Where Can I Find My Minecraft Saves on a Backup Drive?

Asked By CuriousCat42 On

Hey everyone! A while back, my MacBook Air M1 2020 broke; the screen went black, but the rest of the laptop is still working. Since it would cost almost as much to fix it as getting a new one, I opted for a new device. Before that, I had my old computer backed up onto a Toshiba drive. I'm a big Minecraft fan and had a world I've been working on for years, and I thought it would be on the backup. However, I can't seem to locate the saves folder on the drive. The closest I found is Users > (my name) > Documents > curseforge > minecraft, where there's a Downloads folder (empty) and an Instances folder with my TekTopia mod files. There's a saves folder in the TekTopia folder, but it only has worlds from that mod. I suspect the main saves might be in the Install folder, but I couldn't find it there either. I'm really hoping someone can guide me to find my old worlds, or let me know if there's a way to access the original folder from my now-broken laptop. Thanks in advance!

What client were you using? The standard Minecraft client stores files differently than CurseForge and other third-party launchers.

I did a search for you. The typical path might look something like this: C:UsersUser_NameAppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbweLocalStategamescom.mojangminecraftWorlds. But keep in mind that this is usually for Bedrock edition, so it might not apply to you if you're using Java.
