Resetting or Wiping Your V Rising Server for a Fresh World

 

    Sometimes you want a clean slate: a new season, a fresh map after a big patch, or a switch from PvE to PvP that needs everyone starting even. On gamever that's a reset — a wiped save and a brand-new world. This guide shows how, and the one thing to do before you pull the trigger.

 

Back up first — always

 

    A wipe is permanent. Before anything:

 

1. Download your current save over FTP (login on the Settings tab, address :28781 on the Network tab).
2. Keep that copy somewhere safe.

 

    That way, if you ever want the old world back — or you wiped by mistake — you can restore it (see backup & restore). Never wipe without a backup you can get back to.

 

How to reset

 

    There are two routes, depending on how clean you want the slate:

 

    The panel way — Reset server. The File Manager has a Reset server button. This is the straightforward way to wipe the world and start fresh.

 

 

    The manual way — clear the save. With the server Stopped, delete the save folder's world files in the File Manager (or over FTP), then Start the server — it generates a new world on boot.

 

    Either way, do it with the server stopped so the files aren't held open, and start it after to roll a fresh world.

 

Keep what you want

 

    A wipe is a good moment to re-tune. Your config files (ServerGameSettings.json, ServerHostSettings.json) and your admin/ban lists are separate from the world save, so a world wipe doesn't have to reset your rules. If you do want new rules for the new season, now's the time — apply a different Game Preset or edit the config JSON before players rejoin.

 

Uploading a world instead

 

    If you want to bring in a specific world rather than generate one, the File Manager has a "How to upload my world?" link covering that. The idea is the same: server stopped, swap the save files, start.

 

Additional Tips

 

• Back up over FTP first — a wipe can't be undone without one.
• Reset with the server stopped, then start to generate the new world.
• Re-tune while you're at it — a wipe is the perfect time to change preset or rules.
• Your admin/ban lists survive a world wipe — clear them separately if you want a totally clean server.
• Tell your clan before you wipe so no one loses a castle by surprise.

 

Conclusion

 

    Wiping a V Rising server is quick — Reset server in the File Manager, or clear the save files with the server stopped — but the real rule is to back up over FTP first so a fresh start is a choice, never a loss. Re-tune your rules for the new season while you're at it, start the server, and your clan has a clean world to conquer.
