Terminal updated: 2020-04-22

This commodity will guide you through that process of uploading your ain existing Minecraft world to your Nodecraft Server.

Install the Same Modpack and Version of Minecraft on the Server

Starting time use the "Ane Click" installer on the Nodecraft server control panel to install the aforementioned version of Minecraft, and the modpack (if applicative) that the world was created on. Uploading a world folder created on a different version of Minecraft, or a different modpack, can lead to issues with the world loading correctly.

Find the "World" Binder on Your Existing Game

Get to where your Minecraft game is installed on your computer, and open up the game folder. MInecraft names your world salvage by default to world, unless y'all changed the name to something else when yous created it. You're looking for that folder proper noun, or earth for default.

If you lot open the folder, you should see something shut to the view below.

That listing above is from a earth created with a specific Modpack (in this example, the modpack Stoneblock), and so the exact files and names might exist slightly different. Certain files will be common to all worlds, such as level.dat, and the folders DIM1 and DIM-one, and then this is but an example to help you make certain you are looking at the correct folder.

Apply a Compression Utility to "Zip" the Unabridged World Binder

A zip utility is a program that volition package all the files into 1 bundle, then compress the files to make them smaller. Smaller files volition mean faster uploaded. Doing this is ofttimes referred to as "zipping" the files. In that location are several utilities that can do this, and many can be downloaded for costless.

Nosotros highly recommend using 7zip, which is both free and very easy to utilise. Yous can get it HERE. Only download the correct version for your operating arrangement, and install and set it upwards. When you lot are set, select the whole world binder, and zip it, and all of its contents.

Annotation: The Nodecraft command panel tin back up uploading entire folders without "zipping" them starting time, but there are still several advantages to zipping them up. The files are all arranged in one package, which tin can be moved effectually on the server easier, and the files will exist smaller which means faster uploading. If you are having trouble with the zipping office of this process, you tin can skip it and upload but the whole folder.

Delete whatever "Earth" Folders Already on the Nodecraft Server

If y'all take already started the server, Minecraft will take automatically generated a new world, in its ain "earth" folder. In gild to avoid confusion, you might want to select that "world" folder and delete it using the push button at the meridian of the File Manager view, earlier you upload your ain.

Utilize an FTP Program

If the zipped files are very large, nosotros recommend using an FTP client to manage the file upload. FTP stands for "File Transfer Protocol". Information technology's a standardized way to connect to a remote figurer, and then manage the process of uploading large files. FTP programs intermission the file into smaller parts, ship them one at a time, and proceed track of which parts were received correctly at the other end. FTP can even resend bits that were lost or garbled at the other end. It also had the advantage of being much faster in most cases.

We take a basic guide for FTP use in our knowledgebase which yous can find Here. We highly recommend Filezilla for this, but the guide has links to many popular programs that can be used for FTP.

Utilise Elevate and Drib in the File Manager*

The File director View on the Nodecraft control panel also supports elevate and drib. Go to your server command panel, and then click on the file manager tab on the left side. You can either click on the upload push shown below, or simply drag a file into the file managing director window and an upload target box will appear. Release the file inside the box, and the upload will begin.

The drag and drop can handle fairly large files (several hundred megabytes), simply is much slower than using FTP. It also has no built in spot-checking, then if anything interrupts the process, it will error out, and you may take to start again.

Unzip the File

Simply select the uploaded archive from your File Director, and a button labelled "unzip" volition appear at the elevation (or unrar etc. if you chose a different format). Click it, follow the prompts, and it will automatically unzip the files. If done successfully, yous will have the same world folder from your computer on the server!

Modify the Settings to Use the Folder

Minecraft automatically names all worlds it creates globe, and if your's was named this, it volition only automatically look for and use that folder when it starts upward. If your world is named something else, y'all will have to alter the settings that tell Minecraft which folder to load the globe information from.

Click on Game Settings on the control panel, so click on the globe tab on the blue bar. Replace the discussion "earth" with the verbal proper noun of your ain earth folder.
