Question Can I use outdated clients for the new papermc?

  • After careful consideration and due to limited usage, we’ve made the decision to discontinue the PaperMC forums. Moving forward, we recommend using Hangar for plugin uploads, and for all other community discussions and support, please join us on Discord.

I don't understand how papermc works. I installed papermc 1.20.6 on my server and it only allows minecraft 1.20.6 clients. However, plugins like essentials don't support 1.20.6. Is it correct to use 1.20.1 papermc instead of the latest one to use plugins like essentials?

You may find a dev build for EssentialsX for 1.20.6, but otherwise it definitely works on 1.20.4 and you should be using that while waiting for stability.
