I've been working a lot on my world on my computer in single player mode. My dad got me a server and so I want to transfer my world onto my server. How is this possible?
I noticed that in %appdata%\roaming\.minecraft\saves, the directories in there look a lot like the world directory on my server. Can I simply transfer my saves directory to my server?
Yes, there are saves in %appdata%\roaming\.minecraft\saves that you can use. All you need to do is drop it into the server folder after you create it and specify in the server config file (World_Name=) and write the name of you world.
In newer versions within the server.properties file the variable is now called level-name instead of World_Name.
Drag the folder of the world into your server folder then --->
you can just set the Level-name: (Name of folder in servers main folder)
If your default world is named world but you want to change it to a world called world2
You just drag the world2's world folder into the server folder and switch
Level-name: world to Level-name world2
This will be in the config file in your server folder
