How to wipe your Dark and Light server

A wipe permanently removes Dark and Light save data so the server can create a fresh world. Take a working backup first if there is anything you may need later.

  1. Open the service, stop the server and create a backup.
  2. Click Wipe Server.
  3. Tick Wipe the world? for a fresh world, or Remove ALL saved data? only when you intend to remove every saved-data file.

  4. Check the selected option, tick Are you sure? and click Execute.
  5. Wait for the task to finish, then start the server and confirm that a new world loads.

Do not select the all-saved-data option for a routine world reset. A wipe cannot be undone without a usable backup.
