Upload world in Minecraft Java Edition: File Browser & SFTP ​

Attention

The world files must not be an archive such as .zip. Unzip the world first.

  1. Stop your Minecraft Java Edition server.

  2. Open your dashboard, select your server and go to the file browser or connect to your server via SFTP. You can find instructions here: Establish SFTP connection.

  3. Upload your new world in the main folder, which also contains the world folder.

  4. open the file server.properties.

  5. Look for the following entry:

    level-name=world
    level-name=world
  6. Change the value to the name of your uploaded world (e.g. level-name=NewWorld).

  7. Save the file and restart your server.

Tip

You can also run several worlds in parallel on your server, e.g. with plugins such as Multiverse-Core.
