Reset the world

Generate a fresh world on a Victus Minecraft server — back up, delete or rename the world folders, optionally set a new seed, and restart.

Resetting the world gives you a fresh map — useful for a new season, a fixed seed, or clearing a griefed world. Minecraft regenerates the world automatically on the next start if the world folders are gone, so the process is: back up, remove the old world, optionally set a new seed, and start.

This deletes your current world — back up first

Resetting is destructive and cannot be undone once the folders are gone. Create a Backup (Backups tab) or download the world folders first, especially if you might want them back.

Reset it

Stop the server from the Console tab (never delete world files while it runs).
Make a backup on the Backups tab.
In the Files tab, delete (or rename to keep as a spare) the world folders: world, and if present world_nether and world_the_end.
To use a specific seed, edit server.properties and set level-seed=<yourSeed> (leave blank for random).
Start the server — it generates a brand-new world.

# server.properties
level-name=world
level-seed=      # blank = random; put a number/text here for a fixed seed

Notes

Delete all three dimension folders (overworld, nether, end) or you can get mismatched/old chunks in the leftover dimensions.
A custom level-name changes which folder is used — a quick way to swap between worlds is to change that value.
On Paper/Purpur the nether/end may be in separate folders; remove them all for a truly clean reset.

Keep player data or not

Deleting the world also clears world-specific player positions/inventories tied to it. If you want to reset the map but keep some data, restore selectively from your backup, or manage it with a plugin instead.
