Resetting the Nether in a Realm in Minecraft Java Edition
Is it possible to reset the Nether in a realm? I was wondering if it was possible to reset it in the same way they get reset in other Minecraft worlds. I have a big realm where we built everything with my friends, but since we have explored much of the nether, we were going to reset it, but since it is a Realm, we don't know where to start.
Solution 1:
I would recommend:
- Backing up your realm world
- Downloading the backup locally - the current realm world will be downloaded and added to your single player worlds on your local PC
- The Nether is stored in .minecraft/saves/worldname/DIM-1. Deleting this file resets the Nether, so that all player-made changes and buildings in that dimension are undone. (Minecraft Gamepedia)
- Reset your current realm, then click "Upload world"
- Find and select the name of the world in which you deleted the nether

Note: I have never used Realms nor deleted my Nether from my world. I have only done research from the above articles. Please be careful when deleting files. Always make backups. Follow these instructions at your own risk. Good Luck!
