Multiverse-Core is an all-in-one worlds management plugin for servers. Aside from generating new worlds, running and managing multiple active worlds, controlling access to these worlds and other things, Multiverse-Core also allows you to easily import existing / custom worlds into your server so that you can load and access these alongside your server's default world.

Before importing a world, you must have Multiverse-Core installed in your server. You may directly download the plugin from it's official page: Multiverse-Core. Additionally, we have a guide on how to install plugins here: How to Install Plugins on Your Minecraft Server


# Importing a World

You can import a world with Multiverse-Core by uploading the world to your server, and using the import command.

  1. Access your control panel and navigate to your server files.

  1. Navigate to your server console, and enter the command mv import {world name} {environment_type}.
  • {world name} is the exact name of the folder you uploaded, from our example that would be "Multiverse-Core".
  • {environment type} is the type of world that's being uploaded, if a regular overworld this would be "normal".

Note: You can make feature requests or bug reports directly to Multiverse Core's developers if you're having a bug that's caused by the plugin and not user/server error on their Bukkit page.
