How to install a world on a Bedrock server¶

A Bedrock dedicated server stores worlds in the worlds/ folder, and the active world is set by the level-name property in server.properties.

Steps¶

1. Back up your old world first.
2. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
3. Go to Files.
4. Upload the world .zip file.
5. Extract the file.
6. Make sure the extracted world folder contains files like level.dat, levelname.txt, and the db/ folder.
7. Move or rename the world folder inside the worlds/ directory.
8. Note the name of that world folder.

Set the active world¶

Open server.properties and adjust:

level-name=WorldFolderName

This name must match the world folder name inside worlds/ exactly.

Restart the server¶

After the world has been uploaded and level-name is correct:

1. Go back to Console.
2. Restart the server.

Important tips¶

• Avoid double-nested folder structures, such as worlds/worldname/worldname/level.dat.
• Not every world can be moved cleanly between versions that are far apart.
• Renaming to Bedrock level is not required if level-name is set correctly.

Troubleshooting¶

The server creates a new world¶

• Usually the folder name does not match level-name.

The world is not read¶

• Make sure level.dat is in the root of the world folder, not in a subfolder.
