Export Worlds

Before exporting any worlds, make sure the following is set correctly in your configuration:

hasServer: true

This enables the built-in HTTP server required for world exports.

How to Export a World

1. Open the Main Menu

   • Navigate to: World Menu → Select a World

2. Finish and Export

   • Press the Q (drop) key on the selected world.

   • This will finish the world and copy its UUID to your clipboard.

   • The export process will then automatically package the world.

3. Download the Exported World

   • Once exported, you can download the world using this URL format:

     http://<configured_host>:<configured_port>/uuid/<uuid>

   • Example: http://127.0.0.1:8080/uuid/79fb9da9-3924-46ec-a891-ceaa419e4028

Export Format

The world will be exported as a .tar.gz archive containing all world files and a meta.json file.

Example meta.json contents:

{
  "creatorUniqueId": "7501a26e-f139-41a6-a089-0a403148f58c",
  "creditUniqueIds": [
    "7501a26e-f139-41a6-a089-0a403148f58c",
    "75a69c30-461d-46d5-98bc-ea9c37e2cf53"
  ],
  "generator": "Chessboard",
  "group": "test",
  "location": {
    "pitch": 21.570608,
    "x": -41.665252802613814,
    "y": 65.0,
    "yaw": -75.54416,
    "z": -40.622370328961274
  },
  "name": "review",
  "state": "Not Started",
  "uniqueId": "79fb9da9-3924-46ec-a891-ceaa419e4028"
}

Notes

• The HTTP server will only run if hasServer is enabled.

• Each world is identified by its UUID (found in the export folder or copied after finishing a world).

• Exports are stored in:
