The goal is to copy files from assets to internal storage and then to use it with another application (Minecraft). As I know in Android 11+ we can't create directories in internal storage so how to copy files from assets to internal storage and then use it in Minecraft?

I tried to use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().absolutePath but it's deprecated.

In Android 11 you need to save files as per its type like if your file is image or video than you need to save it in "Pictures" directory, if file is audio file than need to save it in "Music" folder, if any document than need to save in "Documents or Download" – pratik vekariya Jul 27 '21 at 09:30
What about .mcworld files? And shoud I use "Environment.DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS" for file path to store files there? – Akram Baratov Jul 27 '21 at 09:38

@AkramBaratov have you found solution to this ? – vivek panchal Feb 21 '22 at 13:56
@vivekpanchal yes. You must save files only on public directories such as Downloads, Documents, etc. – Akram Baratov May 31 '22 at 10:16
