Universe Compatibility

Player data is tied to the specific universe it was created in. You must upload the player data to the matching universe on your server for it to work correctly.

Step 1: Locate Your Singleplayer Player Data

First, you need to find your player data files on your computer.

Open the Universe Folder

This will open the universe directory on your computer.
Inside the players/ folder, you will find player data files that store your character progress, inventory, and stats.
