How to Toggle Between Java and Bedrock Editions in Minecraft
Server Plans:
- Access Your Server’s Control Panel: Start by logging into the control panel of your server.
- Backup Game Saves: Before switching versions, it’s prudent to backup your current game data. Navigate to the Backups section and save your data, labeling it clearly with the version name, such as “Java ATM6 – Backup – 08/18/21”.
- Switching Game Versions: Find and click on the “Switch Game” option in the control panel’s left-side menu. This will present you with the choice between Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.
- Installation Choices: After selecting your desired version, click on “Install Game”. You will be faced with two options: “Install With Backup”, which automatically creates a backup of your current game, and “Install Without Backup”, for those opting out of a backup. Please note, switching versions will reset and change your port mappings.
- If you choose “Install With Backup”, the system will back up your server data and then initiate the switch to your selected version.
- Completion and Verification: Once the installation is complete, you’ll be redirected to your main dashboard. Your server is now configured with your chosen edition of Minecraft. Start your server, and upon its full activation, you can dive into the game using the version you’ve selected. Remember to use the new IP address after switching versions.
