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:

1. Start 7 Days to Die, then generate a world in single-player.  
---

2. Press the Windows button and type `run`, then press `Enter`.  
---

3. Type in the box the following text, then click `Ok`: `%appdata%\7DaysToDie\Saves`.

![Run](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/b6466e46e4eab000/3015e22f-473d-4f28-a9e8-52f6af_1wsfb67.png)

Here you can find folders corresponding to each specific generation type. The world folders are located inside them, depending on the generation type used.  
---

4. Get a copy of your generation folder, which contains the world folder. You will also have to note the name of the generation folder (`Navezgane` in the example below) and the world folder (`My Game` in the example below).

![Generation Folder](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/5e47c34e172b2c00/59261bcd-87e2-48e7-9276-5f52a1_10fcuv3.png)

Now, you've just got a copy of your world folder!

## 💠 Custom Generation

If you are using a custom generation for your world, some extra steps are required:

1. Open your game installation folder, open the `Data` folder, then the `Worlds` folder.

---

2. Open the folder with the same name as your custom generation type, then open the file titled `map_info.xml` with a text editor like NotePad.

---

3. Locate the following options and note their values: `HeightMapSize`, `Generation.Seed`.

|| ⚠ **NOTE** ⚠: The `HeightMapSize` may show up as two identical numbers. You need to note only one of the values.
