To upload a local world to your Minecraft server, you’ll need an FTP client like FileZilla, as our file manager does not support folder uploads. Before starting, we recommend reading the following articles:

  1. Start/Stop/Restarting Your Server
  2. Connecting to the Server with FTP or File Manager

Locate Your Local World

Before uploading your world, you need to locate it on your computer. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the search bar in Windows and type %appdata%.
  2. Open the .minecraft folder.
  3. Go into the saves folder.
  4. Right-click on the world you want to upload and select Copy.
  5. Move the copy to an easily accessible location, such as your desktop, and rename it to world.

Upload Your World to the Server Using FTP

Use an FTP client like FileZilla to upload your world to the server:

  1. Log in to your server via FTP using the credentials found in your game panel.
  2. Navigate to the root directory of your server, where you will see an existing world folder.
  3. Delete the existing world folder to make space for your own world.
  4. Drag and drop your local world folder into the root directory via the FTP client.
  5. Wait for the upload to complete, then restart your server to load the new world.

Your local world is now uploaded and ready to use on your Minecraft server!
