How to Change your Minecraft Bedrock Server Version
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.
