    Hello! I have seen many maps using the file .RAR and not .zip and I am wondering how to open a .RAR file.

    So... how do I open a .RAR file?

    You'll need to extract the .RAR file first. The problem is, though, that Windows does not allow you to do this by default. You will need to download a third-party application if you want to extract a .RAR file. WinRAR is a popular option -- I believe you have to pay for full access, but there might be a trial version. You could also look for other alternatives, like 7zip for example.

    Ah, sorry Lego -- I've only ever had experience with Windows. Try using 'The Unarchiver', which can be found on the Mac app store.

    Avatar_plays_MC Help I'm stuck in a simulation!

    WinRAR is available for Macs too. There is a free trial version that works just fine.

    Yeah, I'd have to recommend using the Unarchiver too. I'm pretty sure it comes with the computer, so yeah.
