How do I upload custom maps?

To use a custom map on your game server:

  1. Download the map from a trusted source
  2. Stop your server
  3. Upload the map with the "Files" tab, or connect over SFTP (details are in the panel)
  4. Put it in the right place for your game:
    • Minecraft: upload the world folder to the server's main folder
    • CS2: upload .vpk map files to /game/csgo/maps
    • Rust: custom maps load from a download link, not from a folder. Host the .map file online, then open a support ticket and we'll help you set it up
  5. Update your server config to use the new map
  6. Start your server

For Minecraft worlds:

  • Stop your server first
  • Back up or download your current world
  • Upload the new world folder
  • Set level-name in server.properties to the folder name
  • Start your server
