How to upload single player world to server?

Bedrock Edition note: process is similar but world folders are located in different paths; consult your host’s Bedrock import instructions.

Minecraft — simple steps to upload a single-player world to a multiplayer server (Java Edition): 1. On your PC, go to the .minecraft/saves/ folder and find your world folder. 2. Zip the world folder (or keep it as is). 3. Connect to your server via FTP / file manager (cPanel) or the server host’s file interface. 4. Upload the world folder (or the zip and extract it) into the server’s worlds/ or root directory (name might be world by default). 5. Update server.properties → level-name=<your_world_folder_name>. 6. Restart the server. Your single-player world should now load as the active world. Always back up both the server and local worlds before replacing anything.
