How to Change your Server Type and Version

This article will show you how to change your server version and type.

If you are upgrading your server and want to keep the world, you MUST update it one version at a time or your world may be corrupted.

Important Information

We recommend backing up your data before any type of change. If you'd like to know how to do that, find the guide from here. It is not recommended to downgrade your world to an older versions, or the server could crash. 

We always recommend to make a clean install of your server when switching to or from modpacks. Changing your server version from Vanilla to Spigot/Paper, we recommended to keep the same Minecraft version you had before.
