How to Reset the Nether or End on Your Minecraft Server

Learn how to regenerate the Nether or End dimension without resetting your Overworld.

After major Minecraft updates, you may want to reset the Nether or End to access new structures and biomes without losing your Overworld builds.

Resetting a Dimension

Stop your server

Access the XGamingServer panel and stop your server.

Create a backup

Go to Backups and create a backup in case you want to restore later.

Delete the dimension folder

Go to Files and delete the appropriate folder:

Paper / Spigot servers:

Nether: Delete the world_nether folder
End: Delete the world_the_end folder

Vanilla servers:

Nether: Delete the world/DIM-1 folder
End: Delete the world/DIM1 folder

⚠️ Warning: This permanently deletes all builds, chests, and items in that dimension. Make sure you've backed up first.

Start your server

Start the server. The deleted dimension will regenerate with fresh terrain.

📝 Note: Only newly generated chunks will have new features. If you've already explored the entire End, resetting it is the only way to get new End Cities.

Which Folder Structure Do I Have?

Server Type	Nether Folder	End Folder
Paper / Spigot	`world_nether/`	`world_the_end/`
Vanilla	`world/DIM-1/`	`world/DIM1/`

💡 Tip: Not sure which folder structure your server uses? Check your root directory in Files. If you see world_nether as a separate folder, you're running Paper/Spigot format.
