  • So, when I first started using Aternos I uploaded a world that I have played on. Now I would like to download it back but every time I do it always downloads the original one I upload to the server. Any help?

    You're not downloading an old version of your world (we don't save old versions of your world), you're just using old player data when opening the world in single-player mode. Minecraft is saving playerdata differently depending on whether it's running in single-player or multiplayer, so Minecraft will use the single-player data from before you uploaded the world rather than the newer multiplayer data.


    The easy option would be to just put your items in a chest before downloading your world.

    The "real" fix is to open the level.dat file of your downloaded world in an NBT editor (like https://irath96.github.io/webNBT/) and remove the "Player" tag.
