Guide

Step #1:
With your server being on the Vanilla Minecraft egg, head over to Game Settings.

Step #2:
Set the Minecraft Version to the Minecraft version you want your server to be on, or latest to install the latest Minecraft version available.

Step #3:
If you are migrating from Paper, Spigot or any other fork of those, toggle the Migrate Paper World option.
If you wish to force upgrade your world, you can enable that option as well, although it's not really necessary anymore.

Step #4:
Change your Java Version according to the version of Minecraft you will be installing.
Here is a cheat sheet for which Java version pairs with which Minecraft version.

Java 17 -> Minecraft 1.18.x and later
Java 16 -> Minecraft 1.17.x
Java 8 or Java 11 (start with Java 8) -> Any Minecraft version before 1.17

Step #5:
Head over to General Settings and hit the Reinstall Server button, then wait for your server to be reinstalled.

Done! Your Server is now on Vanilla Minecraft!
