Upload, select, and protect an existing Minecraft world through Arix and Pterodactyl.

Prepare the world folder

Close Minecraft or stop the old server, then compress the complete world directory. When opened, that folder should directly contain level.dat plus region and data folders; remove accidental double nesting such as MyWorld/MyWorld/level.dat.

Upload the world

Konnect Hosting Arix Addons Minecraft worlds browser
The Worlds page separates browsable maps from content already installed on the server.
  1. Stop the Konnect server and back up its current files.
  2. Upload the archive with Files or SFTP and extract it in the server root.
  3. Open Minecraft → Worlds when available, or open Properties.
  4. Select the uploaded world or set Level Name to the exact folder name.
  5. Start the server and verify spawn, inventories, dimensions, and player data.

Use the guided Properties editor

Arix Addons exposes common server.properties values as labeled controls. Use its search to find Level Name and related settings instead of manually editing when possible. Save changes before restarting.
