EarthMC Map Archive vs MCPEDL

EarthMC Map Archive makes three earlier EarthMC Minecraft worlds available for download: Classic (active 2016–2018), Terra Nova (2018–2022), and Terra Aurora (2022–2026). Their listed file sizes are 1.9 GB, 50.6 GB, and 50.8 GB, respectively, and each archive includes a text dump of the wiki. Java Edition instructions cover extracting a map and placing it in the saves directory on Windows, macOS, or Linux. Bedrock players can convert maps with Chunker, with iOS, Android, and Windows listed as destinations. The archive does not provide an Earth map seed as an alternative to downloading a world. Installation questions are directed to a dedicated Discord thread for community help. Downloads are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International, and the archive excludes private information such as UUIDs and player-specific files. The service is free, with no free trial listed.

MCPEDL is a website for finding downloadable content for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, including add-ons, maps, mods, seeds and texture packs. The site says the content is free to download and describes itself as a place where Bedrock creators can share projects. It began on April 1, 2014, and says it is not affiliated with Mojang Studios. MCPEDL is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows. Its mobile installation guides cover Android and iOS and recommend the MCPEDL app; a Windows guide covers importing add-ons, resource packs, worlds and skin packs in.mcaddon,.mcpack and.mcworld formats. Project pages say downloads are securely hosted by CurseForge. The site says moderation combines automated checks and manual review, and submissions must follow Minecraft's EULA and Terms of Service and cannot collect personal information through a mod. Optional VIP membership removes banner and text ads and adds download and profile features. VIP costs $3.99 a month for one month, $9.99, paid once for three months, or $29.99 a year for one year.
