This is usually due to frequent lag spikes, low ticks per second, or insufficient RAM and CPU power to run your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is possible to move your Minecraft world to a new server, and all server data, including builds, inventories, and plugin data, won\u2019t be lost as long as you follow the steps in this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, we\u2019ll show you how to safely migrate your world to a new server. We\u2019ll cover Cybrancee\u2019s built-in importer tool and a manual method if your old host doesn\u2019t support it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Before you begin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a good idea to notify all of your players that the Minecraft server will be migrating to a new server, as your server will have to be offline for a bit while you migrate everything, and depending on how much is being transferred, it can take longer. It\u2019s also a good idea to schedule it during a low-traffic time, like during the night or a weekday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, it\u2019s highly recommended to back up your entire server prior to initiating this transfer process. Most panels have a Backups tab that can make an archive of your server that you can download to your computer. If your host doesn\u2019t support it, you\u2019ll have to download the whole server folder over SFTP. Keep the server files on your computer until players have been on the new server for a few days and confirmed nothing is missing or broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prepare both servers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before initiating the process, you\u2019ll need to prepare both servers to ensure there will be no issues during the transfer process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll need to make sure the server software and version on both servers match. This means if your server uses Paper, make sure the new server uses Paper. Do not update Minecraft versions during the transfer process, as this may cause issues such as corruption during the transfer process. Update the version after completing the transfer process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you use modpacks on your server, make sure it uses the same loader version. Different versions can contain different mods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, make sure the Java version of your server is correct. You can double-check this in the settings tab in your server\u2019s panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option 1: Use a Built-In Server Importer (Recommended)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"553\" src=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-11-1024x553.png\" alt=\"The importer tab in the Cybrancee server control panel where you can importer server files via SFTP\" class=\"wp-image-8355\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8516320474777448;width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-11-1024x553.png 1024w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-11-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-11-767x414.png 767w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-11-1536x829.png 1536w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-11-511x276.png 511w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-11-1022x552.png 1022w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-11-920x496.png 920w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-11-1600x863.png 1600w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-11.png 1917w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fastest way to move your world into your server is to use your server control panel\u2019s built-in importer. Instead of downloading every file to your computer and uploading it again, the importer connects straight to your old host over SFTP and copies your files from your old server to your new server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all hosting providers have this option, but for those who do, like Cybrancee, this is highly recommended as it will save lots of time and effort in migrating your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"412\" src=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-3.png\" alt=\"The SFTP details found in the Cybrancee server control panel\" class=\"wp-image-8347\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7727272727272727;width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-3.png 730w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-3-512x288.png 512w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-3-510x288.png 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 1: You\u2019ll need to find your old host\u2019s SFTP details. This is usually found in the server control panel, most likely under a settings menu. You\u2019ll need the server host address (it usually looks like <a href=\"http:\/\/node1.oldhost.com\">node1.oldhost.com<\/a> or an IP address), the port (usually it\u2019s \u201c2022\u201d), the username, and the password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"325\" height=\"103\" src=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-2.png\" alt=\"Running \/save-all in the server console\" class=\"wp-image-8346\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3.1553398058252426;width:325px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-2.png 325w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-2-300x95.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2: You\u2019ll need to save and stop your old server. Run the command \/save-all in your old server; this will write all loaded chunks and player data to the disk immediately. You can run this from either the console or in-game. After running, stop your server in the server control panel. As the server stops, do not run a kill command on your server and just wait for it to fully power off. This can affect your server\u2019s data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 3: Stop your new server if it\u2019s already running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-6-1024x504.png\" alt=\"The importer tab in the Cybrancee server control panel where you can importer server files via SFTP with all fields filled in\" class=\"wp-image-8350\" style=\"aspect-ratio:2.0259740259740258;width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-6-1024x504.png 1024w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-6-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-6-767x378.png 767w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-6-1536x757.png 1536w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-6-512x252.png 512w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-6-1023x504.png 1023w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-6-920x453.png 920w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-6.png 1543w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 4: Open the importer in your new server\u2019s control panel and fill in the host, port, username, and password. Make sure to leave the source folder and destination folder as \u201c\/\u201d so it copies everything from your old server to your new server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 5: Make sure you set your mode to SFTP if it is not selected by default. If your old host doesn\u2019t offer anything else, use FTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 6: Make sure you double-check that everything is correct before importing. In Cybrancee\u2019s server panel, you must click the \u201cTest\u201d button to confirm the importer can connect and log in to your old host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1007\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-5.png\" alt=\"The confirm import screen with an option to wipe server files prior to importing.\" class=\"wp-image-8349\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8851963746223566;width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-5.png 1007w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-5-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-5-767x406.png 767w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-5-510x270.png 510w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-5-920x486.png 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1007px) 100vw, 1007px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 7: Press the import button, and you\u2019ll be presented with the option of wiping all server files before it starts adding your server files from your old host. To prevent duplicate files, please toggle this on and press \u201cImport\u201d again to start the importing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note that the importer only copies your server files, and nothing more. This won\u2019t change your Java version or other hosting settings in your control panel. You\u2019ll have to adjust these settings manually in your new server control panel. The importer also doesn\u2019t copy over databases. If a plugin stores data in a database (like MySQL), you\u2019ll need to move it separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option 2: Manually transferring your server<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your old host doesn\u2019t offer SFTP or FTP access or you have problems connecting your server with the importer, you\u2019ll need to manually import your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For manually transferring your server, you\u2019ll need an SFTP solution, such as FileZilla, during the migration process. An SFTP solution helps you securely transfer, access, and manage files. In this case, it will be used to upload your world files to your new server. We highly discourage using an FTP solution as it\u2019s unencrypted and less secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"325\" height=\"103\" src=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-4.png\" alt=\"Running \/save-all in the server console\" class=\"wp-image-8348\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3.1553398058252426;width:325px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-4.png 325w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-4-300x95.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 1: You\u2019ll need to save your old server and shut it down. To save your server, either in the server console or in-game, run the \/save-all command. This immediately writes every loaded chunk and all player data to disk, so nothing from the last few minutes of play is lost. After this is done, stop your server in your server&#8217;s control panel. As the server stops, do not run a kill command on your server and just wait for it to fully power off. This can affect your server\u2019s data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2: On your new server, make sure your server runs the same software and server version as the old server. If you are using modded server software, such as Forge or Fabric, make sure the new server has the same loader and modpack build installed. Updating software or versions during a migration will most likely break your server&#8217;s plugins or mods, or, in serious cases, cause your server to crash or corrupt. Also, make sure you use the same Java version as your Minecraft version needs. Changing the version can prevent your server from starting. Make sure your new server is stopped, and you have cleared all server files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"740\" data-id=\"8356\" src=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-8-edited.png\" alt=\"All server files located in FileZilla\" class=\"wp-image-8356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-8-edited.png 950w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-8-edited-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-8-edited-768x598.png 768w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-8-edited-512x399.png 512w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-8-edited-920x717.png 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"462\" height=\"226\" data-id=\"8351\" src=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-7.png\" alt=\"All server files selected in FileZilla with an option to download them\" class=\"wp-image-8351\" style=\"width:462px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-7.png 462w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-7-300x147.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 462px) 100vw, 462px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 3: Download all of your server files from your server panel. You can do this via SFTP (by connecting to your old server and downloading from there) or manually downloading from your server control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are able to, zip the entire server. If you have a big world or lots of data, transferring them one by one is much slower. Most server panels have an archive or compress option, so if possible, download the compressed zip file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"762\" height=\"666\" data-id=\"8353\" src=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-9.png\" alt=\"The server SFTP details with the address, username, and password details.\" class=\"wp-image-8353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-9.png 762w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-9-300x262.png 300w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-9-511x447.png 511w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"737\" height=\"318\" data-id=\"8354\" src=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-10.png\" alt=\"Options to upload files to your server, either by uploading files or folders from your computer or from a URL\" class=\"wp-image-8354\" style=\"width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-10.png 737w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-10-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-10-510x220.png 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Step 4: Connect to your new server\u2019s file manager via SFTP and upload either the zip file or all server files to your new server. If you uploaded a zip file, extract it in your panel\u2019s file manager and check that your world folder sits in the root folder, not inside another folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>After moving<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you finish migrating your server, you\u2019ll want to check the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>First<\/strong>, go into your server.properties file and verify that level-name matches the world folder name exactly. Plus, make sure online-mode, gamemode, difficulty, and level-seed match the old server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Secondly<\/strong>, you\u2019ll want to start your new server. Watch your server\u2019s console tab during startup and check for errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Finally<\/strong>, you\u2019ll want to give players the new IP address of your server. Make sure you give them both the IP and port. If your server uses a custom domain, update the A records and SRV records to make sure it uses the new server information so players can continue to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also highly recommended you keep your old server for a few days prior to deleting it. This is a precaution in case something didn\u2019t transfer over properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Troubleshooting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new world folder was generated instead of using the world folder I uploaded: The level-name property in your server\u2019s server.properties file is most likely not set properly. Double-check the property, and if it is correct, verify that the world folder did not end up in a nested folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My plugins\/mods are throwing errors: You may have an incorrect server version or an incorrect plugin version. Double-check the compatibility of the plugins with the server version, and if necessary, delete and upload a new plugin JAR file if changing the version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The server is not starting: Look for a Java version error in the console and switch the version if necessary. If the version is correct, check that eula.txt exists and that it contains eula=true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My players joined, and they have empty inventories: This is most likely because online-mode may have changed. Make sure online-mode matches your old server\u2019s server.properties and restart your server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When doing the importer test, it failed: Make sure you have the host and port in separate fields without the \u201csftp:\/\/\u201d prefix (or similar). If everything is correct, confirm your old hosting account is active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nether and\/or end got reset: Only the world folder was copied, not the nether and end folders. Upload the nether and\/or end folders from the backup you generated prior to the transfer process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FAQ<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How long does a server migration take?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small worlds usually take a couple of minutes to import, but larger worlds or big modpacks can take longer. Using a built-in server importer is faster than a manual transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I move a singleplayer world to a server?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. You\u2019ll need to find the world in your saves folder, usually .minecraft\/saves, and use option 2 to upload the world folder. Make sure after uploading your server files, you change the server.properties file property \u201clevel-name\u201d to the folder\u2019s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do I need to keep my old server active during the import?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The server should be stopped, but the hosting account has to exist since the import pulls files from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I update my Minecraft version during the migration?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but it\u2019s not recommended. Doing so can cause corruption or other errors to occur. It\u2019s recommended to migrate on the same version, confirm everything is working properly, and then update the version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving your Minecraft server to a new host doesn\u2019t mean you have to restart. As long as you take the correct steps to back up and transfer your server to your new server, your builds, inventories, and data will come with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two options to transfer your server. You can use a built-in importer, such as Cybrancee\u2019s, to pull server files over automatically, or you can upload all your files manually via SFTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once everything is moved over, double-check your server.properties file, watch the console for any errors or warnings, and keep your old server for a few days in case anything was missed or something goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want a Minecraft server for your friends, or a public server to grow your community, choose <a href=\"https:\/\/cybrancee.com\/client\/aff.php?aff=441\">Cybrancee\u2019s Minecraft Server Hosting<\/a>.
