The "Select World" menu

The Select World menu is one of the game's multiple Minecraft:menu screens. It provides access to the Minecraft:Create New World menu, and also lists pre-existing worlds that can be entered.

Overview

When clicking "Singleplayer" on the Minecraft:title screen, the player is brought to this menu if at least one world exists. If no worlds exist, the player is directly brought to the Minecraft:Create New World menu.

A search bar exists above the screen, allowing the player to find any world with a search.

Each world is listed along with some information about the world, such as world name, Minecraft:game mode, and Minecraft:cheats.

Each world includes a world icon, taken as a screenshot a few seconds after creating a world.Template:Info needed The icon can be deleted using "Reset Icon", and retaken with the player's FOV after entering the world again. If a world does not have an icon or because it has been reset, it shows a grayscale Minecraft:pack.png as a fallback.

When opened by clicking the "Singleplayer" button with Template:Key, the worlds that are incompatible with the current version or were last played in a snapshot version aren't displayed.
