# How to Reset the Nether or End Dimensions on Your Minecraft Server

**Minecraft’s Nether and End dimensions offer tons of adventure, rare resources, and dangerous enemies, but every now and then, a fresh start is exactly what your server needs. Maybe you want new structures to explore, more resources to mine, or just a fresh challenge to keep things exciting. Resetting these dimensions is a quick way to shake things up and only takes a few minutes.

### Step 1: Log in

Log in to your [Nexus Hosting Account](https://gamecp.nexuscorehosting.com/auth/login).

### Step 3: Stop the Server

Before making any changes, stop the server to avoid potential data issues. On the **Terminal** page, click the red **Stop** button.

### Step 4: Download Backup

Before you reset these dimensions, you should back up your server. Click the **Backup** icon from the sidebar. Then select the **three ellipses** on the backup of your choice and click **Download**. Save the back up on your device, somewhere you can easily locate it. 

If you haven’t made any backups yet, please see our article on [Automatic Backups](https://help.nexushosting.io/en/article/how-to-set-up-automated-backups-for-your-minecraft-server-12dtgbp/) to learn how to get started.

### Step 5: Open the world folder

Now, click **Files** from the sidebar. Locate and select the primary world folder – it’s usually just called **world**. This folder contains your main overworld as well as the Nether and End dimensions.

### Step 6: Delete Nether or End Dimension Folders

Inside the main world folder, you'll see subfolders labeled:

* **DIM-1** (The Nether)
    
* **DIM1** (The End)

To reset a dimension, simply select the check box for the folder, then click the **trash can** icon in the bottom right to delete it. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

### Step 7:  Delete in Worlds (Alternative)

If you'd like a simpler method, you can click **More** (the ellipses in the sidebar) and then select **Worlds** from the pop-up menu. At the top, you'll see all of your worlds (and dimensions) listed. To reset one, just click the **trash can** icon.
