It tells the server exactly which save file to load from your directory. If you are uploading a local save or switching between multiple different worlds, you must update this GUID to match the specific world folder. Follow these steps to change your World GUID using the GGServers panel.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Access the GGServers Panel and Stop Your Server<\/h3>\n<p>Log in to your account at the <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com\/\">GGServers Control Panel<\/a>. Before changing the world data, you must <strong>Stop<\/strong> your server. This prevents file corruption and ensures the server looks for the new GUID immediately upon the next startup.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"121\" height=\"56\" class=\"wp-image-17502\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png\" alt=\"Stop the Sunkenland server\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32.png 121w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-50x23.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-60x28.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/image-32-100x46.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 121px) 100vw, 121px\" \/>\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Always stop the server before changing world identifiers.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Navigate to Server Settings<\/h3>\n<p>On the left-hand navigation sidebar, click on <strong>Server Settings<\/strong>.

The GUID is the unique string of characters found at the end of your world save folder name. For example, if your save folder is named <em>MyWorld~12345-67890-abcde<\/em>, the GUID you need to enter is <code>12345-67890-abcde<\/code>.
