moving from one server host to another
hi this is my first time hosting a server & i just made one with my friends through minehut, thinking that it would be fine. I later found out that minehut has a daily 4 hr limit to server usage, so people are on there for ages & it chews up everyone elses time which is pretty annoying. So anyway I decided to try using Scalacube instead because that seems to have everything i'm looking for + it's free (i dont want to pay any money for this).
What i need help with, is my friends dont want to completely restart the server so i'm going to try copy the whole world & move it from hosting through Minehut to Scalacube.
My questions are:
1. how would i do this? (i'm on Mac + lunar client idk if that changes anything)
2. would EVERYTHING copy? eg waypoints, nametagged mobs, inventories, chests, etc,
3. is there anything i should be aware of when im doing this? i'm very new to all of this so yea
Any help would be appreciated (ping me please). i'm also gonna post this to the subreddit. thanks everyone :)

First u need to archive every file in your old server, and download it
after that you just need to upload and extract it in your new server
Everything will be copied if it were on the server side, but it would not be copy the client side (maybe if your waypoint are client / player side)
the process is quite pain in the ass if youre dealing with large data, but from what i see i think you only playing with your friend so maybe its not that quite pain in the ass
Extra Note: make sure all the file are extracted completely in your new host before starting the server so you dont need to do the whole thing again :Hmmm:
ok thank you so much! (i wont close the question yet if that's ok bc i may come back with follow up questions)
@amelia
wdym by archive it? when i went onto my minehut file explorer it just gives me the option of downloading all my files straight away
Backup it first then download @coolest cucumber
there should be backup option in your panel
hi thanks, so i did everything up until trying to upload the files to the new server host, then found out i need premium to do it, which is $30aud/month so i might try again another time when i find a better server host that doesnt charge me to upload my own files
thanks so much for ur help
