The Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper use a different way to store the Nether and The End dimension into your server files, and if you change your server from Vanilla to one of the three or the other way around.

🔌 Changing from Vanilla to Bukkit/ Spigot/ Paper 🔌

To switch your world from Vanilla to Bukkit/ Spigot/ Paper you need to start by downloading your world using Filezilla. For doing so we please you to see our guide for downloading your world here.

After doing so, you will notice that your world folder has inside it two other folders called DIM1 and DIM-1.

DIM-1 is the Nether dimension
DIM1 is The End dimension




To convert your Nether and End dimensions for them to be properly read by Bukkit/ Spigot/ Paper you need to do the following:

Create two other folders called world_nether and world_the_end.



⚠ NOTE ⚠: If your world folder is named different than world then you need to name the two folders as worldname_nether and worldname_the_end.


Move the DIM-1 to the one called world_nether and the DIM1 to the one called world_the_end.


Delete your old world, then upload the world folder, and the two other folders you just created ( world_nether and world_the_end ) to the root directory of your Bukkit/ Spigot/ Paper server using Filezilla, and restart your server.

⚠ NOTE ⚠: Here is our guide for using Filezilla.


Now you just converted the two extra dimensions so the Bukkit/ Spigot/ Paper server will be able to read them properly.

Go inside the world_the_end folder, copy the DIM1 folder and paste it into your main world directory (the overworld directory).
