I want to copy/modify/delete a Minecraft world. Where can I find my saves folder?

As the Minepedia mentions, your save files are in:
~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves/If you were running Linux, it'd just be:
~/.minecraft/savesIf you were running Windows, instead, it'd be:
%APPDATA%\.minecraft\saves\In all cases, you can reach the correct folder easily with your file manager of choice using this little trickery:
- Start Minecraft
- Choose "Mods and Texture packs"
- Choose "Open texture pack folder"
- Go up a level
- Open the
savesdirectory.
