Transferring Your Files
- Log in to your MintServers account and navigate to your server control panel.
- For migrating from another host, locate and use the One-Click Importer available in the control panel. This handy tool simplifies server migration by automatically transferring files and configurations directly from your previous host without needing to download everything manually.
- Once your files are fully uploaded or imported, verify your server settings (especially your World Name variables in the startup tab) to ensure they perfectly match your newly uploaded files.
- Head over to the Console tab and click Start to boot up your server and ensure everything is working correctly!
🛠️ Troubleshooting Your Transfer
If your server generates a brand new world instead of loading your old one, double-check that your startup settings match the exact name of the world folder you just transferred.
If you are still running into errors or the importer tool gets stuck, no worries! Just open a support ticket and our team will gladly jump in and instruct you on how to resolve the migration.
