Big glowing world export import buttons for Minecraft Pocket Edition & Bedrock Edition.
Minecraft's new UI hid the world export option so well that most players simply can't find it anymore. Export Worlds! puts it back — bigger, brighter and one tap away — right on the screen where you edit your world.
No mods. No cheats. No scripts. No Realm. No ₹2 auto-pay. Just a glowing button that saves your build to your device.
✨ What you get
On the Edit World screen
- SAVE BUILD TO DEVICE — a big, pulsing neon button in the GAME tab and in the left world pane (visible without scrolling). Tap it → your phone's file picker opens immediately → choose a folder → Save → your whole world is now a single file on your device.
- SAVE AS .MCWORLD (Bedrock) — same thing using the world-archive export, shown on Bedrock / Windows.
- IMPORT WORLD FROM FILE — one-tap import. Got a .mcworld, .mctemplate or .zip from a friend, Discord or a marketplace? Import it straight from here.
- A small 4-step "how it works" card, so nobody has to guess.
On the Play → Worlds screen
- A neon EXPORT WORLDS! bar at the top of your world list with an IMPORT WORLD shortcut — also the fastest way to confirm the pack is active.
Design
- Hot-pink → violet → electric-cyan gradient button with a 3-layer glow (soft halo pulsing halo hard ring), neon rim, spark dots and a pulsing title.
- Colour changes dramatically between default / hover / pressed — 3 hand-made 512×120 textures per button, plus a matching amber secondary button.
- Everything is original artwork generated for this pack.
🎮 How to use it (30 seconds)
- Activate the pack in Settings → Global Resources.
- Fully close Minecraft and open it again (UI packs load at start-up).
- Play → the neon EXPORT WORLDS! bar appears at the top of the Worlds list.
- Open Play → Worlds → ✏️ Edit on any world → GAME tab.
- Tap SAVE BUILD TO DEVICE → pick Downloads → name it MyBuild.mcworld → Save. Done — your build is one file.
- To restore it: come back to the same panel and hit IMPORT WORLD FROM FILE, or just tap the saved file in your file manager.
Tip: name the file ending in .mcworld — that makes it a normal world backup that imports with one tap. .mctemplate also works and shows up under Templates.
✅ Why this is safe
- No scripts, no cheats, no experimental toggles. It's a resource pack (JSON UI) — it does not change gameplay, mobs, blocks or world data.
- The export itself is Minecraft's own code. The buttons simply call the game's existing export/import handlers, so the file is written exactly the way the game would write it. The pack only gives that function a big glowing front door.
- Nothing vanilla is replaced. The pack inserts its panels into empty space; it never removes or rewrites an existing control, so no screen can break.
- Uninstall = deactivate the pack. Your worlds are untouched.

Note: export writes the file through the game's file picker. On a few Android builds that block the system file picker for this screen, the button can appear greyed out / do nothing — in that case use the game's own Realms backup instead. This is a device/permission limitation, not a pack limitation.
