This is release 2.0 of geoOttaWOW, a Minecraft world based on data sets used in geoOttawa. This version was created with Minecraft PC version 1.7.10, using software that supports version 1.7.*, with NBT version 19133. This smaller, improved version of the original release requires around 494Mb of disk space, so it will run on most common devices where Minecraft has been installed. The zip file is a folder that you will need to un-zip in your saves directory.We have given Ottawa a new spin, allowing us to have flat-sided buildings. Be creative and build the Ottawa you want. We have provided you with the base structure, and done all the heavy lifting. Now it’s up to you to fill in the blocks and add some new structures to Ottawa, or tear down the old. Build and explore Roads, Rails, Rivers, and Ottawa’s buildings in this Minecraft world. This version focuses in on the most popular areas of Ottawa in 2017 and those that will change the most in the year ahead. Starting at Ottawa City Hall users can explore the city, and create an Ottawa the way they want it to be. We have even added a few surprises, celebrating Canada 150. Enjoy your fireworks.Most popular locations

1. Locate the Minecraft Saves directory

You will first need to locate the saved file in your Minecraft "saves" folder, as that is where downloaded game files like maps are generally stored.

Using the Minecraft Launcher:

a. Open the Launcher, and select Edit Profile.

·
b. Click the Open Game Dir option. "Dir" is short for "Directory."

·
c. Your "saves" folder will be in the .minecraft directory.

a. Open the Start menu and select Run.

·
b. Type (without quotes) "%appdata%.minecraft\saves" and hit Enter.

Using Mac OS

a. Open the Finder.

·
b. Select Go and Go to Folder...

·
c. When prompted, enter (without quotes) "~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves".

Using Ubuntu Linux

·
b. In the top menu select GO and Open Location

2. Store the Minecraft Map Files

Having located the "saves" folder, you can copy the folder to the "saves" folder.

You can also rename your downloaded map if you like by renaming the folder.

3. Launch Your Downloaded Minecraft Map

If your downloaded map has been saved in the Minecraft "saves" folder, you should be able to select it when you play Minecraft when asked to select a World from your Worlds list.
