In this guide, we will be explaining how to update your PaperMC server to new Minecraft vanilla releases. This is purely meant for updating on Day 1 release and should be used only if you wish to use Vanilla Minecraft.
BEFORE YOU CONTINUE WITH THIS GUIDE, TAKE A BACKUP AND ALLOW IT TO COMPLETE BEFORE CONTINUING.
MAJOR UPDATES MAY CONTAIN WORLD BREAKING CHANGES AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP IN RESERVE.
Step 1: Navigate to your Raw Power Panel and select the General Settings
tab.
Step 2: Once on the General Settings
tab, find the Game Switcher
option on the page.
Step 3: Once you have found the Game Switcher option, select the Category Minecraft Java
and Game Type Vanilla Minecraft
. After you select those options, click the orange SWITCH
button.
Step 4: Once clicking the orange SWITCH
button, select the option REINSTALL THE SERVER
in the new prompt that appeared confirming the egg switch. Leave the Docker Image as Java 17
if it's already set to it. If it's set to an older java version, swap it to 17. Once you've selected the correct options, click the red Yes, Switch
button.
Step 5: Once the Egg Setup screen prompts, make sure your Server Jar File
is set to something recognizable. Make sure Server Version
is always set to latest
. The custom Startup Flags should be empty or using the Special Flags
specified in Startup Settings. And enable MIGRATE PAPER WORLD
to migrate your Spigot/Paper world to a Vanilla world. After you do, click the red Finish
button.
Step 6: After clicking Finish
, your console should output something similar. Once it prompts Installation Complete
, the server should be good to boot.
And DONE! You have now updated your server to the latest Minecraft Vanilla update from Paper.
