Where do I find the map after installing?

After importing the .mcworld file, go to Play → scroll through your worlds list. The new map should appear there. If you have many worlds, it might be at the bottom of the list. You can also sort by \"Most Recent\" to find it quickly.

Can I play downloaded maps in multiplayer?

Yes! Once the map is imported, you can open it to LAN for local multiplayer, or upload it to a Realm to play with friends online. Note that some adventure maps are designed for single-player only.

\"Import started\" not appearing - what should I do?

Make sure you're tapping \"Open in Minecraft\" or \"Open with Minecraft\" when the download completes. If the file downloads but nothing happens, locate the file in your Downloads folder and tap it to open. On iOS, you may need to use the Files app. On Android, check your file manager. Make sure Minecraft is installed before attempting to import.

Mod not showing in Add-Ons section

First, make sure the import was successful (you should have seen \"Successfully imported\"). Go to Settings → Storage → Resource Packs/Behavior Packs to verify the mod is installed. If it's there but not in Add-Ons, try creating a new world and checking the Add-Ons section again. Some mods only appear after enabling Experiments.

Experiments not working or grayed out

Experiments can only be enabled when creating a NEW world. You cannot enable experiments on an existing world. Create a new world and immediately go to the Experiments section before adding any add-ons. Turn on \"Holiday Creator Features\" and other experimental toggles your mod requires.
