Installing custom maps on Java Edition Find a map you'd like to install via a custom map site like minecraftmaps.com and download it via the provided download link.

On Java, things are often a little complicated and installing downloaded maps is no different. The first step for any of this is to download the map.

"Minecraft" maps can be downloaded for free from community sites like Minecraft Maps or CurseForge, and then played on and edited.

Keen to download Minecraft for PC and not sure where to start? We've got you. It isn't nearly as hard to do as it used to be.
