How to Set a World Border on Your Minecraft Server

A world border stops players from exploring forever. That keeps the world small, which helps disk space and lag.

Set it from the console

Open Console while the world is online and type, without the slash:

  1. worldborder center 0 0 sets the middle.
  2. worldborder set 10000 makes the border 10,000 blocks wide (5,000 in each direction from the center).
  3. worldborder get shows the current size.

Why it helps

Every new chunk players explore is generated and saved. Each plan has a disk limit, and big worlds also make downloads and backups slower. A border plus pregeneration keeps exploring smooth.
