World Data & Persistence
Your game world data is stored on a persistent volume that survives server stops and restarts. You never lose progress just because you stopped your server.
How It Works
When you create an Adventure, a dedicated storage volume is provisioned for your game data. This volume contains:
- World saves and map data
- Player data and inventories
- Server configuration files
- Mods and plugins (where applicable)
Stopping vs Destroying
| Action | What Happens to Data |
|---|---|
| Stop | Server shuts down. Data is preserved. Start again anytime. |
| Destroy | Server and all data are permanently deleted. Cannot be undone. |
Data Retention
- Active account (positive balance): Data is stored indefinitely at no extra cost.
- Zero balance: Data is retained for 60 days. You’ll receive email notifications before deletion.
- After 60 days at zero balance: Volumes are permanently deleted.
Tips
- Stop your server when you’re not playing — your data stays safe and you save credits.
- If you’re going to be away for a while, make sure your account has a positive balance to avoid the 60-day retention window.
- Consider using SFTP to download important world files as a local backup.
