How to Download the Savegame of Your Mindustry Server

You can download the save of your server to your PC at any time – for example as an additional backup or to move it to another server. A save is always exactly one file with the extension .msav.

Save the current state

The server does not write the running game to disk permanently. So first store it via the console of your dashboard:

1. Open the console
   Open the console of your server in the dashboard.

2. Save the game
   Enter the following command and pick a short name without spaces:

   save myworld
   

   The server confirms the save and places the file at /config/saves/myworld.msav.

Download the file

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard so nothing is written to the file during the download.

2. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

3. Open the directory
   Change into the following directory:

   /config/saves/
   

4. Download the save
   Download the .msav file you want to your PC:

   myworld.msav
   

5. Start the server
   Start your server again.
