How to Add a Savegame to Your Necesse Server

A Necesse world is a single .zip file named after the world – for example My_World.zip. You upload this file to your server and then enter its name in the dashboard.

Find your local world

1. Open the savegame folder
   Press Windows key + R, enter the following path and confirm with Enter:

   %appdata%\Necesse\saves\worlds
   

2. Select the world file
   Every world is stored as its own .zip file in this folder. Pick the file of the world you want to transfer.

Upload the world

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard. While the server is running it writes to the world file itself.

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

3. Open the directory
   Change into the following directory:

   /saves/worlds/
   

4. Upload the world file
   Upload your .zip file into this directory. If a file with the same name already exists, rename your uploaded file or download the existing one first.

5. Enter the world name in the dashboard
   Open the dashboard, go to the settings and enter the name of your world file in the Save Name field – without the .zip extension (e.g. My_World for My_World.zip).

6. Start the server
   Save the settings and start your server. Your uploaded world is now loaded on startup.
