The menu is divided into three tabs: "Worlds", "Realms" and "Servers". Clicking "Play" on the Minecraft:main menu brings the player to the "Worlds" tab regardless of whether worlds exist.
This tab lists all Minecraft:worlds in order of last played or edited. Worlds set visible to LAN players<ref>Template:Bug</ref> in the same local network appear at the top of the list, as well as joinable friend's worlds and Realms.
Up to 12 worlds are shown per page; navigating is possible at the bottom of each page.
On Windows,<ref name=":0">Template:Bug</ref><ref name=":1">Template:Bug</ref> any .mcworld world file from the device folders can be imported into the game files using the "Import world" button on the top-right.
World button
A world button can be selected to open the Minecraft:loading world screen and start playing. World buttons have the following elements:
Thumbnail. On local worlds, this defaults to a screenshot automatically taken while saving and quitting. It can be changed to any locally stored Minecraft:screenshot in the edit world screen. Joinable games and missing images default to a generic image, worlds stored in the cloudTemplate:Upcoming and not on the device have a cloud image. Worlds created from templates can have custom thumbnails.
World name, editable for local worlds.
Host name for joinable games (Player's world). LAN Minecraft:servers use the server name as host name.
Last played or edited date and world size (not in grid mode).
"Edit" button for opening the Minecraft:Edit world screen on local worlds. This button is not available when using a controller in grid view, instead, the player needs to press Template:Ore UI Cont or Template:Ore UI Cont on the selected world.
Tags and icons:
Minecraft:Experimental tag (yellow), not on joinable games. Experimental worlds might show a warning before playing.
Tags for the default Minecraft:game mode: Survival, Creative, Adventure, Hardcore, or Unknown.
On local games, Hardcore also shows a red border with an animated Hardcore heart on the thumbnail. When the "Show days played" setting is enabled, it also shows the days played except when experiments are enabled. Hardcore worlds where the player died have a grayed out icon on the thumbnail.
Online play tags: LAN world (blue), Friend's world, or Friend of friend's world (green).
Upon clicking the "Create new world" button, the player is taken to a screen with the option to create worlds from a Marketplace or custom Minecraft:world template. The green "Create new world" button opens the Minecraft:Create new world screen where a world can be created from scratch.
There are three tabs for templates.
Marketplace Pass shows some world templates, add-ons, and texture packs included in the Minecraft:Marketplace Pass. A button shows the thumbnail, name, author, and rates. The button at the bottom of the list opens the Minecraft:Marketplace with all Marketplace Pass content.
Featured creators shows some world templates outside Marketplace Pass. More templates can be found with the button below.
Owned by me shows all world templates the player has access to, including those in the Marketplace Pass when the player is subscribed. The list can be filtered on name with a searchbar, and there are filter options for Show all, Downloaded, Imported, and Purchased from the Marketplace. The list can be sorted on newest or oldest, or alphabetical. On Windows,<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> custom .mctemplate world template files can be imported from the device folders.
Selecting a world template opens the Marketplace purchase page (when not owned), initiates downloading (when not downloaded), or opens the Minecraft:Create new world screen with the template's data. This generally includes certain packs, world settings, world name and thumbnail, and world data. Some world settings may be locked by the creator, which can be unlocked using a button above.
Downloaded Marketplace templates show a button that opens the pack's rate screen in the Marketplace. Imported templates have a tag.
This tab lists all Minecraft:Realms by name along with the world. The main page of each Realm shows the amount of online players as well as information about the activated world and the Realm. When the player does not have access to a Realms server, this screen shows information about a Minecraft Realms subscription as well as the option to subscribe.
This tab opens the server list, where the player can join the Minecraft:featured servers or (except on consoles) join other server by entering a server address.
