Overview
Moving over existing files from a Minecraft server involves transferring the essential data and configuration files from one server to another. Transferring existing files from one Minecraft server to another involves creating backups of player data, world progress, plugins, and configurations from the old server. This could be due to server migration, upgrading hardware, or switching hosting providers. Properly migrating these files ensures a smooth transition without losing player data, world progress, and server settings.
