# How to Download your World from your Core Keeper Server

Learn how to download your world from your Core Keeper dedicated server.

If you'd like to play on the Core Keeper world that you're currently using on your server, in singleplayer, or if you would like to have a backup of it for safe keeping, you'll need to download it onto your PC. We'll explain how with this guide!

## Stop the Server

First and foremost, make sure to stop your server before doing anything else! Making changes while the server is still running may lead to file corruption.

## Locate your World File

To do this, open your Nodecraft Pro panel and navigate to the "Server Files" section. You will need to locate the worlds folder on your Core Keeper server. This should be at: `/DedicatedServer/worlds`

You can always view the one that your server is currently using by going to Game Settings > World.

## Download the World

Now that you're in the `worlds` folder, select the world file you wish to download by clicking the tick box beside the file. Once selected, the "download" button will appear. Click that and wait for it to finish downloading! You can also use FTP to download the world from your server. We have a guide [here](https://nodecraft.com/support/knowledgebase/nodepanel/basic-ftp-tutorial) on how to do that if you aren't sure!

## Adding the World to your Singleplayer Game

If you wish to play on your newly downloaded Core Keeper world in singleplayer, you will need to navigate to the location of the world files on your PC. By default, it should be: `C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\LocalLow\Pugstorm\Core Keeper\Steam\[STEAM_ID]\worlds`  
*As a tip: The *`AppData`* folder is hidden by default so you may need to show hidden folders to find it!*

Add the world there and you're done!
