Minecraft
Will changing region reset my world or change my IP?
Your world and files come with you on a region transfer — nothing is wiped. The one thing that does change is your IP.
What stays and what changes
- Stays: your world, plugins, mods, configs, and all files. A transfer copies them.
- Changes: your IP (and possibly port), because the server moves to different hardware.
If you share a raw IP:port, you'll need to hand out the new one after the move. If you use a custom domain, just update the A record (and the SRV port if it changed) and players keep the same address.
Tip: Set up a domain before you migrate and the change is invisible to your players — you update one record and they never notice.
Frequently asked questions
Will my players have to change anything? Only if you share the raw IP. With a domain, you update the record and they use the same name.
Does the transfer reset my world seed or progress? No — your files move intact, so worlds and progress are preserved.
