Play <a href=\"https:\/\/playgama.com\/category\/minecraft\">minecraft games<\/a> and start building your next adventure!<\/p>\n<h2>Default Installation Location<\/h2>\n<p>Minecraft Bedrock Edition installs in a protected system folder that&#8217;s different from Java Edition. You&#8217;ll find it at:<\/p>\n<p><code>C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_[version]_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe<\/code><\/p>\n<p>The exact folder name includes version numbers and may look like <code>Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_1.20.1501.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe<\/code>. This location is managed by Windows and requires special permissions to access.<\/p>\n<h2>Why You Can&#8217;t See It Normally<\/h2>\n<p>Windows hides this folder because it&#8217;s part of the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) system. The WindowsApps directory is protected, so even with administrator rights, you might not see the Minecraft folder without changing specific permissions.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Access the Installation Files<\/h2>\n<p>To view your Minecraft Bedrock installation:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open File Explorer and navigate to <code>C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps<\/code><\/li>\n<li>If you can&#8217;t see any folders, enable &#8220;Show hidden files&#8221; in View options<\/li>\n<li>Right-click the WindowsApps folder and select Properties<\/li>\n<li>Go to Security tab, click Advanced, then Change next to Owner<\/li>\n<li>Type your username and click OK, then apply changes<\/li>\n<li>Look for folders starting with &#8220;Microsoft.MinecraftUWP&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Alternative Methods to Find Game Data<\/h2>\n<p>Your worlds, resource packs, and settings are stored separately at:<\/p>\n<p><code>%localappdata%\\Packages\\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalState\\games\\com.mojang<\/code><\/p>\n<p>This folder is much easier to access and contains all your important game data. You can copy this path directly into File Explorer&#8217;s address bar.<\/p>\n<h2>Using PowerShell for Quick Access<\/h2>\n<p>Open PowerShell as administrator and run:<\/p>\n<p><code>Get-AppxPackage *minecraft*<\/code><\/p>\n<p>This command shows the exact installation path and package details for Minecraft Bedrock on your system.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding where Minecraft Bedrock lives on your PC helps with troubleshooting, modding, and backing up your precious worlds and creations.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>TL;DR<\/h2>\n<p>Minecraft Bedrock installs in C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_[version]_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe, but your worlds and data are stored in %localappdata%\\Packages\\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalState\\games\\com.mojang.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who this is for: PC gamers who need to locate Minecraft Bedrock files for troubleshooting, modding, or backing up their worlds.
