Ways to share Minecraft worlds with friends
1) Share the world file
One of the easiest ways to share Minecraft worlds with friends is to share the world file with them. It is a fairly easy method, and players can just send the world to their friends so they can explore and enjoy the unique features of the seed.
Here's how you can share the world file:
- Locate the installation directory for the world.
- For the Java edition, head to the .minecraft folder and locate the saves folder. Once you have found the world you need, simply copy the entire folder to a different location. Now, you can use Google Drive or any other hosting service to share the folder with your friends.
- For the Bedrock edition, follow the same steps and locate the .mcworld file and then share with your friends.
Some users might face issues while trying to locate the .mcworld file. They can refer to the handy Minecraft Bedrock files location guide to locate the save file for their respective devices. Once found, simply share the world with your friends and dive into the adventures of the same seed.

2) Host a Realms session
Another great way to share Minecraft worlds is by hosting a Realms session or a server. This will essentially facilitate multiplayer abilities, allowing your friends to join in on the fun and yearn for the mines together.
Simply open Minecraft and head to the Realms tab. Click on the pencil icon next to the Realm you wish to share and head over to the 'Manage Members' tab. Select 'Members' and use the 'Share link' option to generate a unique URL which you can then send to your friends. It is a great way for players to enjoy the same worlds and play together without the hassle of sending world files.
