Reset World
Generate a fresh world for a Java server.
Resetting the world deletes the current world and generates a fresh one. All builds, items, and player progress are lost.
Caution
How to Reset the World#
-
Stop the Server#
Open Console and press Stop. Wait until the status is Offline.
-
Back Up First (Highly Recommended)#
Open the Backups tab → Create Backup. Name it, e.g.,
old-world, then run it. -
Delete the World Folder#
- Open the Files tab.
- Find the folder named
world. - Click the three dots next to the folder → Delete.
For servers with separate dimensions, also delete
world_netherandworld_the_end. -
Start the Server#
Open Console and press Start. The server generates a new world automatically.
Rename the World (Alternative)#
If you do not want to delete it, you can rename the world folder to world-backup, then create a new world folder. This keeps the old world without downloading it.
Verify#
Once the server is up, join and make sure you spawn in the new world. Check the console log to ensure there are no errors during world generation.
