How to Reset Your World

Resetting your world will delete all existing terrain, structures, and player changes. A new world will be generated the next time your server starts.

โš ๏ธ Warning: This is irreversible. Make sure to back up your world first if you want to keep it.

Method 1 โ€” Delete the World Folder

  1. Stop your server.
  2. Go to the Files tab in your panel.
  3. Locate and delete the world folder(s). These are usually named:
    • world
    • world_nether
    • world_the_end
  4. Restart your server. A fresh world will be generated automatically.

Method 2 โ€” Reinstall the Server

If you want a completely clean slate, you can reinstall your server entirely.

โš ๏ธ Warning: Reinstalling will delete all server files, including plugins, configs, and worlds โ€” not just the world folder.

  1. Stop your server.
  2. Go to your server's Settings tab in the panel.
  3. Click Reinstall Server and confirm.
  4. Wait for the reinstall to complete, then start your server.
