Create an Additional World

Each Minecraft server allows you to create more than one world folder. You can create additional worlds to separate your creations, troubleshoot world-related issues, or start on a fresh world while keeping a backup of the old. Under most circumstances, only one world can be run at a time.

Create an Additional World

1. Login to the Server Dashboard.

2. From the server list, click on the server that you would like to modify.

3. Go to the Files tab.

4. Click on server.properties to open the file.

   

5. Find the line containing level-name=[world name] and note whatever is after the = sign. On most servers, it is world or New World.

   

6. Change level-name=[world name] to something different than what’s there. For example, level-name=world-1.

7. Save the file and restart your server.

When your server restarts, it’ll generate the world in a folder with the same name as the level-name you chose. On our system, the level-name is case-sensitive. For example, world is different from World and will result in two different world folders on your server.
