In this guide, we will show you how to migrate from a Minecraft Paper server back to Vanilla!


This guide is split into 4 parts detailing what you need to do to migrate your server.

  1. Migrating the Nether
  2. Migrating the End
  3. Installing the Vanilla Jar
  4. Cleaning Up (OPTIONAL)
DISCLAIMER: ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE MIGRATING OR UPGRADING YOUR SERVERS!


Migrating the Nether

Step #1:
Go to the File Manager, and find your world's Nether folder.
(usually it's suffixed with _nether)

This is the nether folder on if your world is named "world"

Step #2:

Open the folder, then right-click on the DIM-1 folder and hit Move.
Then you have to move that folder inside your world folder.
The easiest way to move the folder to your world on the panel is by writing the following input ../<your world's name>/ DIM-1 and replacing <your world's name> with your world's name. Like in the picture below.

In this example, the world is named "world".

Migrating the End

Step #1:
Go to the File Manager, and find your world's End folder.
(usually it's suffixed with _the_end)

This is the nether folder on if your world is named "world"

Step #2:

Open the folder, then right-click on the DIM1 folder and hit Move.
Then you have to move that folder inside your world folder.
The easiest way to move the folder to your world on the panel is by writing the following input ../<your world's name>/ DIM1 and replacing <your world's name> with your world's name. Like in the picture below.

In this example, the world is named "world".
