# ❓ How to Find Your Actual World Name ❓

For Java servers, the world folder can be found in the root directory of the server, the one that contains all the other files or folders.

|| NOTE: The default world folder name is `world`.  
---

To find your actual world name please do the following:

1. Log in to your Multicraft panel [here](https://mc.ggservers.com/site/login).  
---

2. Note the content of the box titled `World` because that is your world folder name.
