•What are all of the options and settings when managing worlds in Minecraft?
Setting up a world is the essential first step to playing Minecraft. There's a ton of options that can overwhelm new players who don't understand what everything refers to, but it's easy to grasp with a little bit of direction.
To set-up a new world in Minecraft, follow these steps:
•Open Minecraft on your device or console. If you're playing on Xbox, Playstation, Windows 10, Android, iOS, or Switch, it all starts with opening Minecraft.
•Tap or click on the "Play" button directly below the Minecraft logo on the main menu.
•This will bring up a new screen with three tabs. Tap or click on the "Create New" button below the "World" tab.
•This might bring up a "Create" screen with some pre-built templates available to buy in the community marketplace. Tap or click on the "Create New World" button at the top of the screen to skip this.
Managing worlds you've created is even easier than creating them, if you know where to look. Managing your worlds is useful for altering settings you need to change, changing the type of game you're playing, or even activating cheats. All of these options are explained in the next section, but here we'll go over how to manage your worlds in the first place.
To manage an existing world in Minecraft, follow these steps:
•Start by opening Minecraft on your device or console.
•Tap or click on the "Play" button directly below the Minecraft logo on the main menu.
•This should open up a screen with three tabs along the top. Look for the world you want to manage in the list under the "Worlds" tab, below the "Create New" button.
•Tap or click on the "Edit" button to the right of the world's name. It'll look a bit like a pencil or crayon writing something down.
Minecraft is all about freedom, and that means even creating or editing worlds comes with a huge number of options for you to choose from. These range from as little as answering questions like "Does fire spread?" to huge changes like "How about you're immortal and you have infinite access to all resources and items?" Whatever you want, the power is yours to make that decision.
Here are all of the options you can change when creating a world or managing a world in Minecraft:
The first section you'll see in the left-hand side navigation menu is going to be the "Game" section. This is where the majority of settings are located. The settings in the "Game" section are:
•World name. This is the name for the world, which you can change at any time. Useful for making sure you know which worlds are which.
•Default Game Mode. This changes what kind of game you're playing. Survival is classic Minecraft, where you have to scavenge and craft everything you need, and it's up to you to survive the perils of Minecraft by managing your health and hunger levels. Creative is for creating and building, where you don't have to worry about health, monsters, or danger of any kind. Instead, you get access to every resource and item in the game and the ability to fly.
•Difficulty. This changes how hard the game is. Peaceful removes most monsters, and makes existing monsters pacifist. Easy adds all the monsters, but makes them have less health and deal less damage. Normal increases both, and hard takes it a step further. These difficulties don't make much difference in Creative.
•World Preferences. Lets you choose if you want to start with a map, or if you want a bonus chest to spawn nearby. Starting with a map is helpful for navigation, while the bonus chest gives players a few handy items like wooden tools and apples. These options are great for beginning players, but experienced players may like the challenge and can turn these off.
•Player permission when joining from invite. This option lets you set the default permission levels for new players joining your world via an invite you sent. By default this makes them Members, so that they can mine, place, and use everything in your world but can't alter world settings. You can also make players Visitors, so they can't affect anything in the world, or Operators, who have special controls over the world and other players.
The second section available to tinker with your worlds is the "Multiplayer" section. This section is far smaller than the "Game" section but is still handy to have access to. All of these options are the same for creating and editing worlds. Here's all of the settings you can find here:
•Multiplayer Game. This is a toggle to simply turn on or off multiplayer in this world. If the toggle is off, no online play with other players will be allowed. This will also grey out the other options in this section.
•Microsoft Account Settings. This setting changes who can join your multiplayer games. By default, this is set to "Friends of Friends." You can change it to "Friends Only" or "Invite Only."
•Visible to LAN Players. This will change if other players on the same network can also see and join your game.
Add-Ons are different packs you can install that change the core of Minecraft, sometimes in subtle ways and sometimes in drastic ones. There are two different kinds of Add-Ons, both of which are available from the Community Marketplace. Those Add-Ons are:
•Resource Packs. These packs are usually things that change the look of Minecraft, or add something on top of Minecraft. For most people, this is going to mean Texture Packs, which change the graphics of Minecraft. Some Texture Packs follow themes of popular franchises like Halo, while others are unique and original.
Sometimes a world exceeds its usefulness, and it's time to free up a little more space on your device or console. Fortunately, deleting your worlds in Minecraft is almost as easy as creating new ones, so you can clear out old worlds you don't play anymore whenever you want.
To delete worlds in Minecraft, follow these steps:
•Make sure you're in the right place by opening Minecraft on your device or console.
•Tap or click **on the "Play" button* directly below the Minecraft logo on the main menu.
•This will bring up a screen with three tabs along the top. Look for the world you want to delete in the list under the "Worlds" tab, below the "Create New" button.
•Tap or click on the "Edit" button to the right of the world's name. It'll look a bit like a pencil or crayon writing something down.
There may be times in your Minecraft life that you upgrade from an older console like an Xbox 360 to a newer one, or that you simply get a new device and want to make sure to have your oldest worlds brought along with you. Fortunately, Minecraft does their very best to make this as seamless as possible for you, so that you never have to worry about where your worlds are.
When you're moving between different versions or devices on Xbox or Windows it's incredibly easy. As long as you have cloud saves enabled on your account (you definitely should,) older worlds should appear in the list of worlds. In these cases, the worlds will be greyed out to signify that the world comes from another version or device. If you tap or click on that greyed out world, Minecraft should sync all the necessary data for you (and possibly convert the world if you're coming over from a different version.) If the world truly is an "Old" world (meaning it isn't infinite,) you can change that after it has been converted by editing the world's settings.
To change a world from "Old" to "Infinite," follow these steps:
•Start by opening Minecraft on your device or console.
•Tap or click on the "Play" button directly below the Minecraft logo on the main menu.
•This should open up a screen with three tabs along the top. Look for the world you want to manage in the list under the "Worlds" tab, below the "Create New" button.
Once you've mastered the art of managing your worlds, there's nothing stopping you from having a different adventure for every occasion. And some secrets worlds that your friends aren't allowed in. Minecraft is about freedom of expression, after all, and that of course includes having as many different worlds as you want.
