How To Trim Your Minecraft World Using WorldBorder

Important!

Your server must be running ‘Paper’, as ‘WorldBorder’ is only compatible with that server type.

To switch your loader, go to Manage Server and select the ‘Switch Loader’ tab on the left, then choose one of the above supported types.

Note:

In this article, we’ll explain how to use ‘WorldBorder’, which is a very useful plugin that allows you to remove the chunks that are outside the world’s boundaries in order to reduce and optimize the world’s size.

1. Download the WorldBorder Plugin

This plugin is a single .jar file that has global compatibility from version 1.15 to 1.19.

208 represents the buffer to add beyond your border and it’s suitable for most servers.
