Hi there! In this guide, we’ll show you how to upload a world you already have saved on your computer to your Minecraft server. Let’s get started!

Where can I find my Minecraft worlds?

To upload a world you’ve been playing in Singleplayer to your Minecraft server, follow these steps:

  • Press the Windows key and type %appdata%

  • Open the .Minecraft folder

  • Open the “saves” folder inside — here you’ll see all the worlds you have saved in Singleplayer. We’re going to compress this folder.

How do I upload it to my server?

To upload your world to the server, first:

  • Log in to your server panel.

  • Go to the “Files” section.

  • Find the “world” folder and delete it.

  • Now upload the compressed file of your world.

Once the file is uploaded to the server, we need to extract it. To do this, right-click the file and select “Extract.”


Now we have two options: either rename the world folder to “world”

Or open the server.properties file, find the “level-name” line, and replace its value with the name of your world.

Once you’ve done either of the two options, start the server.Renaming the world or changing the level-name value is important because if you don’t, the server will generate a new world when it starts. Conclusion

We hope this guide has been helpful! 🚀 Remember, don’t hesitate to ask questions on the HolyHosting Discord or contact our support team.
