Moving Minecraft worlds between Android devices is easier than many players think, and doing it correctly ensures you don’t lose hours of progress. Whether you’re upgrading your phone or sharing a world with a friend, there are a few reliable methods to transfer your saved worlds safely.

The most common way is using local storage. On your old Android device, open the file manager and navigate to the Minecraft folder, usually found under Android/data or games/com.mojang. Inside, you’ll find the worlds folder containing all your saved maps. Copy this folder to a secure location such as an SD card, USB drive, or cloud storage.

Cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox are another convenient option. Upload the worlds folder from your old device, then download it on the new one and paste it into the same Minecraft directory. This method is especially useful if you don’t have physical storage available.

For players using the same account, in-game cloud sync (where supported) can simplify the process, but it may not work for all versions or custom worlds.

Before transferring, always make a backup to avoid data loss. Also ensure both devices are running compatible Minecraft Java edition versions. With these steps, you can seamlessly continue your adventures on a new Android device without starting from scratch.
