I have been trying to download an Equestria map (from My Little Pony). I have extracted and unzipped it, but when I open the Minecraft launcher and click single player I can never find the map that I downloaded. How can I fix this??

This is the map I've been trying to download:

Please have a look at the link and tell me how I can fix this!

Here is a screenshot of what's in the map folder. You can see up the top that it's in my saves folder. Am I missing anything?

I am pretty sure it's because you have the map folder inside another folder.

Try dragging the Equesrtia4 into the saves, rather than the Equestria. I've had issues like this with maps as well, and doing that helped me get it to work.
