How to Convert a Spigot/Paper World to Vanilla Minecraft: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your Files

Keep your Spigot/Paper world files in an easy-to-access area on your computer. You will have three main folders:

• {world}: Main world file.
• {world_nether}: Nether dimension world file.
• {world_the_end}: End dimension world file.

In this tutorial, the example world names are paper-world, paper-world_nether, and paper-world_the_end.

2. Download the World Files

Download the world files from your server to your local machine.

3. Migrate the Nether

1. Open the paper-world_nether folder.
2. Copy the DIM-1 folder.
3. Navigate to the paper-world folder.
4. Paste the copied DIM-1 folder into the paper-world folder.
5. If DIM-1 already exists in the paper-world folder, rename it to DIM-1_backup for safekeeping.

4. Migrate The End

1. Open the paper-world_the_end folder.
2. Copy the DIM1 folder.
3. Navigate to the paper-world folder.
4. Paste the copied DIM1 folder into the paper-world folder.
5. If DIM1 already exists in the paper-world folder, rename it to DIM1_backup for safekeeping.

5. Verify Your Main World Folder

Ensure that your main world folder (paper-world) now contains both the DIM-1 and DIM1 folders.

6. Upload Your World

If you made these changes on your local machine, use an FTP client to upload the updated paper-world folder back to your server.

7. Load Your World

Install a Vanilla Minecraft server using your server manager and load the newly updated world.
