/gimport - Import existing worlds

Do you already have a world from another server or from single player? With /gimport you can import it into the GWorld system.

Preparation

1. Stop the server (recommended, but not mandatory).
2. Copy your world folder to the root directory of your server (where server.properties is located).

Important: The folder must not contain any spaces!
❌ My awesome world
✅ My_awesome_world

The command

/gimport <FolderName> <Environment> [Generator]

Parameters explained

1. FolderName (required):
   • Must match the folder name exactly.
2. Environment (required):
   • Helps GWorld assign the correct type (e.g., for ceiling height in the Nether). This argument must be specified.
3. Generator (optional):
   • Must be specified if the world was created with a generator.

   To use a generator, you must have the appropriate plugin installed!

Example

You have uploaded a folder named Lobby_Backup.

1. Execute the command:

   /gimport Lobby_Backup NORMAL

2. GWorld recognizes the files (level.dat, region files).
3. The world is registered and loaded immediately.
4. You can now teleport there: /gtp Lobby_Backup.

Note about the database: If you have MySQL enabled, the imported world is automatically entered into the database and is also available on other servers after a restart (provided the files are also located there or are synchronized).
