecraft
(orminecraft
on a Mac) folder? Access it using theOpen Game Dir
button, or go to the search bar and type%appdata%
and find.minecraft
on Windows, or go to~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/
on a Mac. If not, you likely can't get them back without a backup.
