Minecraft·March 22, 2026·11 min read

Hi! In this guide we will explain how to upload your Minecraft Realms world to your own Minecraft server. If you follow each step carefully, you will be able to complete the process in just a few minutes.

REALMS

To start, we need to download the world from Realms, to do so: If it is Minecraft Bedrock: Launch Minecraft.

Select Play on the start screen.
Select the Realms tab.
Select the Realm you want to manage and click on Options.
Select Realm Settings from the options menu.
Select the Realm slot you want to edit.
Select Edit World.
Scroll to the bottom of the game settings and click on Download World.

If it is Minecraft JAVA: Launch Minecraft.

Select Minecraft Realms.
Click on the Realm with the world you want to download.
Select Configure.
Select World Backups.
Select Download Latest.
Select Continue.

Once we have downloaded the world, we will enter the .minecraft folder, to do so: - Press the "windows" key and type %appdata% - Enter the .Minecraft folder (if this folder does not appear, you will need to enter the "Roaming" folder first) - Go to "Saves" Here you will see the downloaded world.

Now that we have the world ready, we will enter our server panel via SFTP, to do so: - We enter our server panel and go to the "Settings" section and click on "Launch SFTP" (You will need to have WinSCP or FileZilla installed for this)

SFTP

When we start SFTP and have entered our credentials, we simply need to drag the world file to the server files. (If the world is very large, we recommend compressing it before uploading to the server)

Once we have uploaded our Realms world, you will need to either name it "world" or edit the file server.properties so that it is recognized as the main world!
