How can I save my game in Minecraft?

To save your game in Minecraft, one doesn't need to perform any manual actions if they are playing in the game's default mode as Minecraft features an auto-save function. The game periodically saves progress automatically while one is playing. Therefore, when the player wishes to stop playing, they can simply exit the game or press the "Esc" key and select "Save and quit to title," which will ensure that all changes made during the session are saved. It's important to not forcefully terminate the Minecraft application while playing, as it may prevent the game from saving the latest progress. Additionally, in the case of Minecraft Bedrock Edition for consoles and handheld devices, there may be options to manually trigger a save in the pause menu, although auto-save remains a consistent feature there as well.
