How to Download a World File and Upload to Singleplayer

Downloading your Minecraft world file from your Beacon Hosting server and uploading it to your singleplayer game is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through each step to ensure your world is transferred correctly.

Step 1: Access Your Server Files

Log into the Beacon Hosting Control Panel and navigate to the server you wish to download the world file from.
Open the File Manager or connect using an FTP client to access your server files.

Step 2: Locate and Download the World Folder

Your Minecraft world is stored in folders typically named:

• world — your main Overworld
• world_nether — your Nether dimension
• world_the_end — your End dimension

To ensure all progress is saved, download all three folders.
Before downloading, compress them into a single .zip file using the File Manager’s “Archive” or “Compress” option.

[WARNING] Stop your server before downloading world files to prevent data corruption.

Once compressed, download the .zip file to your computer.

Step 3: Upload the World to Singleplayer

Locate your Minecraft saves folder on your local computer:

• Windows: C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves
• Linux: ~/.minecraft/saves

Extract your downloaded world folder (for example, world) into the saves directory.
Ensure the folder contains files like level.dat, region, and data — not another folder inside.

Launch Minecraft → select Singleplayer → your world should appear in the list.

[INFO] If the world does not load correctly, ensure your Minecraft version matches the version your Beacon Hosting server was running.
