  • 1Before you send anything, make a backup copy of your world.
  • 2Share your world with a friend you know and trust, like a classmate or family member.
  • 3Only send files, never your passwords or account details. No one needs those to open a world.

  • 3Never share personal details, and ask a grown-up before you post something publicly.
