## 1. Download the world

1. In **Console**, click **Stop** so the world is fully saved.
2. In **Files**, open the `worlds` folder. Your world is the folder named after `level-name` in `server.properties` (by default `Bedrock level`).
3. Compress that folder into a `.zip` and download it.

## 2. Turn it into a .mcworld

A `.mcworld` file is a zip with the world's files at its top level.

1. Open the zip on your computer. If `level.dat` is inside a folder, take the files out of that folder and zip them again, so `level.dat` is at the top.
2. Rename the zip from `.zip` to `.mcworld`.

## 3. Open it

- **Windows:** double-click the `.mcworld` file. Minecraft imports it.
- **Android / iOS:** open the file from your files app and choose Minecraft.

The world appears in your **Worlds** list.

> [!NOTE]
> Consoles can't import `.mcworld` files directly. Import it on Windows or a phone first, then use Realms or the same account to get it across.
