As you may know, the awesome Minecraft 1.20.x update has been released! The new Trails and Tales update brings new features to the game to enhance gameplay such as a new mobs like Sniffer and the new armor system to be explored!!
We all know that everyone wants to play this new version of the game with their friends, maybe even reliving some old memories and making loads of new ones, but we have some things for you to keep in mind when you start a Minecraft 1.20.x server.
For some reason, the server software for the Vanilla version of Minecraft 1.18.x seems to have some serious performance issues which mean we can’t give you the usual awesome experience on this version just yet. You might find that a server that works absolutely fine with 1.13.x won’t work very well with 1.20.x at this point.
As Mojang & Microsoft develop the server software for the Java edition of Minecraft, we can only wait until they release the next update to the server software in the hope that these performance issues are fixed. Meanwhile, we advise that you approach 1.20.x with caution and backup any data if you do decide to switch to this version of Minecraft for your server.
Overall, we hope that the server software is fixed soon and that Minecraft 1.20 will bring you fun times to come!
