Import World

Transfer your existing Minecraft world (singleplayer or from another server) to your ModReady server.

Step 1: Prepare Your World

From Singleplayer

First, you need to find your Minecraft saves folder on your computer:

Inside the saves folder, you'll see a folder for each world. The folder name matches the world name you chose in-game.

From Another Server

Download the world folder from your old server's file manager. If you have multiple dimensions, also grab:

• world_nether (or world/DIM-1 for some servers)
• world_the_end (or world/DIM1 for some servers)

Zip Your World (Optional but Recommended)

Create a .zip file of your world folder. This makes uploading faster and easier.

• Windows: Right-click the folder → "Send to" → "Compressed (zipped) folder"
• Mac: Right-click the folder → "Compress"

Step 2: Choose Your Upload Method

Option A: Web File Manager (Small Worlds)

1. Stop Your Server

   Go to your server dashboard and click Stop. Never upload files while the server is running.

2. Open File Manager

   Click Files in the left sidebar to open the file manager.

3. Delete the Old World (Optional)

   If you want to completely replace the existing world, delete the current world folder. Right-click it and select "Delete".

4. Upload Your Zip File

   Click Upload at the top of the file manager and select your world.zip file. Wait for the upload to complete.

5. Extract the Zip

   Right-click your uploaded .zip file and select Unarchive. This will extract the world folder.

6. Rename the Folder

   Make sure your world folder is named exactly world (lowercase). If it has a different name, right-click it and select "Rename".

Option B: SFTP with FileZilla (Large Worlds)

SFTP is the best way to upload large files. It's faster, more reliable, and won't time out like web uploads.

Step 1: Download FileZilla

FileZilla is a free, easy-to-use SFTP client:

• Windows/Mac/Linux: Download FileZilla Client

Install it like any other program. When it asks about additional software, you can skip/decline those offers.

Step 2: Find Your SFTP Details

1. Go to panel.modready.gg
2. Click on your server
3. Click Settings in the left sidebar
4. Look for the SFTP Details section

You'll see something like:

Step 3: Connect with FileZilla

1. Open FileZilla
2. At the top, you'll see the Quickconnect bar with these fields:

3. Click Quickconnect
4. If asked about an unknown host key, click OK or Always trust this host

Step 4: Upload Your World

Once connected, you'll see two panels:

• Left side: Your computer's files
• Right side: Your server's files

1. On the left side, navigate to your world folder (e.g., %appdata%\.minecraft\saves\MyWorld)
2. On the right side, you should see your server files (mods, config, etc.)
3. If there's an existing world folder on the right, right-click it and delete it
4. Drag your world folder from the left to the right side
5. Wait for the transfer to complete (you'll see progress at the bottom)
6. Rename the uploaded folder to world if needed

Step 3: Configure server.properties

Your server needs to know which folder contains your world:

1. Open server.properties in the file manager (or via FileZilla)
2. Find the line level-name=world
3. Make sure it matches your world folder name (usually world)
4. Save the file

Step 4: Start Your Server

Go back to your dashboard and click Start. Your server will now load your imported world!

Common Issues

World not loading / Generating new world

• Check that your world folder is named exactly world
• Make sure level-name in server.properties matches the folder name
• Verify the world files are in the root of the world folder, not a subfolder

Missing Nether/End

• For Paper/Spigot servers, dimensions need separate folders: world_nether and world_the_end
• For Vanilla/Forge/Fabric, dimensions are inside the world folder as DIM-1 and DIM1

Mod errors after import

• Your world might have blocks/items from mods that aren't installed
• Install the same mods that were used in the original world
• Check the console for specific missing mod errors

SFTP Connection Failed

• Double-check the port is 2022 (not 22)
• Make sure you're using your panel password, not a different password
• Try using sftp:// prefix in the host field
• Check that your server address matches what's shown in Settings

Upload keeps failing/timing out

• Use SFTP instead of the web file manager for large files
• Check your internet connection
• Try uploading during off-peak hours
