How to Update Your Minecraft Server to 1.19 (The Wild Update)
The Minecraft 1.19 The Wild Update has officially been released, bringing new biomes and mobs to the game. If you want to explore all the new content and experience it with your friends, updating your existing server to Minecraft 1.19 is essential. In this tutorial, Shockbyte will guide you through the process of updating your server to the latest version of Minecraft.
Create a Backup
Before updating your server, it’s important to create a backup of your existing server files. This ensures that you have a copy of your previous server files in case something breaks during the update, or if you want to restore your server to a previous version. To create a backup, stop your server and use an FTP client to manually backup your server files to your computer. If you need help with using an FTP client, Shockbyte provides tutorials for FileZilla and WinSCP on their website.
Updating Your Server
Once you have created a backup for your server, you can proceed with updating your server to Minecraft 1.19. Updating your server version is relatively easy, but there are a few extra steps to consider if you are updating from older versions of the game. For example, if your server is before version 1.16, you might need to reset your Nether to accommodate the new terrain generation. Additionally, non-vanilla server types like Spigot, Paper, Forge, and Fabric might not be immediately available for the new update, so it’s recommended to wait for these server types to become available before updating.
Start a Minecraft 1.19 Server
To update your server, head to the server control panel and ensure that the server is stopped. Then, select the server type and version you wish to use. If you’re using Shockbyte, you have the option to select the auto-updating vanilla Minecraft option, which automatically updates your server to the newest version of Minecraft 1.19 when updates are released. Once you’ve selected the version you want, save your changes and start your server. Congratulations, you have successfully updated your server to Minecraft 1.19!
