How do I install a different version of Minecraft?

Why might I want to change the version?

Newer versions of minecraft can be demanding on system resources, which is why we recommend versions below 1.16 for our starter-Minecraft tiers. You might also have a group of friends who all play a specific version of the game.

Whatever your case may be, it's extremely easy to change the version of Minecraft running on your server.

Changing your Minecraft version

  1. Log into your Server Panel and select the Minecraft server you want to change the version of.
  2. Under the "Configration" section, select "Advanced"

  1. Using the "Install Different Edition" widget, select the edition of Minecraft and Version number. We recommend sticking with "Vanilla" and then selecting whatever version you'd like to run.

  2. (Optional) If you want to start your server fresh, tick the format option.

If you select the format option, all of your server files will be permanently DELETED

  1. Once you've set your options, click the "Install Different Edition" button
