You can upload a singleplayer world by zipping it locally, then extracting it in the server file manager.

Upload a singleplayer world

  1. Create a zip file of your world folder on your PC.
  2. Open your server Files page and upload the zip file.
  3. Right-click the zip file (or click the three dots) and select Decompress.
  4. Make sure the extracted world folder is named world or matches the level-name value in server.properties.

Where to find your singleplayer worlds

  • Windows: %appdata%.minecraft\saves
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves
  • Linux: ~/.minecraft/saves

What happens next

Start the server and your uploaded world will load.
