What it is good at
- World creation, loading, importing and deletion
- Custom presets including void and flat-world workflows
- Designed for modern Paper and Folia environments
What types of servers should consider it?
- Servers that need multi-world management and may use Folia
- New Paper servers wanting a modern world-management option
Pricing and distribution
The plugin is distributed as a free option. Check the official page for the current download source and license.
What to check before using it
- If you depend on specific Multiverse addons, verify equivalent functionality before migrating.
Also check the plugin's current dependency list, migration notes and supported server versions on the official page before changing a production server.
World managers are not interchangeable without planning: inventories, portals, spawn points and plugins referencing world names can require separate migration.
Common questions
What does Worlds do?
Modern world management focused on Paper and Folia, with world importing and generation presets.
Is Worlds a plugin or a mod?
Worlds is listed here because it is used as a server plugin in its supported plugin environment. Some projects also publish builds for other platforms; use the official download page to choose the correct platform build.
Do players need to install it?
Most server plugins run server-side and do not require players to install the same JAR. Features that rely on resource packs, Bedrock bridges or optional client integrations can still change what the player must download or accept.
How do I install it?
Use the Worlds release built for your Paper or Folia target. Back up all world folders before importing or replacing a world manager; verify which worlds are primary, which are plugin-managed and which generation presets are supported.
How do I know the plugin loaded?
Import a disposable test world, travel into and out of it, restart, and verify spawn, inventories, portals and world persistence. Repeat on Folia only with a build explicitly supporting that platform.
What if it does not load?
If an imported world does not appear, check the expected world folder, metadata and name collision rather than renaming region files blindly. If migrating from Multiverse, verify that other plugins provide any missing portals or inventory grouping features.
