How to reset a world on a Minecraft server

Last updated on Jul 29, 2024

Resetting a Minecraft server world can be difficult for server administrators, but it is sometimes necessary to reset progress to try new updates or keep things fresh for players. Over time, Minecraft worlds can become cluttered, overpopulated, or lacking in resources, making it difficult for players to explore and create new content. In addition, world saves can be retained by creating new world folders, allowing users to freely change between worlds while maintaining the nether and end dimensions.

Note: Make backups locally to save any necessary files.
