Add Custom Worlds to your Minecraft Server
This guide will show you how to add custom worlds to your Minecraft server. This means adding worlds you can download online or even uploading a world from your single-player worlds. This guide will teach you the basics of replacing existing worlds with new ones.
Select a World
- You can go to any Minecraft world site and download a world you want to play.
- Ensure this is a
zipfile. - The zip file may either contain a folder with the world files or just the contents of a world file, which changes how extraction works. For the latter, you need to create a folder, put the zip in it, and then extract.
Stop the Server
- Login to the panel. See Access the Panel for instructions.
- Go to the server that you wish to upload your custom world to.
- Stop the server.
Upload the World.
- Navigate to the 1 Files tab.
- Press 2 Upload and select your custom world
zipfile. - You can also directly drag and drop the file into the file manager.
- Next, the newly uploaded file needs to be extracted.
- This can be done by pressing 1
...and the 2 Unarchive button.
- Delete or rename the existing world folder.
- To keep your old world, take a backup and download it OR rename the existing
worldfolder tooldworldor something memorable. - Next, rename the newly extracted folder to
world. - You can do this by pressing 1
..., then 2, and clicking the Rename button.
Start the Server
- You can start your server and play your new world if you have followed all the steps correctly.
- Ensure your server versions match the world version you downloaded, or unexpected errors may occur.
