How to Upload a Custom World to Your Minecraft Server
You can play on a premade world from the panel, or upload your own singleplayer or downloaded world.
QUICK ANSWER
Stop the server, upload your world folder to the server's root directory over SFTP, make sure level-name in server.properties matches the folder name, set the same Minecraft version in the Version Changer, then start the server.
Fact
The server loads the world folder named in level-name inside server.properties. The default is world, so either rename your folder to world or change level-name to your folder name.
Using a Premade World

- 2Browse or search for a world that fits your server.
- 3Click Install next to it.

Uploading a Custom World
