# How Do I Add a World Border to My Minecraft Server?

How to add a world border

### Summary

World borders let you control how far players can explore in your Minecraft server. By setting specific sizes and dimensions, you can create a closer, more community-focused environment while also reducing lag by preventing far-off chunks from loading. World borders are also great for guiding players through custom maps, events, or adventures, giving your server a more immersive and controlled feel.

### How to Add a World Border to Your Minecraft Server

1.  Log in to the ChipHead Panel.

    > **Warning:** (Replace \[X\] and \[Z\] with your chosen coordinates. Tip: matching the border centre with your world spawn is recommended. You can find your position by pressing F3 in-game.)
    
4.  Set the size of the border with:
    
    “worldborder set \[size\]”

> **Warning:** (Replace \[size\] with the number of blocks away from the centre.)

Once complete, the console will confirm the commands were successful.
