Choose Java server software and version

Last updated: July 23, 2026

This guide shows you how to switch a NolimitHost server to Java Edition and select the Minecraft Java version from the game panel.

Use Versions to choose the Minecraft Java version the server runs. Server software is the program that runs the Minecraft server (for example Vanilla, Paper, or Purpur), and the version is the Minecraft release it uses.

Switch to Java Edition

  1. Open the server — Sign in at panel.nolimithost.cc and select the server you want to change.
  2. Create a backup — Back up files and world data before changing the server edition or software.
  3. Open Server Actions — Go to Advanced > Server Actions and choose Minecraft Java Edition or a specific server type such as Paper, Purpur, or Vanilla. Stop the server before applying the change, so the running process does not interfere with the new files.
  4. Apply the change — Follow the panel prompts, then wait for the software change to finish before starting the server.
Warning: Changing from Bedrock to Java does not convert a Bedrock world, behavior pack, or resource pack into a Java-compatible format.

Choose a Java version

  1. Open Versions — Log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel at https://panel.nolimithost.cc/, select your Java server, and go to Versions.
  2. Select a version — Choose your preferred Minecraft Java version.
  3. Check compatibility — Confirm that the server software, plugins, mods, modpack, and player clients support that version.
  4. Start and verify — Start the server, watch the console for errors, and connect with a client on the selected version.

Software and version are different settings

SettingWhat it controls

If a plugin or mod stops working after a version change, install a release that supports the selected Java version or restore your backup.
