How to Change Your Minecraft Bedrock Server Version

Change the version of your Minecraft Bedrock Edition dedicated server through the XGamingServer panel.

Here is how to change the version of your Minecraft Bedrock server. You may need to do this to match a specific game client version or to roll back after an update.

⚠️ Warning: Downgrading your server version after loading a world on a newer version can corrupt your world. Always create a backup before changing versions.

Changing Server Version

Create a Backup

Log in to the XGamingServer Panel and go to Backups in the sidebar. Create a backup of your server before making any changes.

Stop Your Server

Stop your server from the Dashboard.

Open Version Settings

In the sidebar, go to Version Changer. Select the Bedrock server version you want to run.

📝 Note: If you do not see Version Changer in the sidebar, go to Startup and look for a version or build setting there.

Start Your Server

Start your server. It will now run on the selected version.

Important Notes

Client and server versions must match. Players cannot join a server running a different version than their game client. Minecraft Bedrock Edition auto-updates on most platforms, so keep your server on the latest version whenever possible.
Downgrading is risky. Worlds created or loaded on newer versions may not work correctly on older versions. Blocks and features from newer versions can be lost or cause errors.
Check for updates regularly. Bedrock servers do not auto-update. See our update server guide for more details.
