See the Permissions page for all command permissions.

To import an existing world from an arbitrary path, you can use the /world import <path>… command.

Additional options

The import command also supports the following additional options:

  • dimension - Specifies the dimension type. Defaults to normal.
  • generator - Specifies the world generator plugin to use for generating the world.
  • --void-world - Import the world as a void world (only for migrating away from void generator plugins).

Use --void-world instead of a void generator plugin.
Learn more about why you should stop using void generator plugins.
