Managing Worlds (Upload/Download)
How to move single-player worlds to your server and back.
Uploading a World
- Locate your save folder on PC (
%appdata%/.minecraft/saves).
- Rename the folder to
world (or matches your `level-name` in server.properties).
- Stop the server.
- Delete the existing
world, world_nether, and world_the_end folders on the server.
- Upload your local folder.
- Start the server.
Multiple Worlds
To run multiple worlds on one server (e.g. a separate Creative world), use a plugin like Multiverse-Core.
/mv create creative_world NORMAL
/mv tp creative_world
