# Windrose World Manager Overview

Get an overview of the Windrose World Manager in the Nodecraft panel, including how to view, create, edit, upload, and switch between worlds on your server.

The World Manager on your Windrose server gives you an easy way to view, switch, and manage the worlds tied to your server. Whether you’re uploading a new world, changing which one is active, or organizing multiple saves, this tool helps keep everything in one place and easier to work with. In this guide, we’ll give you an overview of the World Manager on your Windrose server.

## Getting to the World Manager

1. Navigate to your Nodecraft Dashboard.
2. Click the **Panel **button for your Minecraft server.
3. Locate and click **Game Settings** in the menu on the left side.
4. Click on the **Worlds **tab.

**Note: Be sure that your Windrose server is fully stopped before making any configuration changes or setting updates!**

The main menu of the World Manager shows a list of the worlds currently on your server, as well as allowing you to create new ones. The currently selected world is highlighted in blue.

## Creating a New World

Clicking **Create New World** will open this menu:

**Generate World** will create a new, randomly named, world on your server. Once the world has been created, the **Edit World** menu will open.

**Upload World** will redirect you to the File Manager where a world can be uploaded. Check out our guide on uploading a world here:

At the top of the Edit World menu, there is a **World Name** box to enter an optional name for your world. This will help you in knowing which world is which. This name is not shown in-game.

Below is the **World Preset** box. Here you can choose from Easy, Medium, Hard, or Custom difficulties. You can find more information on setting your world’s difficulty here:
