·

Sep 12, 2024

If you wish to use your Minecraft server world in singleplayer, as a backup, or to use on another server, you will need to download your Minecraft world onto your computer.


Downloading a Minecraft World

You can download your world files by accessing server files and downloading the world folders.

Step 1:

Navigate to your control panel, and Shut Down your server.

When making any changes to a server whether that could be configuration or file transfers. We always recommend stopping your server to avoid potential risks.

Step 2:

Access your server files, and select each of the world folders you wish to download.

All Vanilla or Modded server types will contain The Nether, and The End files within the world folder under the names DIM1 and DIM-1, respectively. All Spigot server types will have seperate world folders for The Nether and The End, as seen from the image.

Step 3:

Click Download.

Files are automatically downloaded to your downloads folder. Once the download is complete the file(s) selected will be provided in a ZIP.

That's it! You have successfully downloaded your server's world. You can now use this on your singleplayer, upload to another server, or simply store it on your computer as a backup.
