At Shockbyte we offer many Minecraft Bedrock Edition Dedicated Server versions. To play with the latest game version, you will need to select the highest version available on your server type selector. Please note that the latest server version may be slightly higher or lower than the current game version due to the way Mojang manages updates.

Backup your Server

We highly recommend generating a new backup for your server before following the steps in this guide. Please refer to this article for more information.

Optional 4. Lastly, we suggest resetting your Minecraft world.

We suggest resetting your world as changing server version is very likely to cause issues/corruption to your world. You can do this by following our guide here: How to Reset your Minecraft World

Alternatively, you can learn How to Create an Instance to change your server version, however, this requires you to have an available instance.
