When you configure your server, you may want to upload a custom world to improve your 7 Days to Die experience. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of locating your local worlds and then uploading one of them to your server.

📝 Locate Your World 📝

To upload your custom world, you need to first generate it in single-player and find it as shown below:
