Overview:
Want to play your custom-built world or a downloaded map on your Minecraft server? This guide shows you how to upload and run a custom Minecraft world on your server.

Steps:

1. Stop your server
   Before uploading any files, stop your Minecraft server from the control panel to prevent file corruption.

2. Access your server files using SFTP

   • Download and install FileZilla if you don’t have it.

   • Connect using the SFTP credentials provided in your Vexal Hosting control panel.

3. Upload your world folder

   • Locate your custom world folder on your PC. It should contain files like level.dat, region/, data/, etc.

   • Upload this entire folder to the server’s root directory (same place as server.properties).

4. Set the world name in server.properties

   • Open server.properties.

   • Find the line that starts with level-name= and set it to match your uploaded world folder name exactly.

   • Example: level-name=mycustomworld

5. Restart your server
   Start your server again. It will now load the uploaded world.

???? Tips:

• Ensure your world version matches your server version.

• Don’t rename the world folder after uploading unless you also update level-name.
