How to Reset the Nether on Your Minecraft Bedrock Server
Learn about resetting the Nether dimension on your Minecraft Bedrock Edition dedicated server at XGamingServer.
Resetting the Nether on a Bedrock server is more complex than on Java Edition. This guide explains your options and why the process is different.
⚠️ Warning: Always create a backup before attempting any world modifications. Go to
Backupsin the sidebar to create one.
Why Bedrock Is Different
Minecraft Java Edition stores each dimension (Overworld, Nether, End) in separate folders, making it easy to delete one dimension without affecting the others.
Minecraft Bedrock Edition uses a single LevelDB database (the db folder inside your world) to store all dimensions together. There are no separate folders for the Nether or End. This means you cannot simply delete a folder to reset a dimension.
Options for Resetting the Nether
Option 1: Use a World Editor (Recommended)
A world editor like Amulet can selectively remove Nether chunks from your Bedrock world while keeping the Overworld intact.
Create a Backup
In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Backups and create a backup.
Stop Your Server
Stop your server from the Dashboard.
Download Your World
Go to Files, navigate to the worlds directory, and download your world folder. See our download world guide for details.
Edit With Amulet
Open your world in Amulet Editor, switch to the Nether dimension, select all chunks, and delete them.
Upload the Edited World
Follow our upload save guide to upload the edited world back to your server.
Option 2: Start a New World
If you do not need to keep your Overworld progress, the simplest option is to generate a new world entirely.
Stop Your Server
Log in to the XGamingServer Panel and stop your server.
Delete the World Folder
Go to Files, navigate to the worlds directory, and delete your current world folder.
Start Your Server
Start your server. A brand new world with a fresh Nether will be generated.
📝 Note: The Nether regenerates its terrain in any chunks that have not been explored yet. If you only need new terrain, you can explore new areas of the Nether instead of resetting it entirely.
