# How to Reset the Nether or End on Your Minecraft Server (/docs/minecraft/reset-nether-end)



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

  <div className="fd-step">
    Stop your server [#1-stop-your-server]

    Access the [XGamingServer panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com) and stop your server.
  </div>

  <div className="fd-step">
    Create a backup [#2-create-a-backup]

    Go to `Backups` and create a backup in case you want to restore later.
  </div>

  <div className="fd-step">
    Delete the dimension folder [#3-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.
  </div>

  <div className="fd-step">
    Start your server [#4-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? [#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.
