Dedicated server

TalePainter exports a complete save (server config, players folder and the world). On a server you only need the world itself, which is in universe/worlds/default/ inside the export.

The most common mistake

If you copy the whole export folder into the server’s worlds folder, you get a world inside a world. The server doesn’t find it and loads its default world instead.

Steps

1. Export with world height 320. Servers don’t load other heights without a mod.
2. Stop the server.
3. Back up the server’s universe/worlds/default folder.
4. Copy the exported universe/worlds/default folder over the server’s universe/worlds/default.
5. Start the server.

Check the world config

If the server still shows the wrong world, open universe/worlds/default/config.json and check:

• DisplayName: the world’s name
• WorldGen: what’s generated outside your map (Void if you chose nothing)
• SpawnProvider → SpawnPoint: where players spawn
• GameMode: Adventure or Creative

Note

These steps follow the folder layout TalePainter writes. If something is different on your server host, tell us on Discord and we’ll update this page.
