  • I just noticed in your question you said world "file". Not trying to nitpick here, but is it a single file? Or a folder with several files in it? If it's one file, it could be compressed or incomplete. – Pixelated Fish Oct 27 '20 at 20:15
  • Is this a Minecraft Client world? Or a Minecraft Server world? – user535733 Oct 27 '20 at 20:24

You need to transfer the world files off of the flash drive to ~/.minecraft/saves. ~, especially in Linux, is used to represent your home folder, where your Desktop, Documents, etc. are stored. This folder is usually /home/<username>. Since .minecraft begins with ., it is a hidden folder, and will not appear in a file manager. To get around this, you have to either use a terminal (see here), or instruct your file manager to show hidden files (see here How to show hidden files in Nautilus 3.20.3 Ubuntu 16.10?. It looks a little different in newer versions, but you did not specify what version of Ubuntu you were using.).

EDIT

For more information about .minecraft, see the wiki page here.

If you are talking about a Minecraft Server world, then it depends upon where your Minecraft Server is installed.

Let's say that I have a Minecraft server, and I'm not quite sure where it is installed.

  • I can find it by looking for any file that is known to be part of the server. Example: eula.txt.

  • Let's limit the search to /home directories because that's where most folks download the server.jar file to.

$ find /home -name eula.txt
/home/minecraft/eula.txt

My minecraft server is located at /home/minecraft. Yours might be in a different place.

My minecraft world is therefore located in /home/minecraft/world. Let's check that and verify that all my world-related files and subdirectories are there.

$ ls /home/minecraft/world
DIM-1  advancements  datapacks  level.dat_old  poi     session.lock
DIM1   data          level.dat  playerdata     region  stats
