Update Bedrock Server Version

This guide explains how to update your Minecraft: Bedrock Edition server to the latest version released by Mojang. Updating your server is important to get the newest features, bug fixes, and security patches.

Steps#

Follow the steps below carefully to update your server.

Step 1: Stop the Server#

Open the Console page on your server panel, then press the Stop button to shut down the server. Wait until the server status shows Offline.

Step 2: Create a Backup (Optional)#

Creating a backup before continuing is highly recommended.

1. Open the Backups tab.
2. Click the Create Backup button.
3. Name the backup (e.g., before-update-versi) then click Start backup. Wait until the backup process is finished.

Step 3: Delete the Old Server File#

1. Open the Files tab.
2. Find the file named bedrock_server.
3. Click the three dots on the right side of the file and select Delete to remove it.

Step 4: Set the Version in Startup#

1. Open the Startup tab.
2. Find the Server Version input field or similar.
3. Make sure the field is filled with the word latest (all lowercase). This tells the system to download the latest stable version.

Step 5: Reinstall the Server#

1. Open the Settings tab.
2. Find the Reinstall Server button and click it.

This process will re-download the new bedrock_server file according to the latest version you set. This process will not delete your other data.

Step 6: Start the Server#

After the reinstall process is finished, return to the Console page and press the Start button. Your server will boot up using the latest Bedrock version.

Done#

Your server has now been successfully updated. You can check the server version in the console log while the server is running.
