Hi everyone,

how is it possible to creare custom world templates?

Following some video tutorial about how to create .mctemplate file I wasn't able to do that manually. Basically what's suggested online is to start from a saved world, then create a manifest.json file with some information in it. Sadly I'm stuck on the uuid parameter and trying to import my custom template I receive an error. Also to me it seems somewhat too complex and "magic" this way....

Is there an official/better way to do that?

Thanks for any help.

  Thanks, did that and found a super clear tutorial by EduElfie

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiQYWbTjdOw

  I try to summarize here the video tutorial:

  1. Create and save a world that will became a template. Before saving remember to clear your inventory and set the spawnpoint wherever you want
  2. Export the world, exit minecraft and locate it in your computer
  3. Rename the .mcworld file exported in .zip and extract its content
  4. Open the folder with the extracted content and create a new file called manifest.json with the following template
     

     {
        "format_version" : 1,
        "header" : {
           "description" : "DESCRIPTION HERE",
           "name" : "NAME HERE",
           "uuid" : "b8cea4a2-f311-459e-a0bd-692c8602956e",
           "version" : [ 1, 0, 0 ]
        },
        "metadata" : {
           "authors" : [ "YOU DID THIS" ],
           "url" : "YOUR WEBSITE HERE"
        },
        "modules" : [
           {
              "description" : "Not Needed",
              "type" : "world_template",
              "uuid" : "23168ea1-9707-4a8c-88e5-08ae93ec083f",
              "version" : [ 1, 0, 0 ]
           }
        ]
     }

  5. Replace the uppercase part in description, name, authors and url with your information
  6. Replace the two uuid with a unique id, you can use this site to generate them
  7. Save the manifest.json file
  8. Compress the folder and rename the compressed .zip file in .mctemplate

  Now you can double-click on it and open in Minecraft: Education Edition. TIP: You can delete a world tempalte only from the Storage panel under Settings.

  Thanks a lot to EduElfie for the youtube tutorial and the help on Discord forum :)
