Installation Location

Minecraft: Java Edition is stored in the /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/ directory, it can be accessed via the File Manager or sFTP (click here for more information on sFTP). The File Manager does not display /home/minecraft/, it will appear on the File Manager as ./mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/

To find your instances ID, visit the Minecraft:Java Edition > Instance Name > Overview/Console for your instance, then click the File Manager. The panel will detect you were in the instances Overview/Console page and drop you directly into that instances installation directory, the instance ID is at the top of the File Manager:

Files added to the instance's directory will be detected by the control panel for starting the server, Mods/Plugin Management etc.

An example of a healthy structure listing:

  • /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/server.jar
  • /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/configs/
  • /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/mods/
  • /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/world/level.dat
  • /home/minecraft/mc-instances/mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/server-icon.png

Any files dropped into the /home/minecraft/ directory will not be detected by the instances menus, they must be within the /mc-INSTANCEIDHERE/ directory.
