I've watched lots of Minecraft videos on YouTube, where they tell you to "extract the Minecraft map", but none of them explain exactly what I need to do to get that map imported into Minecraft, once I've downloaded it.
What exactly do I need to do to get a custom map available within the game?
I'm using Windows 10 and Minecraft version 1.8.8.
Fix: First, rename your old lwjgl version directory. Second, copy the new lwjgl directory there, with the exact same file and subfolder structure as the old one. Next, use the Windows mklink command with the /j flag to create a directory junction, using the same name as the old lwjgl directory. This will make Minecraft think it's going to the old directory when, in fact, it's going to the new one.
You have "Hide extensions for known file types" turned on, and JAR files are registered with some program (likely either java or 7z). That means that the 1.8.1 file you see is in fact 1.8.1.jar, but Windows just hides the .jar part.
Knowing this, you can right-click the file and select Open With > 7zip (or any other zipping program) even though the extension is hidden.
To show all extensions, open any folder and click on Organize > Folder and Search Options. In the View tab, under advanced settings, uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types.
