# Enable experimental mode

Enabling experimental mode on a server allows server administrators and players to explore and test upcoming features, enhancements, and modifications before their official release.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Experiments can be **highly unstable** and may cause lag, world corruption, or server faults. Make sure you're certain before enabling experiments.
{% endhint %}

## Creating and exporting the world

Launch Minecraft Bedrock Edition, and create a new singleplayer world. 

Go to the "Experiments" tab.

Toggle on the desired experimental features, and then create the world once done.

Once the world generates, save and quit from the world. Once you're back at the worlds menu, click on the pencil icon next to the world.&#x20;

On the "Game" tab, scroll to the bottom and click "Export World".

Export the world to a folder on your device.

## Importing the world

To get started, make sure your server is offline.&#x20;

Login to the server using an SFTP client such as FileZilla.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you haven't used SFTP before, you'll need to [download and configure](/knowledgebase/game-panel/use-sftp-with-filezilla.md) a client before proceeding.
{% endhint %}

Within your SFTP client, open the `worlds` folder.

Create a new directory within that folder.

<figure><img src="/files/bjKI1VF1V06JICeIUjh3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Drag and drop the MCWORLD file (of the world you previously exported) into the new folder.

<figure><img src="/files/t2PrlE6WBHtMV5EiEuAj" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can now close SFTP.

## Setting the new world

Head over to the [Game Panel](https://game.lodestone.host) and select "File Manager" on the sidebar menu.

Find the following directory: `/home/container/worlds/<WorldName>` . You can now click on the MCWORLD file and decompress (unarchive) it.&#x20;

Return to the main directory, and click on the `server.properties` file to edit it.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/HZZdtYIORnz1e7ScFueP" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Change the `level-name` value to the name of your new world.&#x20;

Once done, click "Save File" and restart your server to update the configuration.
