I run a small private server for my friends and me, so I don't have to worry about many of the things that commercial servers do. However, I still take great care to keep the server in good shape and follow best practices. It is currently running the last 1.18.1 build + ViaVersion for 1.18.2 support, so updating is no rush. This is just a topic I'm curious about.
Basically, assuming that you want your server to be stable and running the latest version of Minecraft (rather than 1.8 + ViaVersion...), how long should one typically wait to update a server after Paper releases the first build of a major update (e.g. 1.18) and a minor update (e.g. 1.18.2)? Also, are there any indicators I could look for that [x] version's builds are stable or not yet stable (for example, in the changelog)?
Thank you for your time.
