If you have a pre-existing singleplayer world, a world downloaded from the Internet, or a world that was shared to you by a friend, you may wish to upload it to your Bedrock server.
If you are looking to import a Java Edition world to your Java Edition server, please follow the steps here.
Important
This tutorial can only be followed using Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition. It is currently not possible to upload a world from a phone, tablet, or console onto your server.
# Exporting The World

- Open Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition and click Play.
- Click the Edit icon next to the world that you would like to export.
- In the Game menu of the world settings, scroll down and click Export World.
- Select a folder to save your world into, and click Export.
# Upload your Bedrock World
You can upload your Bedrock world to your server files.
- Access your Server Panel and Stop your server.
- Go to your server files via the Files tab.
- Locate and open your server worlds folder.
- Upload the
.mcworldfile of your world to this folder.
- Click on the
.mcworldfile and then click on Unzip. A folder will appear with your world files.
- Navigate to your Config tab.
- In Server Properties (Bedrock), locate the setting Level Name and change this to the name of the world folder you created in Step 5.
- Click on Save to confirm the changes made and Start your server.
That's it! You can now use any custom Bedrock world as your Minecraft server world. If this is your first time connecting to your server, follow our guide on connecting to your Bedrock server here.
