Method 1: Manual Save Rename

These are the steps to manually roll back the World save data.

Step 1: Log into your game control panel and navigate to your server's control panel

Step 2: Stop your server

Step 3: Click the File Manager icon  and navigate to the worlds_local folder

Step 4: Look for your current world's main save file, by default this is savegame.db. If you changed the world name option in your command line, you would look for the main .db file with that worlds name.

Step 5: Rename the save file to something else (example: oldsavegame.db)

Step 6: Next, find a backup save that you want to roll back to. It would be labeled with the worlds name and have a timestamp in the file name. (example: savegame_backup_auto-20230422023443.db)

The Timestamp code is YearMonthDayTime

Step 7: Rename the backup save so it has the name of the main save file, (example: renaming savegame_backup_auto-20230422023443.db to be savegame.db)
