Upload a Custom World#

Use your own world files on your QualityNode Minecraft server, whether from singleplayer, another server, or a downloaded adventure map.

Step 1: Stop Your Server#

1. Go to your control panel and select your server
2. Click the Stop button to shut down the server

Step 2: Remove Existing Worlds#

1. Click the Files tab in the sidebar
2. Delete the current world folder

For Paper-based servers, also remove:

• world_nether
• world_the_end

Step 3: Prepare Your World#

If your world is a folder (not a .zip file), compress it first:

Windows: Right-click the folder > Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder

Mac: Right-click the folder > Compress

Step 4: Upload and Extract#

1. In the Files tab, drag and drop your .zip file
2. Wait for the upload to complete
3. Right-click the uploaded .zip file
4. Select Unarchive
5. Rename the extracted folder to world if needed

Step 5: Start Your Server#

Click Start to boot your server with the new world.

Large World Uploads#

For worlds exceeding 10GB or if you experience upload issues:

1. Use SFTP to upload the files
2. Extract through the panel's file manager after upload

Where to Find Custom Worlds#

Troubleshooting#

World not loading#

• Verify the folder is named exactly world
• Check the world is compatible with your Minecraft version
• Ensure level-name=world in server.properties

Missing Nether/End#

For Paper servers, the dimensions are in separate folders. Upload:

• world_nether (or DIM-1 folder inside world)
• world_the_end (or DIM1 folder inside world)

Spawn point incorrect#

Use the command in-game or console:

setworldspawn <x> <y> <z>
