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
