Uploading a Custom World

Bring your singleplayer world or downloaded map to your server.

Step 1: Prepare your World

Locate your world folder on your computer (usually in %appdata%/.minecraft/saves). Make sure the folder contains `level.dat`, `region/`, etc.

Step 2: Upload via SFTP

  1. Stop your server.
  2. Connect to your server using FileZilla (SFTP).
  3. Drag and drop your world folder into the root directory of the server.
  4. If you want this to be the main world, rename the folder to world (or whatever is set in your server.properties).

Step 3: Update Server Properties

If you named your folder something other than "world" (e.g., "my_epic_map"):

  1. Go to the "File Manager" in the panel.
  2. Open server.properties.
  3. Find level-name=world and change it to level-name=my_epic_map.
  4. Save the file and start the server.
