How to Start Fresh on Your Minecraft Server (Reset World)

How to Start Fresh on Your Minecraft Server

Want to start over with a clean world? Here's how to reset your Minecraft server in a few steps.

Option 1: Delete Only the World (Keep Plugins/Mods)

This keeps your plugins, mods, and config files but resets the world.

1. Stop your server from the DoomHosting Panel.
2. Go to Files and delete the world folder(s). These are usually named world, world_nether, and world_the_end.
3. Start your server. A new world will be generated automatically.

Option 2: Full Reset (Delete Everything)

This gives you a completely clean server.

1. Stop your server.
2. Go to Files and delete everything.
3. Go to Versions and pick the version you want to run (Vanilla, Forge, Fabric, etc.).
4. Start your server. It will download fresh server files and generate a new world.

Changing Server Version

If you want to switch to a different Minecraft version or server type:

1. Stop your server.
2. Go to Versions in the sidebar.
3. Pick your server type (Vanilla, Paper, Spigot, Forge, Fabric) and version.
4. Start your server.

Note: Changing versions may not be compatible with existing worlds or mods. Always back up first if you want to keep your data.

Need a Backup First?

Before deleting anything, you can download your world files via Files or SFTP. Just select the folders and download them to your computer.
