Reset Your Minecraft World

How to wipe and regenerate your Minecraft server world while keeping settings and plugins.

World-Only Reset

  1. Stop your server
  2. In the XGamingServer Panel, click Files
  3. Delete the world/ folder (and world_nether/, world_the_end/ if they exist)
  4. Optionally change the level-seed in server.properties for a different world
  5. Start the server — a new world generates automatically

Your server settings, plugins, and mods remain intact.

Keep Plugins But Reset Everything Else

  1. Download your plugins/ folder (to keep configs)
  2. Delete all server files
  3. Reinstall via Dashboard → Reinstall Server
  4. Upload your plugins/ folder back
  5. Start

Full Server Reinstall

  1. Stop the server
  2. Delete all files via Files
  3. Click Reinstall Server on the Dashboard

⚠️ Warning: Always download a backup before wiping. You can't undo a world delete.

💡 Tip: To start a new world with a different seed without deleting the old one, change level-name in server.properties to a different folder name (e.g., level-name=world2).
