🛰️ Step 1: Export from the Panel

To keep things fast and scannable, we recommend using the File Manager to grab your data.

1. Log in to your Witchly Panel and Stop your server.

2. Navigate to the File Manager tab.

3. Locate your world folder (usually named world).

4. Right-click the folder and select Compress.

5. Once the .zip file is created, right-click it and select Download.

💡 Pro Tip: Always use your regular browser for downloads. Third-party download managers can sometimes corrupt your world chunks!

🔄 Step 2: Preparing for Single-Player

Before you can load into your world locally, you must Unpack (unzip) the archive you just downloaded.

For Spigot or Paper Users 🛠️

If you are running a Spigot or Paper server, your Nether and End dimensions are stored in separate folders (world_nether and world_the_end). You must merge these back into the main world folder before playing in single-player.
