Converting Spigot-Based Worlds to Vanilla
Spigot and its derivatives, such as Paper and Purpur, format the world storage differently than Vanilla and Singleplayer worlds. This guide will show you how to change those back to the Vanilla format.
Merging the Correct Folders
Spigot and its derivative forks put the three vanilla dimensions in three separate folders. These are labeled worldName
worldName_nether
and worldName_the_end
. Where worldName
matches what is set in the Game Settings or server.properties file for the setting level-name
. (By default, it is named world)
To merge the folders:
Turn off the server if it is online. This will ensure the world has been saved in its most recent state.
Find the Nether folder (labeled
worldName_nether
) in the server files.Inside that folder find the folder labeled
DIM-1
.Move the
DIM-1
folder to the world folder. The folder to move it to should be named yourworldName
Find the End folder (labeled
worldName_the_end
) in the server files.Inside that folder find the folder labeled
DIM1
.Move the
DIM1
folder to the world folder.
Once all the folders have been merged properly, your world folder should look something like this:
With that completed, you can now load up this world in vanilla Minecraft.
