Already have a Voyagers of Nera world on your PC that you want to keep playing with friends? You can move it onto your MintServers server, and your world and characters come along with it.
This guide shows you how to find your save folder on your computer and upload it to your server.
Uploading a save replaces the world currently on your server, and any progress made on it will be lost. If you want to keep the current world, create a backup from the Backups tab first. Always make sure your server is completely stopped before uploading or deleting any files.
Step 1: Find Your Save on Your PC
Every Voyagers of Nera world is stored in a folder named after its Server ID, which is a long string of letters and numbers.
If your world was previously running on the Voyagers of Nera Dedicated Server tool instead of being hosted from the game itself, your save will not be in the AppData folder above. Look inside the
BoatGame\Saved\PersistedData folder in the Voyagers of Nera (Dedicated Server) install folder instead. The rest of the steps are the same.
Step 2: Upload the Save to Your Server
PersistedData folder, which sits inside BoatGame and Saved:
📁 BoatGame (in the main directory of your Files tab)
📁 Saved
📁 PersistedData (you are here)
📁 YOURSERVERID (your current world, this is the folder you replace)
CustomConfig folder, because it holds your server name, password, and other settings.PersistedData.If your save is larger than 100MB, the file manager upload may be slow or fail. In that case, follow our guide on how to connect with SFTP and upload the file that way instead.
Checking That Your World Loaded
Once your server is online, join it and check that your world and characters are there. If you are not sure how to connect, see Voyagers of Nera - Joining the server.
🛠️ Troubleshooting Save Upload Issues
I joined a brand new world
Make sure the Server ID folder sits directly inside PersistedData and not inside another folder. Zipping the wrong level on your PC can add an extra folder around it.
My old server world loaded instead
The previous Server ID folder was probably not deleted. Stop the server, remove the old folder, and make sure only the folder you uploaded remains next to CustomConfig.
I cannot find the save folder on my PC
The AppData folder is hidden by default in Windows. Pasting the path into the Windows + R box opens it directly, so you do not need to show hidden files.
Once your world is loaded and your friends are back on board, you are all set.
