How to install a map on a Java server¶

On a Java server, the active world is normally set by the world folder or by the level-name value in server.properties.

Steps¶

1. Back up your old world first.
2. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
3. Go to Files.
4. Upload the map .zip file.
5. Extract the map file.
6. Make sure the extracted folder contains level.dat, region/, and the usual world files.

Switch the active world¶

You have two common options:

Option A: Replace the main world folder¶

• Rename the map folder to world if the server's startup expects that name.

Option B: Change level-name¶

1. Open server.properties.
2. Find this line:

level-name=world

1. Change the value to match the new map folder's name.

Restart the server¶

Once the folder name and level-name match:

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

Important tips¶

• Avoid double-nested folders such as world/newmap/level.dat.
• The world folder name must match the level-name value exactly if you use that method.
• Not every old map will work on a server that is on a much newer or older version.
