In a Minecraft server, there are only three worlds. These consist of the overworld, the Nether, and the End. Most server owners eventually want more than what\u2019s built in Vanilla Minecraft, such as a superflat creative world where builders can build without having to gather materials, a dedicated PvP arena separate from the main survival world, or even a resource world that resets periodically and doesn\u2019t affect the main world\u2019s terrain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally, adding worlds like these means running a second (or possibly a third) Minecraft server. This requires another hosting plan just to host more worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of purchasing and running multiple servers, you can use the Multiverse plugin to create multiple Minecraft worlds on one server and manage them in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Multiverse?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"MultiverseCore<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Multiverse core plugin allows you to create and manage your worlds using commands all in a single server, with the ability to customize each world\u2019s rules, settings, and even inventories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiverse is only supported on Spigot, Paper, Purpur, and Bukkit. If your server software is set to vanilla or other software, you need to switch it to one of the supported server software. It is highly recommended to use the Paper server software, as Multiverse is well optimized with Paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, we will use Cybrancee<\/a> as the host, which provides a one-click install library to directly install Multiverse onto your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Cybrancee's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you complete the setup, you can now install the Multiverse plugin. You can either download the plugin from the official Modrinth page<\/a> or install it directly on your server in your server panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most hosting providers, including Cybrancee, allow you to install the plugin directly from the panel. Click the plugins tab in your server panel and search for Multiverse. Click the download button, and it will automatically be downloaded and added to your server\u2019s plugins folder. Make sure you restart your server after installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Multiverse<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you choose to install it from the official Modrinth page, click the green Download button and select your server\u2019s version and software. You might see two versions: a stable version and a beta version. Make sure to choose the stable version for the best performance. Once you have finished downloading the plugin JAR file, head to your server files and drop the JAR file into the \/plugins folder, and restart your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a world<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Creating<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you finish installing the plugin and have restarted your server, you can finally create worlds. To create a world, you need to type the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/mv create <worldname> <environment><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can choose your world name. Make sure to pick a recognizable name and use underscores (_) instead of spaces if your world name is more than one word. For the environment, you can pick between NORMAL, NETHER, or END. Normal means the overworld. You must pick one of the environments to generate the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Creating<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You are also able to add flags when creating a world to adjust its generation. When you add a flag, you add it to the end of the command. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/mv create <worldname> <environment> --flag1 --flag2<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some flags you can add when generating a world to adjust the world’s generation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flag Name<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td>What to add to the command<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
World type<\/td>You can generate the world to be either flat (a completely flat world with only a few layers of dirt), amplified (extremely high terrain peaks), or large_biomes (more expansive biomes).<\/td>--world-type <worldtype><\/code><\/td><\/tr>
Seed<\/td>If you have a specific seed in mind, you can use the seed flag to generate the world with that specific seed.<\/td>--seed <seed><\/code><\/td><\/tr>
No structures<\/td>If you prefer a world without any structures, you can use the no structures flag to prevent the generation of them.<\/td>--no-structures<\/code><\/td><\/tr>
Generate bonus chest<\/td>You can also generate a bonus chest that has starter tools, items, and food. It will be located at the world spawn once the world is generated.<\/td>--generate-bonus-chest<\/code><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you press Enter, Multiverse will begin generating the world. This process may take up to 2 minutes. You will see a notification in the chat and in the server console when the world generation is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teleporting to your new world<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Teleporting<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To teleport to your new world, you must use the Multiverse teleport command. You cannot use the vanilla \/tp command to do this. Type the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/mv tp <username> <worldname><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The username entered will be teleported into that world once the command is run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjusting the first spawn location<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By default, players who first join your server will spawn in whatever world is shown in server.properties; usually the name is called \u201cworld\u201d. If you wish to have new players land in a specific world when joining, you need to run two commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to first allow the first-spawn-override configuration by setting this to true using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/mv config first-spawn-override true<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, you need to specify which world you want new players spawning in. Run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/mv config first-spawn-location <worldname><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, new players will spawn in that world you specified instead of the default Minecraft world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per-world configuration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Modifying<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Each world can have its own rules, such as a creative world with no mobs and PvP, or a survival world with hard difficulty and PvP on. To modify the properties of each world, use the \/mv modify command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/mv modify <worldname> set <property> <value><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the most commonly adjusted properties include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
