How to Change Your Minecraft Server Version

HEO Systems makes it incredibly easy to switch your server software or version (e.g., from Vanilla to Paper, or updating to 1.21).

[!IMPORTANT] Backup Your Data! Changing server versions can sometimes cause compatibility issues, especially if downgrading. Always create a backup in the Backups tab before proceeding.

Steps to Change Version

  1. Stop the server.
    • Ensure the server is completely offline before making changes.
  2. Navigate to the Versions tab.
    • This is a special tab in our panel designed to make version management simple.
  3. Select your desired server software and version.
    • You can choose from popular options like Paper, Purpur, Vanilla, Fabric, and more.
  4. Install.
    • Click the button to apply the change.
    • Note: This will replace your server jar file. It usually does not delete your world or configs, but backing up is still recommended.
