Minecraft | Uploading a custom world

Uploading custom worlds to the server is a straightforward process.

To upload a world via SFTP, you'll need the world folder containing all the necessary world files. It's recommended to remove any player data or players folders, as older worlds may encounter issues when converting player files.

To ensure convenience in the future, consider renaming your world folder to a single word if it contains unusual characters or spaces. This simple step will make your life easier down the line.
