Add custom worlds to your Minecraft server
In this guide, we will step-by-step 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 on how to replace existing worlds with new ones.
Download a world / Choose a world
- You can go to any Minecraft world site and download a world you would like to play.
- Make sure this file is a .zip file and the .zip directly opens to the world files.
- If there is an extra file inside the .zip containing the world files they will not work as intended.
Go to your UltraServers dashboard

- Once in your inventory you will see your list of servers.
Click Manage on the server you want to change
- This will take you to the advanced view of your server.
Go to the File Manager tab
- Select the File Manager tab.
Add new world folder
- Upload the downloaded zip archive to your File Manager.
- Extract the said file.
- Delete or rename the existing world folder.
- To keep your old world, take a backup and download it OR rename the existing world folder to
OldWorldor something similar. - Now, rename the new extracted folder to
world.
Restart your server
- If you have followed all steps correctly you can restart your server and begin playing your new world.
