Download your Minecraft server's files

We understand you may need to download a copy of your Minecraft server's files for safekeeping or archival. We've outlined the easiest way to do so below:


This will include all your server's files, excluding any MySQL databases created via the Databases tab.


  1. Head to our game panel at panel.lilypad.gg and select your server
  2. Go to the Files tab in the sidebar
  3. Press the Download all files button at the top - this will download a .zip file to your computer containing all your server's files



Want to download just your server's world to view locally or share with friends?
You can instead right-click the world folder in the Files tab and select Download which will download a .zip file to your computer, containing just your server's world.


Need to reupload a backup to a Lilypad server in the future? If it's less than 10GB, you can just drag + drop it into the Files tab of your panel, then right-click and select Extract once uploaded. If larger than 10GB, upload via SFTP using the details at the top of the Files tab then extract in the panel once complete.
