How to Put Minecraft Maps on an Xbox

The Xbox 360 version of ̶0;Minecraft̶1; does not directly support custom maps imported from a PC, but you can use some free third-party software to convince the Xbox to read such files as normal ̶0;Minecraft̶1; saves. It takes a little bit of tweaking and some basic computer knowledge, but otherwise isn̵7;t exceptionally complicated. Custom maps let you import the interesting works of other ̶0;Minecraft̶1; players.
