This guide will walk you through the process of transferring a Bedrock world from a server to your Bedrock singleplayer game using SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). By following these steps, you'll learn how to connect to your server, download your desired world file, and move it to the appropriate folder. This will allow you to play your server world offline in Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
🔌 CONNECTING TO YOUR SERVER USING SFTP
1. Head over to your server's Control Panel and turn the server offline. Once that's done, go to the SFTP tab in your game panel to find your SFTP connection info, then connect to your server.
2. Next, you will need to connect to your server using SFTP. This allows you to easily transfer large files from your server to your computer's Minecraft files. If you're unsure how to connect to your server using SFTP, check out our guide on how to do that HERE!
3. Once you're connected, find your server's 'worlds' folder in FileZilla (SFTP) and open it. Look for the world folder you want to use and drag it into your Bedrock's save/world folder for singleplayer, as explained below. In this example, the name of the world is 'Bedrock Level.'
📁How to Access your Singleplayer Bedrock Save Folder
1. For WINDOWS users, press the 'Windows + E' keys at the same time on your keyboard to open your File Explorer.
2. In the search bar at the top of your File Explorer, copy and paste the following into that search bar '%localappdata%'.
3. Open the 'packages' folder
4. Open the "Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe" folder
5. Open the 'LocalState' folder
6. Open the 'Games' Folder
7. Open the 'com.mojang' folder
8. Open the 'minecraftWorlds' folder
9. Now you can drag your world folder from SFTP into your Bedrock save/world folder for singleplayer.
10. Open Minecraft and click on the "Play" button from the home screen. If successful, the world you added in the step above will be loaded! Congratulations! 🥳
🚧TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS🚧
- Double-check File Locations: Ensure you are placing the world folder in the correct path: LocalState > Games > com.mojang > minecraftWorlds. Incorrect placement will prevent Minecraft from recognizing the world.
- Verify the World Folder Name: Make sure the folder name doesn't have extra characters or spaces. Renaming the folder to match its original server name may resolve loading issues.
- Restart Minecraft: If the world doesn't appear after following all steps, close and reopen Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Sometimes, the game needs to refresh to detect newly added worlds.
- Check File Permissions: Ensure that your computer has the necessary permissions to move and modify files in the Minecraft game directories. Run File Explorer as an administrator if needed.
- Update Minecraft: Make sure your Minecraft Bedrock Edition is up to date. An outdated version may not recognize new worlds transferred from a server.
