Question What Happens If I Change My Server Type?

[sharkdragon37]

So right now, I have my server type as a regular 1.20 vanilla server, but once Paper is updated to 1.20, I would like to change it. When that happens, what would happen to my MC world?

In my experience, with prior versions, I don't think there should be an issue. You may have to restructure the nether and end world folders for the server environment. Typically in a server they are side by side with the overworld with a name suffix as so:

• world
• world_nether
• world_the_end

The server should automatically handle moving dimensions to the right folder. But always make sure you have a backup. Do note that if you want to go back to vanilla, you will have to do some manual moving of folders.
