From there, use your Window's File Explorer or Mac's Finder to find the mod file you downloaded, and then drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste the file into the proper Forge mods folder. On Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition (if you installed it from the Windows Store) the files are saved here: C:UsersName of UserAppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.MinecraftUWP8wekyb3d8bbweLocalStategamescom.mojangminecraftWorlds (Change 'Name of User' to your User folder is called). I am showing you a tutorial and how to fix the issue that people can't find their games folder. It's very simple, all you have do is check the Hidden.
.minecraft (or simply minecraft in macOS) is the folder Minecraft creates to run from. This folder includes the .jar files, sound, music, resource packs, personal options, worlds, etc.
Locating .minecraft[edit]
Below is a table showing the default directory for .minecraft.
| OS | Location |
|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%.minecraft |
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft |
| Linux | ~/.minecraft |
Locating the .minecraft folder can be vital for installing a resource pack, or to locate any made screenshots.
The Windows location in the table above is just the default case. Launchers can set the .minecraft at any path.
If you're a Windows user and are unfamiliar with how to find your appdata folder, follow these steps:
- Click Start → Run. If you don't see 'Run', press ⊞ Windows + R.
- Type
%APPDATA%.minecraftand click 'OK'.
If you're a Mac user, you can open the folder through Spotlight:
- Press ⌘ Command + Space or open the Spotlight popup through the magnifying glass icon on the right of the Menu Bar.
- Type
~/Library/Application Support/minecraftand hit ↵ Enter.
On Linux or macOS, the ~ in the path refers to the home directory. Folders starting with a . are hidden by default. In most file managers, hitting Ctrl + H toggles their hidden status. In macOS specifically, since version 10.12 (Sierra), the shortcut ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + . toggles the hidden status of files.
If you want to change directory of the .minecraft folder, see Tutorials/Custom Minecraft directory.
.minecraft file hierarchy[edit]
Use of a resource pack can be forced by naming its zip file to resources.zip and placing it in the root folder of the world save.[1] This feature is single-player only;[2] however, there is another way for servers to ask clients if they want to use the server resource pack.
For windows OS and linux, the contents of nativelog.txt and nativeUpdaterLog.txt can be found within launcher_log.txt when applicable (i.e. the contents ofnativeUpdaterLog.txt will only be present in latest_log.txt after the launcher is updated / launched for the first time).

Text Guide
Some maps (or worlds) in Minecraft are downloaded as a .mcworld / .mcpack file. To install such files go to your Downloads folder. Find the file and double-click it to install it and it will be automatically imported to your game. It might ask you to select an app to open it with. Just select to open it with Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta.
However, most maps are downloaded as a .ZIP or .RAR file. Use the following tutorial if that's what you downloaded:
1. Begin by downloading a map of your by clicking here. In this tutorial we decided to download The Relic of Riverwood which is a fun adventure map.
2. The download will include a zip (or a rar file). It is a compressed file which needs to be extracted before we can use its contents. To do this we will use WinRAR. Go ahead and download it if you don't already have it installed on your computer.
3. Open the downloaded zip using WinRAR. In the zip file is the world folder of the map which you downloaded. In our case it's named The relic of Riverwood – MCPE adv. map.
Click on it once to select it and then click on the Extract To button.
4. A new window will pop up. Here you can select where you want the folder to be extracted. Personally, I think it's best to use the Downloads folder for this which in my case is called 'Hämtade filer' but you can use any location you want as long you know how to find it. Click OK when you have selected a location.
5. Worlds in Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition are stored in the following location:
To open this location copy the location above to your clipboard (CTRL + C). Then press the Windows Start button in the bottom-left corner of your screen. Then click File Explorer.

Paste (CTRL + V) the location into the area marked with red in the image below and press enter.
Alright, now you've located where all your worlds (also known as maps) in Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition are stored. Don't close this window, we'll head back here very soon.
6. The next thing you want to do is to locate the folder where you previously chose to extract the folder. In our case, we chose to use the Downloads folder.
Let's open the Downloads folder, select the downloaded map and copy (CTRL + C) the folder.
7. Get back to the window where all your Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition worlds are saved. Paste (CTRL + V) your map in this folder.
