.zip.
- Start the server.
¶ Option 2: Upload with SFTP
New to FileZilla? Watch the connection guide and the upload guide.
- Connect to your server with an SFTP client such as FileZilla.
- Delete your existing world folders in the panel.
- Drag and drop your zipped world onto the server.
- In the panel Files, click the three dots next to the zip and select Extract.
- Rename the extracted folder to
worldif it is not already. - Start the server.

Join the server. You spawn in your uploaded world.
¶ Troubleshooting
¶ The server makes a new world instead of loading yours
The folder name does not match the world name the server loads. Rename your folder to world, or check that the zip did not create an extra folder level.
