How to upload a Minecraft world to Aternos?

Check edition and version compatibility before uploading the world. Preserve the option to return by downloading the current Aternos world separately.

Step by step

  1. Stop the Aternos server. Worlds or download the current world from the Worlds section.

  2. Check that level.dat is at the root of the world folder you will upload to. If you're uploading an archive, remove unnecessary upper folder layers.

  3. Select the file from the world upload tool in the panel. If it doesn't meet the file type and size limit supported by the platform, edit the file first.

  4. Open the server and check the coordinates, spawn point and required dimensions of a known structure.

Keep in mind

Java and Bedrock world archives are not directly installed interchangeably.
