Reset your world

Start fresh with a brand new world. There are two ways to do it:

• Keep your old world: rename the world folder, for example to world-old.
• Don't need it: delete the world folder.

Either way, a new world is made when your server starts.

Reset your world

1. Stop your server.
2. Open Server Files. To keep the old world, right-click the world folder and choose Rename.
3. Call it something like world-old, and press Enter. If you'd rather delete it, choose Delete instead.
4. Start your server. It makes a brand new world for you.

On Paper and Purpur, the Nether and the End are kept in their own folders, world_nether and world_the_end. Rename or delete those too for a completely fresh start.

Go back to your old world

1. Stop your server.
2. Delete the new world folder.
3. Rename world-old back to world.
4. Start your server.
