Duplicating a world in Minecraft Java Edition can be done easily through the game’s built-in functionality. Here’s how to do it:
### Method 1: Using the Minecraft Launcher
1. **Open the Minecraft Launcher**: Start the Minecraft launcher where you usually log in and select your version.
2. **Select "Singleplayer"**: From the main menu, click on "Singleplayer" to view your worlds.
3. **Locate the World**: Find the world you want to duplicate in the list of your saved worlds.
4. **Select the World**: Highlight the world but do not click on it.
5. **Edit World**: Click on the "Edit" button (this will look like a pencil icon).
6. **Copy World**: In the world settings, look for the "Copy World" button or option. Click it, and it will create a copy of the selected world.
7. **Return to World List**: You will now see a duplicated version of your world in the world list with the name usually appended with " - Copy." You can rename it if you wish.
### Method 2: Manually Copying the World Folder
If you want to duplicate a world outside of the game, you can do it through the file system:
1. **Open the Minecraft Directory**:
- Press `Windows + R` on Windows, type `%appdata%\.minecraft\saves`, and hit Enter.
- On macOS, open `Finder`, hold the `Option` key, click `Go`, and then select `Library`. Go to `Application Support/minecraft/saves`.
2. **Locate Your World Folder**: In the `saves` folder, you'll see folders named after your worlds. Find the folder corresponding to the world you want to duplicate.
3. **Copy the World Folder**: Right-click on the world folder and select "Copy."
4. **Paste the World Folder**: Right-click in the `saves` directory and select "Paste." This will create a duplicate folder in the same directory.
5. **Rename the Duplicated Folder**: You may want to rename the duplicated folder to avoid confusion (for example, adding “_Copy” at the end).
6. **Open Minecraft**: Start Minecraft, and the duplicated world should appear in your singleplayer world list.
### Notes
- Always make sure to back up your worlds regularly to avoid loss.
- If you’re using mods or resource packs, ensure that they are compatible with the duplicated world.
Now you should be able to enjoy your duplicated Minecraft world!
