i) Docker Image Requirement

Depending on the server version, the Docker image may also need to be updated.

To determine which Java version to use:

  • 1.8 → 1.16.5 → Use Java 8 or newer
  • 1.17 → 1.18 → Use Java 17 or newer

ii) Downgrading Warning

If you are downgrading your server version (for example, from 1.18.2 to 1.18.1), you must reset your world for the server to start properly.
