How to Create or Switch Worlds on Your Aloft Server

Your Aloft server loads the world named in the Map Name setting. If no world with that name exists yet, the server creates a fresh one when it starts. Your other worlds stay on the server, so you can switch back to them at any time.

Creating a New World

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Change Map Name to a name you haven't used before. Use letters and numbers only, with no spaces, up to 20 characters.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

The first start on a new name takes a little longer while the world is generated.

Switching Back to a Previous World

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Set Map Name back to the name of the world you want to play.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

Tip

Want to wipe everything and start completely fresh instead? Follow our reset guide. We recommend downloading a backup first if you might want your old worlds later.
