How to update Minecraft server 1.19.2 – The Wild Update

Get started with update Minecraft servers

Use modded Minecraft server hosting with a new update. Minecraft 1.19 update - The Wild Update has been released!

With every update it takes a while for softwares such as Spigot, Paper and forks of it to update and support all the changes. Unfortunately it's not possible to have a set ETA for 1.19 support but you can keep track of updates on SpigotMC.org or on PaperMC's GitHub!

Moving forward the game will use Java's latest release, Java 17.

Create a Minecraft server backup before update

A new version of the game with loads of new content also means potential new exploits and issues.

• Before updating be sure to create and test a backup of your entire server. Downgrading a world without causing corruption is near impossible.
• Moreover , we would highly suggest you set that up before updating.
• Once you update to 1.19 you can't go back to any previous version, unless you reset your worlds or restore a backup that was made when the server was on the previous version.
