This article will show you how to change your server version and type.
❓ What Is The Server Type ❓
The Server Type
section from your main Multicraft page represents the jar file that the server will load when it will be started.
All jar files of the server can be found in the jar
folder, from the root directory of the server.
If you want to use a custom jar file, see our guide here.

How to Change Your Server Type
To change your server type or version, please do the following:
- Log in to your Multicraft account here
- Click
Stop
to stop your server.
- Scroll down and click on
Server Type
then select the version of Minecraft you want to use.
- Generate a new world.
If you want to keep your current world, we recommend clicking Yes
here. This will create a completely new world and save your current world in case you want to go back to that version of Minecraft and play on it.
Click Ok
when you see this popup.
- Start your server by clicking
Start
.
That’s how to change your server type or version unless you are switching to a modpack. If you are, follow the guide below.
Switching To a Modpack
If you want to change your server type to a modpack, we’ll follow the same method but it will have a couple of different steps. You will need to do a clean install that will delete all your server files when switching to a modpack. Deleting all your server files will also delete your backups so make sure to download a backup of your world to your computer if you want to save your current world.
- The first step is to click
Stop
.
- Choose a Modpack to Install
Scroll down till you see the Server Type
option. Click on the blue box and click on the modpack you would like to use.
Click Yes
to do a clean install that will delete all your server files. Create a backup if you want to keep your current world. Then click Ok
on the next popup.
- Start Your Server
You can now click start to start your server with the new modpack.
That’s how to change your server type to a modpack.
