Required Reading
The Nintendo Switch release of Minecraft Bedrock edition does not permit importing worlds from external sources in-game. However, there is a trick to import your world to Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition that involves using a save manager and creating a blank world to replace with your downloaded world.

This guide works on emuMMC as well as sysCFW, but be warned: there is always a ban risk when messing with sysMMC. While people have reported successes with using this guide in sysMMC without getting banned, this can change. |

games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds/ - For each subfolder:
- Inside the subfolder, open levelname.txt and see if the contents of the file matches your world name you set in section I step 3
- If it is the correct name, delete the contents of this subfolder (not the subfolder itself) and replace it with the contents of your downloaded world (file and folder structure should match)
- If it isn't the correct name, move on to the next subfolder
- For JKSV users only: Go back to the path where your copied zip archive is, delete the zip archive, compress to .zip/send to zip archive, copy this newly created zip archive and place it in
/JKSV/Minecrafton your Switch, replacing the existing archive - Eject your Switch and disconnect it from your PC
