Before installing a map on a Minecraft server

Several prerequisites are required before any map installation on a Minecraft server. If you don't check them beforehand, you could be in for some nasty surprises...

• Version compatibility Please ensure that the version you wish to install is compatible with that of your server.
• Mods Unless your server uses the same mods as the map you want to install, avoid using those that do.
• Control blocks Don't forget to enable command blocks on your server if your map uses them.
• Backup Always perform a backup before making any major changes to your server.

Method 1: Replace the default world

This first method is aimed at players who want to know how to replace the main world of their server with a new map.

• First, perform a complete backup of your server, in case there's a problem installing the card.
• Then use the command "/stop in the console to stop your server.

• From here, move your old world if you wish to keep it, or delete it directly.
• Copy the folder of your new map and paste it in the server root.

• Rename your new map's folder to " world ".
• Restart your server. Normally, your default world will be the new map you installed.

Method 2: Adding a map with a plugin

This second method involves a plugin is far more flexible, allowing you to manage multiple worlds on a single server. Taking the example of the Multiversehere's how:

• start with to copy the folder for your new map at the root of your server.
• Next, rename folder (for example, "my_new_world").
• Use the import order provided by your plugin.
• Finally, use the teleport command provided by your plugin to get you to the new world you've installed.

Remark

For Multiverse on Minecraft :

• The import command is " /mv import <nomdudossier> normal ". In our example, this would be "/mv import my_new_world normal".
• For the teleportation command, type " /mvtp <nomdumonde> ". In our example, this would be "/mvtp my_new_world".
